Washington Balloons

A balloon over the lot outsells a banner on the fence, for the same reason a billboard beats a flyer.

What we build

• Advertising blimps — Helium blimps from 10 to 30 feet, flown on a tether above the building. Visible from roads that cannot see your sign.
• Cold-air inflatables — Ground-standing shapes, characters and product replicas, run on a quiet blower. No helium.
• Round balloons — The classic sales-event balloon, 4.5 to 14 feet across. The cheapest way into outdoor advertising.

Local

Washington Balloons work in Washington

Most of our Washington promotions run around Seattle and Spokane, and along I-5 where the traffic already is. The Washington State Fair in Puyallup is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.

West of the mountains the dry window is July to September. Spokane and the east side get a longer, hotter, calmer season.

How it works

Tell us the site and the season and we will size the balloon for it. Wind matters more than most people expect, and a balloon that is too large for the location spends the weekend on the ground.

Pharmacies and clinics

Flu season and new-clinic openings both want visibility for a few weeks only. Buying a permanent sign for a temporary message is the wrong trade.

Fuel stations and truck stops

Highway sites are chosen at speed and from distance. A balloon adds a second landmark above the price sign, which is often what is actually seen first.

Distribution and industrial parks

Industrial estates are unsigned mazes. Recruiters and open days use a balloon simply so people can find the right unit.

Questions we get

Do I need a permit?

It depends entirely on the city and how high you fly. Most sites under fifty feet on private property are straightforward, but ring your local planning office first.

How much helium does it take?

A ten-foot blimp takes about 105 cubic feet. A twenty-five-foot one takes about 440. Helium is bought locally rather than shipped with the balloon.

What happens in wind?

Every balloon has a wind rating and it should be respected. In consistently windy places a smaller balloon that stays up all weekend beats a larger one that does not.

What it costs
