An advertising balloon is the cheapest way to make a building impossible to drive past.
How it works
Order, artwork, proof, build, ship. Most promotions run two to three weeks from the first call to the balloon being in the air.
Trade shows and expos
Indoor stands compete at eye level, where everyone is equal. An inflatable above the stand is visible from the door of the hall.
Electronics and appliance retail
Big-box competition is decided in the car park. Whichever store looks like something is happening usually gets the first visit.
Grand openings
A new business gets one week of genuine curiosity from the neighbourhood. A balloon spends that week telling everyone within sight that something has changed here. It is the cheapest element of an opening budget and usually the most photographed.
Questions we get
Can you print our artwork?
Yes. Send vector artwork if you have it. We proof the layout on the balloon shape before anything is printed.
How quickly can it ship?
A plain balloon from stock ships quickly. A printed one runs on artwork approval, usually two to three weeks from order.
Cold-air or helium?
Helium flies above the building; cold-air stands on the ground and needs a power point. Helium wins on distance, cold-air wins on cost and simplicity.
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
Wisconsin Balloons work in Wisconsin
Most of our Wisconsin promotions run around Milwaukee and Madison, and along I-94 where the traffic already is. The Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.
Summer is short and busy, and lake wind shapes the Milwaukee lakefront. June to September is the working season.
