Quick Sizing Guidance (Fast Starting Point)
Pick the goal → pick the product
| Your goal | Usually best starting point |
|---|---|
| Make the location easy to find | Giant advertising balloon over the site OR a high-visibility blimp above the lot |
| Drive walk-ins fast (roads/traffic) | High-contrast lettering on a blimp or balloon with short messaging |
| Create buzz + photos | Custom shape / replica inflatable (or bold balloon colorway) |
Rule of thumb: fewer words + higher contrast = faster readability.
Helium planning (examples)
Helium needs depend on size and design. Here are two reference examples used in your materials:
- 13 ft blimp: ~170 cubic feet of helium (example)
- 30 ft blimp: ~1,510 cubic feet of helium (example)
Compare: Polyurethane vs PVC (For Advertising Balloons & Blimps)
| What you care about | Polyurethane (common reasons buyers choose it) | PVC (common trade-offs) |
|---|---|---|
| Helium hold performance | Typically better helium retention and longer usable time | Often shorter retention vs polyurethane |
| Durability | Chosen for strength and long-term reuse | Varies by build; often positioned as lower-cost options |
| Color + appearance over time | Often described as vibrant and longer-lasting | May show wear sooner depending on quality |
| Best fit | Serious, repeat-use campaigns and brand standards | Shorter-term or budget-first decisions |
We focus on high-quality polyurethane products because buyers want reliable performance and a better long-term value.
