New York Blimps

Helium blimps run from ten to thirty feet. The smaller ones are easier to fly in wind; the larger ones are visible from much further away.

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

New York Blimps work in New York

Most of our New York promotions run around New York City and Buffalo, and along I-87 where the traffic already is. The Great New York State Fair in Syracuse is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.

Upstate has a clean May-to-October season. Downtown sites are usually limited by permits and buildings rather than weather.

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.

Gyms and fitness studios

January is the whole year for a gym. A balloon during the first three weeks catches people who have decided to join something but not yet decided where.

RV and boat dealers

RV lots are large, flat and set back from the highway, which makes them hard to judge at speed. A thirty-foot balloon gives the site a scale marker drivers can see from the exit ramp.

Tyre and auto service shops

Service shops are usually on a busy road with nowhere to put a sign that anyone can read at forty miles an hour. A balloon sits above the traffic and the parked cars, which is the only clear space available.

Questions we get

Can we reuse it next year?

That is the normal pattern. Stored dry and out of the sun, a balloon comes out for the same sale for several years running.

How long does a balloon last?

The polyurethane we weld is rated in years of outdoor use, not weeks. What wears first is usually the printing on a balloon flown in strong sun every day.

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.
