Tucson Balloons

An advertising balloon is the cheapest way to make a building impossible to drive past.

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.

Tucson Balloons work in Tucson

Tucson promotions cluster along I-10. The Pima County Fair is the date most retailers plan around. We are based here, so delivery is a drive rather than a freight quote.

Monsoon storms roll through July and August most afternoons. The rest of the year is dry, still and excellent for a tethered balloon.

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.

Banks and credit unions

Branches promote rates that nobody can read from a car. The balloon does not carry the detail; it carries the invitation to look, and the sign does the rest.

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.

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

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.

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.
