Outdoor advertising that goes up in an hour and comes down in fifteen minutes.
How it works
We size the balloon to the site rather than the photograph. That usually means asking about the wind, the anchor points and what is overhead.
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.
Grocery and convenience
Grocery competes on habit, and habits break when something looks different. A balloon over the entrance for a fortnight is enough to make a regular driver reconsider the turn they usually take.
Real estate open houses
An open house is advertised to the street, not the internet, on the day itself. A balloon marks the property from both ends of the road.
Questions we get
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.
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.
What it costs
Every price below is current for 2026. Plain means the balloon on its own; printed means your artwork on it. There is no quote form standing between you and the number.

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
Kansas Balloons work in Kansas
Most of our Kansas promotions run around Wichita and Overland Park, and along I-135 where the traffic already is. The Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.
Kansas is genuinely windy country. A smaller blimp on a short tether outlasts a big one that has to come down by noon.
