AERIAL ADVERTISING

Aerial advertising uses hot air balloons to promote brands, products, services, or events. It combines elements of aerial advertising and marketing to create very memorable, visually striking campaigns.


A branded hot air balloon isn’t just a marketing tool; it’s an event that brings excitement and captivates the attention of onlookers. The distinctive size and shape of a hot air balloon, fitted with a company’s brand or logo are unforgettable. The balloon emblazoned with the brand’s message or logo isn’t just seen, it creates an event that is photographed, shared, and remembered. 


Using a corporate hot air balloon and aerial marketing program allows companies to build a relationship with their consumer, elevate the company brand or message, and create a unique event that will be engraved in people's minds.

    The design opportunities for a custom hot air balloon are endless, anything your imagination can dream can be made into a flying reality. All balloons command attention but creating a unique design tailored to a company's brand and logo allows the consumer to visually associate the balloon to the brand.


    The balloon will be built by a professional manufacturer and will need to be ordered in advance of the planned start of the program. Build time can be anywhere from a few months to a year depending on when the balloon is ordered.

Additionally, the lifespan of a hot air balloon is typically 3-4 years, meaning the total marketing cost will decrease year over year.
