Effective Outdoor Advertising Techniques -
Inflatable Advertising
by Peter Calleri
Outdoor advertising is an affordable way to gain
high-frequency visibility to your target audience. There are many forms
of Outdoor Advertising. You have conventional forms such as billboards,
vehicle advertisements, or street furniture. On the other side of the
spectrum, you also have more unconventional means of advertising that
hold equal, or more, opportunity to draw attention. One of these more
popular unconventional forms is inflatable advertising. In this
article, we will discuss some of the advantages to using Inflatable
Advertising as an affordable way to enhance your brand.
What is Inflatable Advertising?
Inflatable Advertising is any type of commercial signage that is
intended to be filled with air. They can have any type of shape
imaginable and come in sizes that can range to handheld to hot air
balloons. Custom inflatable shapes, blimps, balloon replicas, balls,
air filled display boards, are popular forms of inflatable advertising.
Below are the benefits of using inflatable advertising:
High-frequency visibility
To help enhance brand image, you want your advertising as simple to
remember as possible, but also as visible to as many people as
possible. Imagine being at a festival, convention, or fair working hard
to increase exposure for your brand to the public. Now, also imagine an
extra large blow up of your company logo, mascot, or signage that
overlooks the masses. When you're outdoors, you're fully utilizing
commercial space when you can demand consumers' attention with a
gigantic balloon or blimp.
It's Unconventional
This is by far not your average advertising. It gives a high regard to
creativity--inflatables are fun! Kids love them. Inflatable Advertising
commands attention. Commercial balloons sport brilliant colors and
shapes, and because of the 3-dimensional natural, thousands will see it
from any direction.
Limitless use
Large billboards and vehicle signage are often large and cumbersome to
try to store and reuse. Because of their nature, these forms of outdoor
advertising are usually painted, printed, and torn down when done with.
Inflatable advertising of company signage and logos can be easily
deflated and stored until the next use.
Convenient
Inflatable advertising is highly convenient. Since most of the space it
is taking up while on display is air, you can accomplish filling a
massive amount of space with little material. When you deflate it, it
can be folded neatly and easily carried away as a tent would in
camping. For the potential size of your inflatable, the ability to
deflate and ship the piece is incredibly convenient.
