Advertising With Balloons

Hot air balloons have been used as a promotional tool ever since they were invented in France in 1783. The first hot air balloon was, after all, branded in homage to the King.

Imagine for a moment how many people will see your balloon if it flies over a major city: 50,000 or maybe 100,000 people, then think about how, with the right PR programme, your balloon can appear in traditional media outlets, as well as, online. Then add to that, at no additional cost, being able to fly staff, clients and customers, the marketing and advertising appeal of hot air balloons becomes apparent.

How many forms of advertising can you name that the public will drive many miles just to photograph or which the press will happily give print space and air time to for free? A branded hot air balloon can get your brand image, or name, on TV, free of charge!

Types Of Hot Air Balloons

In the same way that you can buy a vehicle for almost any purpose, hot air balloons come in a variety of sizes designed for individual purposes, as well as special shaped balloons, designed specifically for a client's brand or product.

The following sections will provide you with more information about the types and sizes of balloon available: Special Shapes, Standard Balloons and Cloudhoppers.
