Inflatable Advertising

Not all inflatable advertising manufacturers are equal.  One of the ways Inflatable Design Works (IDW) sets ourselves apart from other inflatable advertising manufacturers is our production process.  Designing and manufacturing our custom inflatables is a very involved process that we do not take lightly.

First, we discuss your goals and objectives.  We also gain an understanding of your target demographics and competition.  If you have a rough drawing of your vision, feel free to present it to us. Or, perhaps you wish to brainstorm some ideas with our creative team.  Either way, we will come up with a rough concept of your customized giant inflatable to get started.

Next, we will evaluate your concept, deadline and budget and present you with a quote for the design and manufacturing of your customized giant inflatable. Once you accept our quote, we begin designing the concept art.  You will then be presented with a 2D schematic of your customized giant inflatable.

During the next stage, we develop a scaled 3D rendering of your customized giant inflatable.  This is where our custom inflatables really begin to come to life!  Once you give us final approval, your customized giant inflatable will go into production.

We follow this model with all custom inflatables, including our inflatable characters, inflatable product replicas and inflatable attention grabbers.  This process allows you to preview your customized giant inflatable before it goes into production. Many inflatable advertising manufacturers will only provide a rendering of their giant inflatables.  This often leads to the customer not getting what they expect.

Giant Inflatables

Franchise owners are often offered standard advertising tools to help promote their businesses.  However, the cookie cutter approach to marketing is rarely successful, so franchise owners are tasked with customizing these tools to reach target audiences in their local markets.  One innovative way to accomplish this is by incorporating inflatable attention grabbers.  Let’s take a look at some customized giant inflatable ideas to help franchise owners market their businesses:

Inflatable Product Replicas

When it comes to inflatable attention grabbers, inflatable product replicas rank toward the top.  A product replica is so appealing because it is recognizable and larger than life. We can take any product and create a customized giant inflatable to display at an event or at your storefront.  Examples of popular inflatable product replicas that we’ve created for franchises include Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrels, Wendy’s food and drink and Nike shoes.

Inflatable Characters

IDW creates inflatable characters for many franchise operators who participate in local events.  After all, what would McDonald’s be without Ronald McDonald?  If you are a franchise operator, we can create giant inflatables of your characters and mascots. When creating franchised inflatable characters, we follow any provided branding guidelines to ensure they are designed to the required specifications.

Are you a franchisee who is seeking innovative ways to marketing your business? If so, we can help.  Inflatable attention grabbers are affordable, memorable and can be easily stored so they can be used over and over again.  If you are ready to take your business to the next level, give us a call today!

We are currently taking orders for giant inflatables, custom event tents and custom advertising inflatables for upcoming Fall events.  Now is the time to consider your needs and explore ways you can utilize inflatable advertising to make your brand stand out. Let’s take a look:

Giant Inflatables

Part Two

We are continuing our series on how giant inflatables can reinforce brand recognition.  Our last article discussed how inflatable advertising including inflatable characters, inflatable product replicas and inflatable arches can be creatively incorporated into your event, tradeshow or company marketing plan. Let’s look at three more ways you can use giant inflatables to stand out in the crowd.

Break Out the Shovels/Cut the Ribbon!

Groundbreaking and ribbon cutting ceremonies are often scripted and boring.  Giant inflatables can turn an ordinary ceremony into an engaging and exciting experience your guests and customers will talk about.  Inflatable product replicas and inflatable characters are especially eye-catching at these types of events.  They also make for great photo ops.  These giant inflatables can be complemented with inflatable arches and custom event tents to help drive your message home.

Out with the Old, In with the Bold!

Standard tradeshow and event booths blend in with the crowd.  Incorporating inflatable product replicas and inflatable characters into your booth design draws attention to your space.  If you really want to go all out, consider inflatable arches and custom event tents.  The professionals at Inflatable Design Works (IDW) can help you create a booth that makes a statement!

Ditch the Heavy Product Replicas

Old style product replicas are heavy, bulky and do not travel well.  Replacing them with inflatable product replicas has many benefits. They take up less storage space, are easy to set-up and take down and they are portable!

Are you ready to take your brand recognition to the next level? If so, give your friends at IDW a call to get started today!

Giant Inflatables

Part One

Giant inflatables are an effective and affordable way to reinforce brand recognition. Consumers are inundated with advertising, so making sure your message cuts through the clutter makes all the difference.  Inflatable advertising is unique and instantly grabs attention.  Giant inflatables such as inflatable characters and inflatable product replicas draw crowds at festivals, events and tradeshows. Custom event tents and inflatable arches are also popular ways to ensure your brand gets noticed, especially at crowded events.

Let’s take a look at some ways you can use giant inflatables to reinforce brand recognition.

They Sky’s the Limit!

Placing giant inflatables such as inflatable characters and inflatable product replicas on the roof of your building is a sure way to turn heads. Inflatable Design Works can design customized giant inflatables that can be anchored on the roof of a stand-alone building, shopping plaza or warehouse.

Work Your Mascot

You’ve spent a lot of time and resources creating a mascot, so why not utilize your mascot to its fullest potential? Inflatable characters are always a hit, especially at schools, sporting events and festivals.  We can turn your mascot into a powerful inflatable advertising tool.

Surprise Attendees

Businesses are embracing the benefits of inflatable advertising.  We continue to see increased demands for giant inflatables, including inflatable product replicas, inflatable arches and inflatable characters.

Let’s take a look at what makes inflatable advertising so attractive to business owners.

Inexpensive

The cost of traditional advertising such as radio and television commercials and print ads has skyrocketed.  Small businesses especially have a difficult time justifying the costs of traditional advertising and are constantly seeking new avenues to reach potential customers.  As a result, many are turning to inflatable advertising.  Giant inflatables, inflatable arches, inflatable product replicas and inflatable characters are just a few of the inflatable marketing products that make a lasting impression. Best of all, they are affordable, easy to set up and take down, are portable, and can be used over and over again.

Less Saturation

Television, print and radio has become extremely saturated, making it more and more difficult for advertisers to get noticed.  Streaming, hundreds of cable channels and the internet all have numerous advertisers competing for audience attention.  Inflatable advertising, on the otherhand, stands out in the crowd and helps businesses get noticed at events, trade shows and even by those who are passing by a storefront.

No Fast-Forward

The use of DVRs and streaming services has increased significantly over the years.  One aspect that makes them so attractive is the ability to fast forward through commercials.  While this may be great for viewers, advertisers are literally throwing ad dollars down the drain when their commercial is skipped. On the contrary, inflatable product replicas, inflatable characters and other types of giant inflatables actually draw attention.

Inflatable Product Replicas
