Unlike newspaper or digital ads, a helium sphere draws immediate attention from nearby customers while making your business a recognizable local landmark.
Unlike Social Media, TV, radio, and print ads that demand contracts with recurring budgets, helium advertising spheres offer continuous visibility with a one-time investment. They extend your signage beyond your storefront, ensuring local foot traffic sees and remembers your brand every day.
Each helium advertising sphere package includes:
We also sell bulk purchase miniature inflatables for promotional giveaways.
Helium inflatables (Blimps or Spheres) generally take 3 weeks for production & delivery from date of payment, unless it is a Custom Helium Inflatable which could take 4-5 weeks. For non-helium Standard and Custom cold air inflatables (uses electrical Air Blower for constant inflation) these take 4-5 weeks for production & delivery from date of payment.
The pre-production process of concept, design, mock-up, potential changes, and final mock-up approval could take up to 1-2 weeks depending on client needs, and that 1-2 weeks is not included in the overall production & delivery time previously noted.
This is determined by the size and shape of each helium floating inflatable.
To ensure your custom inflatable continues to make a lasting impression at every event, proper storage and maintenance are essential. Our expert designers craft each custom product with durability and quality in mind, but a little care goes a long way in keeping your ad balloon looking vibrant and working perfectly for years to come.
When your event wraps up, always store your custom inflatable in a clean, dry space—away from direct sunlight—to preserve those eye-catching colors and prevent material wear. Using the provided storage bag or a sturdy container will help shield your inflatable from dust, dirt, and accidental damage. For longer-term storage, a climate-controlled environment is ideal to maintain the integrity of your custom inflatable, ensuring it’s ready to stand tall and attract attention at your next event.
Before packing away your custom ad balloon, gently clean it if dirty with a mild soap & water and allow it to dry completely. This simple step helps prevent mold and mildew, so your inflatable is always fresh and ready to inflate. When it’s time to set up again, use the included blower and follow the easy instructions to avoid over-inflation and keep your custom product in top shape.
Our team is dedicated to helping you create unique, fun, and memorable ad balloons that bring your brand to life. Whether you’re planning product launches, trade shows, or community events, following these straightforward storage and maintenance tips will ensure your new branding continues to work perfectly and leave a great impression every time.
At USA Outdoor Media, we guarantee our custom balloons are built to last, using only the highest quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

For art or logo files we appreciate you sending a Vector file, which is normally from a logo generated in Adobe Illustrator, so from that program saving the file in to .ai, .svg, .eps, and .pdf can usually be used to create the mock-up for you.
If your logo was created in another type of program please look for “save as” options into these file formats: .ai, .svg, .eps, and .pdf
If the file is larger than 20mb, please use Wetransfer.com or Dropbox.com to send the file to: usaoutdoormedia@gmail.com
We are not a logo company but can sometimes make minor adjustments to a logo or art file if needed.
USA Outdoor Media offers several types of reusable inflatables. The type of inflatable best for your business or event depends on goals including visibility needs, budget, and production complexity. We do not offer Air Dancer Tube Inflatables as they are not durable.
Helium Inflatables are usually a Blimp or Sphere shape including 2-sided logo…these inflatables are fairly standard in the advertising inflatable industry but not offered by all inflatable companies. Sometimes a Custom shape can be helium floating inflatable but custom shapes are not standardized by virtue of it being “custom” in nature. Helium inflatables are a thinner material (pvc) to be light enough to achieve “lift” when filled with helium. We do not supply helium.
Cold Air Inflatables typically include Custom and Rooftop Ad Balloon shapes. These do not use helium, they use an electrical air blower for constant inflation. The Rooftop Ad Balloons are fairly standardized for size options in the industry which includes the printed Logo or Message banner, and Custom shapes are quoted on a case by case basis. Cold Air Inflatables are typically made with thicker material (vinyl) offering great durability.
Sealed Air Inflatables typically are under 12ft in size, and are filled manually with air (sort of like a Beach ball), are made with thicker pvc material, do not float, and do need manual boosts of air every few days depending on complexity of the design. Air blowers are usually not included with this type of inflatable, but if an event is in a place where there is no electricity this type of inflatable can be a good choice.
This is determined by size and shape of each helium floating inflatable, and how long your event is, but in general a commercial helium inflatable will lose 1-2% helium per day (unlike a party balloon that deflates rapidly), and the inflatable will need a short booster shot of helium about once a week. In warm conditions less helium will be lost, and in cold conditions more helium will need to replaced more often, as helium is a gas and expands in warm conditions. Helium is not flammable.
Best inflatable will depend mainly on length of sale or event, and possibly what the city or landlord will allow. Cities tend to be more lenient on non-helium floating inflatables. If your store needs visibility from a great distance (more than ¼ mile) then a helium floating Blimp or Sphere inflatable floating at 10 stories high is a good option to grab attention from surrounding streets, roads, and freeways. If your store or event is close to a high-traffic street then a cold air Ad Balloon or Custom Shape might be best mounted on the rooftop, and not requiring helium.
Yes, and fast! Your retail or event location will become an instant landmark for passing cars or pedestrians, visible for blocks or miles, depending on the type of inflatable we offer.
Unlike advertising dollars spent on traditional media outlets like Newspaper, TV, Radio, Direct Mail, and Social Media, the Advertising Inflatable on your rooftop or parking lot will continue to drive traffic and sales long after it’s paid for in a few days of use. Branding Exposure will now be pennies on the dollar compared to the other forms of advertising.
We recommend flying/floating the inflatable at 100ft for best airstreams, and best visibility / impact to your surrounding streets and freeways or special event location. At 100ft visibility is about 1 mile in all directions creating impact and traffic for your retail location or special event.
