Eye-catching cold-air inflatables and dancing tube men that stop traffic. Custom shapes, mascots, holiday themes — no helium required.
Why Our Blimps Use Less Helium — and Work Better
Almost every imported blimp is made from PVC — a material that leaks helium rapidly and degrades in UV light. Our blimps use the same polyurethane technology originally developed for NASA, and the performance difference is dramatic.
A 13-foot polyurethane blimp outperforms a 20-foot PVC blimp while using just a fraction of the helium. That difference is what makes short-term rentals profitable — something competitors simply can’t offer.
Under 1% Helium Loss Per Day
PVC blimps lose 3–5% of helium daily. Ours lose less than 1%, staying airborne far longer between costly refills.
UV-Resistant, Vibrant Colors
Polyurethane holds bright color in direct sun and outdoor exposure far longer than PVC alternatives.
Made in the USA — Glendale, Arizona
Every blimp is manufactured at our Glendale, AZ facility. Faster delivery, tighter quality, no import surprises.

How Blimp Advertising Compares
Outdoor advertising consistently outperforms digital for local brand awareness — and blimps add the unmissable, sky-high factor that billboards simply can’t match.
Sources: industry CPM averages; billboard ROI data from Signs.com (40% vs 38% digital). Brand recall estimates based on outdoor advertising industry research. Blimp CPM varies by size, location, and duration.
Industries That Rely on Blimp Advertising
A blimp over a new home community is visible from the freeway and surrounding neighborhoods — leading drive-by buyers straight to your model home. Used by Pulte Homes, D.R. Horton, and hundreds of developers nationwide.
Car dealerships have used advertising blimps for decades to draw weekend traffic. Nothing says “BIG SALE” like a giant blimp floating over your lot — visible to every driver on the frontage road.
Stand out in a crowded convention parking lot or festival field. A custom blimp with your logo floats above competing booths, directing foot traffic straight to you.
Grand openings, liquidation sales, restaurant launches — a blimp creates urgency and excitement that static signage never can. It creates the buzz that brings people in the door today.
Our polyurethane technology is trusted by NASA, JPL, the U.S. Navy, ASU, and NIH for surveillance, research, and specialty tethered aerostat applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
Holiday-themed inflatables and character balloons for Christmas sales events, sporting events, college homecoming, and patriotic displays. Custom shapes and mascots — any occasion.

Everything You Need to Know
Common questions about advertising blimps, helium costs, visibility, customization, and ordering.
Our most popular 13-foot blimp starts at $860 to purchase, and our 15-foot model starts at $1,110. Short-term rentals are also available — pricing depends on size, duration, and delivery location. Call 1-800-791-1445 for a personalized quote. Because our polyurethane blimps use far less helium than PVC alternatives, even short-term rentals are cost-effective — something many competitors can’t offer.
It depends on blimp size and tether height. A 13-foot blimp at 100 feet is typically visible 1–2 miles in a suburban environment. Our largest 25–30-foot blimps can be seen from up to 4 miles in open terrain. Use the Visibility Range Calculator above to estimate your specific setup.
Polyurethane blimps lose less than 1% of helium per day versus 3–5% for PVC. Our 13-foot polyurethane blimp outperforms a 20-foot PVC blimp while using a fraction of the helium — dramatically lowering ongoing costs. Polyurethane is also more durable, UV-resistant, and PVC is classified as a known carcinogen. Our blimps use material originally developed for NASA.
Our 13-foot blimp requires approximately 170 cubic feet for the initial fill. The 30-foot blimp requires about 1,510 cubic feet. Because our polyurethane retains helium so well (under 1% loss per day), top-off costs are minimal. Use our Helium Savings Calculator to see exactly what you’d spend vs. a PVC alternative.
Absolutely — full customization is our specialty. Choose from seven standard body colors at no extra charge, with custom colors also available. We can replicate virtually any logo, slogan, or artwork. Larger blimps can also have hanging vertical banners. Send us your artwork and we handle the rest.
Our helium advertising blimps are typically tethered between 60 and 120 feet above ground, with 100 feet recommended for optimal visibility and stable airflow. All tethered blimps comply with FAA regulations for tethered balloon operations. We’ll walk you through any local permitting requirements when you order.
Yes — we ship to all 50 states from our Glendale, Arizona manufacturing facility. Because everything is made in-house in the USA, lead times are faster and quality is tighter than imported alternatives. Call 1-800-791-1445 or email sales@advertisingblimps.com to get started.
