Incorporating custom inflatables into your product launches can significantly enhance your brand visibility, creating opportunities for ongoing customer engagement. Utilizing an inflatable prop as a visual aid for your new product not only enhances the overall appeal of your brand but also provides a unique chance to leave a memorable impression.
Why Choose Custom Inflatables for Product Launches?
New products can reignite customer interest, so rolling them out in style can help boost your marketing campaign. Beyond their high visibility and attention-grabbing appeal, our custom inflatables can significantly enhance brand recognition and recall as well. Product launches provide an excellent opportunity to engage with potential clients, especially when distributing samples. People love receiving free items, and having a giant inflatable prop can help make your brand unforgettable.
The Versatility in design and application of our inflatables makes them an invaluable addition to your marketing campaign, thanks to their effortless setup. Many of our custom inflatables, particularly those under 30 feet, are easy to inflate and set up with just 1-3 people. We prioritize usability and convenience in our manufacturing process, allowing for quick and easy deployment in any location. Additionally, our inflatables can be secured with strategically placed anchor points, ensuring stability. In the photo below, you can see Bloom Superfoods bottles suspended inside a convention center booth at a health expo.
Employing an inflatable prop for product launches offers a cost-effective advertising solution compared to traditional methods. In today's social media-driven world, there's no need to invest heavily in expensive billboards or online ads. Viral content can emerge unexpectedly, and a giant inflatable replica can significantly boost your chances of achieving that viral success.
Engaging and interactive elements in our designs ensure that our inflatables are truly bespoke on many levels. For instance, we can incorporate custom features such as visual enhancements or structural modifications. These can include unique additions like tunnels or transparent sections that provide a clear view of the inflatable's interior, creating novel ways for people to interact with the structure. Elevating the inflatable to allow people to walk underneath it can also amaze onlookers with its impressive scale.
Types of Custom Inflatables for Product Launches
Giant Product Replicas
Inflatable bottles are very popular for new beverage launches. As with most beverage companies, many are often producing new flavors that are in need of promotion. That's where our inflatable drink replicas come in! Since we manufacture all our custom inflatables in-house, we can make them as big as you want. Our giant inflatable replicas can be made as large as 50 feet like the massive cranberry you see in the image above. Huge inflatables create a memorable visual impact that can help people remember your brand.
Mascots and Characters
In the past, we’ve created some impressive custom inflatable characters, such as this 30-foot Nike Martian. Commissioned for an Airmax shoe promotion, this inflatable mascot showcases the impact of large-scale inflatables. Its towering size ensures visibility from a distance, making it an unmissable presence at any event. This 30-foot giant exudes charisma and uniqueness on multiple levels, captivating audiences effortlessly. Events featuring such distinctive inflatables significantly enhance brand personality and foster customer engagement.
Interactive Inflatables
Football fanatics of all ages will be thrilled to know that we can create giant interactive football games, reminiscent of carnival attractions. These inflatables allow participants to throw or practice kicking the ball, providing an engaging and fun experience. Inflatable courses or games themed around a new product offer an excellent opportunity to interact with potential customers. This type of inflatable delivers a hands-on experience that entertains attendees and fosters memorable brand interactions. We can also make interactive inflatables for soccer and basketball, as well as bowling and inflatable horse shoe toss.
Sealed/Airtight Models
We manufacture our inflatables in multiple styles, including sealed inflatables, also known as airtight inflatable models. These airtight inflatables are constructed with two layers: an exterior printed shell and an interior air bladder. While the internal component is airtight, the exterior cover is not. By combining these two layers, we create durable airtight product replicas in various shapes. Additionally, airtight inflatables have the advantage of not requiring constant inflation, unlike most other inflatable products we produce. This benefit is particularly useful when setting up in remote areas without power sources. If needed, small generators can be used for both styles of inflatables, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
