It’s no secret that advertising inflatables are an extremely effective way to promote your business. If you’re just getting started with inflatables, what direction should you take? For many businesses, sealed inflatables prove an ideal starting point. They are typically smaller in scale, and don’t require special equipment. They can be assembled in minutes and displayed virtually anywhere you like.
Sealed inflatables are appropriate for any size and type of business. They’re perfect for small businesses which don’t have the space or a good location for giant inflatables or inflatable costumes, because they are affordable, easy to display, and don’t require any special setup. For larger businesses, inflatables can still prove a valuable investment, acting as a well-designed complement to larger inflatables. Or, as part of a larger suite of advertising materials.
To further demonstrate the versatility and promotion potential that these unique promotional tools can offer, here are just 9 creative ideas for using inflatables to promote your business.
1. Offer up a creative POP display. Sealed inflatables will look cool no matter where you place them. If customers are approaching your register or point of purchase, you’ll have a captive audience to observe your creative display. An inflatable invites attention, and will absolutely bring more attention to your business, especially if displayed in conjunction with your products or advertising materials. For added impact, you can personalize the display for the season or to announce a giveaway. This can be an opportunity to have potential customers explore your products and maybe even sign up for your mailing list, which will increase chances of further interaction with your business at a later date.
2. Display several sealed inflatables overhead in a retail space. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a…super sealed inflatable! By displaying sealed inflatables overhead in a retail space, you’ll create a level of curiosity and a sense of whimsy. Customers will be delighted to encounter such a unique indoor sign, and are bound to inquire further about promoting with your sealed inflatables.
3. Make a replica. Your sealed inflatables offer a fantastic opportunity to develop your branding. For instance, a food truck made a miniature replica of their vehicle as a sealed inflatable. This is an extremely eye-catching way to promote.
For one, if displaying the inflatable away from the operation, it gives customers an idea of what the business is all about, and what to expect. For another, it’s adorable, so it is bound to interest and delight customers and perhaps more importantly, start conversations.
4. Create a mascot. Have you ever considered creating a mascot for your business? If so, sealed inflatables can offer an ideal opportunity to help you capitalize on this unique sector of branding.

Whether it’s a cat wearing your company colors, an anthropomorphic soccer ball, or sealed inflatable of your mascot, this is a truly memorable way to market your business.
5. Create a memorable event tent. It can be exceedingly difficult to grab the eyes of passers-by at large events, whether it’s in an indoor mall, an outdoor concert, or festival. However, a sealed inflatable can give you the advantage. Available in a different sizes, sealed inflatables can be placed outside or on the edge of your event tent to give your business the edge over others.
6. Display a sealed inflatable by an info booth. Information booths are hotbeds of activity at any type of event. If show organizers are willing to entertain the idea, the info booth can be a great place to display advertising inflatables, which provides mutual benefit.
For the show organizers, your inflatable acts as a visual draw and can help customers find the info booth.

If it works for your business, you can consider offering an inflatable as a customer giveaway.

Customers will be more than willing to offer their information for your mailing list for a chance to enter, which can prove invaluable in helping develop your customer base.
