INFLATABLES COMPANY.COM - INFLATE CO INC. is proud to release it’s new built to last heavy duty air dancer. After much testing and research we have developed an air dancer that simply is the best made unit available. Currenly the cost has not increased although the cost to manufacture this unit is 20% higher and takes longer to manufacture.
For a business that needs and air dancer or has been disappointed with a prior purchase of an inferior unit from either overseas of shoddy US manaufactures, we offer unit that outlasts all others and combine it with only the best hardware. The units are made of the best materials available from the yachting industry’s leading materials and thread supplier and the workmanship and method of contruction and art application was developed after months of testing to reduce stress loads where lettering and seam work is done.

They’re 20 FT tall, they move and they are downright silly and that’s why it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t just love them. We’ve been manufacturing these for many years and to this day, are still amazed and just how in your face alive they appear to be. When drive down the street, there is no missing these giant air dancers as they wave and flail their arms and tube man body.
When people call to have one made, often they say they called becuase they saw one on the road to work and figured “That sure got my attention”, so convincing people that they work is never necessary. Really, all a retail advertising shopper is interested in is simply getting a great value on a well made air dancer.
Air Dancers and Fly Guys, often called Sky Dancers, Air Puppets or Wind Dancers, need to be manufactured to withstand the hurricane force beating delivered by 8 hours of continuous high output air flow delivered by these 18″ wide commerical fans. The fans are designed to deliver 3200 cubic feet of air a minute and higher. This is necesarry to lift up the air dancer material. An 18 FT air dancer fabric, using the better, heavier material (1.3 oz ripstop parachute fabric), will weigh from 2 to 2.5 pounds. Even with all that air flow, that is really the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted and yet still allow air to escape out of the head. The head opening is what provides the dancing puppet motion. But this tremendous air flow is like putting a flag in a gale force wind storm day after day and that is why material and construction is so important.
There are some cheap imported air dancers that will blow apart very quickly, often sold by part time resellers, who of course will always claim, as does most all resellers, to be “the factory“. The bottom line is, these are not rocket science, so you have an influx of poorly made units, but due to the requirements of constant motion, weight of marine lettering for artwork and fan output. There is a lot that goes into making a good one. You have to consider weight, air flow, size of opening relative to weight, balance that to acheive a dancing effect and provide just enough back pressure to allow motion without causing it to be stiff or just fall down instead of dance.
It is not necessary to import these, a good unit can be made at a very reasonable cost. One edge we have is that we provide the industry with the majority of the high quality air dancer fabric and that allows us to bring down material costs. 1.3 oz riptsop retails for $12 a yard. Just a foot section of our units are worth more than the entire fabric of the poor quality imported ones.
Our air dancers are sold at wholesale and below wholesale. Even our fans, which of course need to be purchased, are sold at just a tad over cost.
If you are looking to increase your customer traffic at your retail location, if you have a visibility issue or are a new store, this is a very small investment that will pay for itself usually within 10 days and will drive sales from up 10% to a whopping 200%. These numbers can not be acheived by anything other form of advertising, short of hiring the Swedish Bikini VolleyBall team to dance in front of your store and hold banners for you.
No kidding! These will DO the job. I sometimes see people standing on the street or corner dancing and holding a bid wooding sign or arrow and chuckle to myself that I just saw a “human air dancer”. The fact is these will dance all day long and you don’t have to provide them with medical insurance or sick days. For the cost of pennies a day in electricity, a 20 FT giant dancing inflatable man will drive people through your door.
Whether you sell pianos or popsicles, your first order of business each day is to get customers thru your door. This will do it everyday.

Giant rooftop balloons are a great way to get your business and/or promotional event to stand out. Unless it is for a one day event, it always makes more sense to get a well made heavy duty rooftop made here in our California factory as the cost will be only a few hunder more than the cost to rent for one month.
A rooftop balloon does not have to look like the “Carnival” just landed on your rooftop, as so many rental balloons like like they have seen better days. We keep popular multi colors in stock along with patriotic styles and each balloon is made of 08 to 10 oz marine vinly and overbuilt to exceed rental use standards and we only use the “gold standard ” B-Air cold air blowers for 100 percent reliability.
Some companies feel that a balloon does not fit their business image, but you would be surprise how using corporate colors or dark colors along with digital graphics, just how a rooftop can be designed to fit the company image. Even a steak house can create black one with white or gold art painted directly on the front for a clean and high end look. Flank that with a couple black tubes and you have managed to maintain image and yet gain tremendous attention. You can also see on our wholesale factory website hot air balloon page examples of balloons made for a couple companies that clearly matched the business look and branding completely (see the Chili’s Balloon, the Billiards Balloon and the Cal Flame BBQ Rooftop). Another great example is the Quizno’s balloon showing complete use of their company logo and colors.
As usual, I strongly recommend an air tube, air dancer, arrow dancer or Fly Guy to also be used with these as the motion also helps get people to look over see your business and promotion. Also, flying a helium sphere with art on both sides or a full advertising blimp for that matter, to get people to start looking and wondering from 3 miles away and then the placement of a couple wind flags by the curb and maybe put an employee in an EZ UP style vendor tent just outside your door or in the parking lot to hand out promotional information and display product samples and if you have the space, hang a large banner.
You want to make sure you get a well made rooftop inflatable of course. As I always say, there are a lot of poorly made cheap imported versions that won’t last through a good windstorm or more than a few weeks, but cost about the same price as you can get one from us at wholesale.
In stock balloons are available for shipment within 24 hours and customs can be produced in as little as 5 days.
As the economy gets tighter, retailers are looking for smarter ways to advertise and the high ROI (return on investment) with all of our products becomes more obvious during these tight times when every dollar counts and a business needs to get the maxium return possible on their advertising budget.
So next time the yellow page people pop in to charge you $3000+ for a small ad in their book, or someone calls or visits you to spend $2000 to $5000 on a printed media campaign, think about doing things to leverage your location’s visibility and get your message out to all who pass by everyday in their cars. The average lane of traffic carries 5000 cars per lane per day. Take 5000 times 2 lanes times 7 days and you have 70,000 people passing by per week. Each time they look at your balloon with banner and message you just obtained an ad impression. Also, people who travel by are more likely to stop in because you are obviously conveniently located near them or on a route they travel.

Advertising Blimps are without question, the MOST powerful sign a location can use to tell everyone within miles where you are and what you do. Just the other day, I was travelling down a main highway near my home and I saw up ahead, a large tethered advertising blimp with a car dealership’s name on it. As I came closer and the blimp became larger, I could clearly read the name of the dealership.
What was important, is that the dealership is not on the highway I was driving on! It was about 1/8 mile to my left on a side street that I never travel on. I decided to turn left and pulled right in front of the business. I was able to get right to their business easlily and quickly by simply going to the place underneath the blimp. This is a perfect example of just how well they work and that is why they are such tremendous customer magnets.
It is like having a sign the size of a mail truck, flying 10 stories over your business with lettering as large as a tall man of 6 FT. They are
a must have tool
to use for business locations that are off the beaten track. For many buisness owners, they are too much trouble. You have to consider what days the wind will be light enough to safely fly them. You have to decide who is going to be responsible for getting it down if the winds kick up and then you need a couple people to pull it down, deflate it and carefully fold it up and put it away. A business that can handle that and the cost of 2 to 4 tanks of helium when ever they fill it, will see sales often increase 100 to 200 percent.
For other companies, an affordable and low cost solution is a simple 7 or 10 FT helium sphere with art on both sides will solve their visibility problem with a lot less cost and effort. The 7 FT spheres take only 2/3 a tank of helium to fill and are easy to put up and take down. But regardless of wheather you purchase a blimp or a sphere, remember to tie a good knot. A REALLY good knot.
Usuallly these work best with air dancers, a rooftop balloon and 12 FT feather or wind flags. Either one or any combination of them in addition to the helium advertising balloon will get customers to see you, know where you are and what service you offer that they can use.
Using an advertising balloon is a lot like when you were young and dating. You’re not going to get the girl if she doesn’t even notice you. Yes, advertising balloons can be silly. A perfect example is the giant car dealer gorillas, but you know what? Car dealers are masters of marketing and they know very well that whether you sell popscicles or pianos, your first prioriry is getting customers through you door. Without customer, you you have no buiness. Just a rented room with a lot of stuff in it.

EZ Up style vendor tents with logo graphics are a must if you have outdoor events and venues to attend. The branding and buisness image you project with a profession pop up tent with your graphics on top and tag lines, website and telephone numbers on the hanging valances tell everyone you’re a serious business as opposed to a plain tent or inexpensive version from Sam’s Club or similar stores.
Often these tents can run $900 + to start and another $800 for sidewalls and backwalls with art, but they can be found wholesale at www.InflatablesCompany.com or the Vendor Tent page on the same website.
Once priced out of range for the occasional user, a business can now own a 10 x 10 FT vendor tent with full graphics all over the top cover for just $695.00. That is $200 below even discount providers and manufacturers. A customer with a tight budget can purchase the top and frame to keep the cost lower and then add a backwall and even sidewalls later for a same cost.
I often attend events outdoors and I notice that the companies with the plain tents or the store bought versions do not give the impression that they are a serious business. If most business owners realized the cost of a pop up tent with graphics was a direct reflection on their business integrity, I think you would see more of the professional tents.
As the economy gets tighter, people are more careful about parting with their hard earned money. A business owner needs every marketing edge they can gain and this is a must for outdoor event participation.
Other accessories include wind flags (or feather flags) that can be mounted in on or both of the corners at the front and top of the tent. These wind flag attachments pay for themselves quickly as a customer can see your tent and service from over 200 feet away. If you really want to get attention, fly a 7 FT helium sphere with art on both sides 60 to 100+ feet over your tent and they will see you from a mile away.
For wholesale vendor tent prices see this page and if it fits your budget, simply order one online and upload or describe your desired colors and graphics.

Wind flags or feather flags as some call them, are a great way to compliment any of our other advertising balloon products. They basically look like giant feathers that read vertically and stake into the ground right near the traffic lanes in front of a business. These are designed to move gently in a light breeze to catch the attention of all who pass by.
As with all products in our industry, there are well made ones and there are ones that honestly should not be put in front of your location as some are so poorly made and cheap looking that it is a bad reflection on your business. A wind flag can be a very powerful, yet inexpensive way to get out your message, so it is important that your wind flag is a compliment to your location’s identity and not an eye sore.
These can be staked into the ground or using optional mounts, they can be mounted under a car tire, on a wall or on a flat ground surface. See all the flag options and sizes along with the 3 sealed ball bearing free rotating stainless steel/aluminum frames with internal shock cord and steel whip top used to maintain a perfect feather shape so that you can get your message out clearly on a vibrant poly nylon banner.
