Top 5 Ways to Use Inflatable Replicas to Boost Sales

Put a 15-foot inflatable can of cold brew in your parking lot and people will slow down, snap photos, and tag you in their Instagram stories before they even try your product.  That is the power of an inflatable replica.  At Boulder Blimp Co, we have seen how these oversized showstoppers can turn heads and drive sales.  Here are five proven ways to use custom inflatable replicas to get people talking.. and buying.

1. Better Than Billboards

Traditional signage works but if you are looking to stand out at a busy trade show or storefront, an inflatable version of your product takes things to the next level.  We have made everything from inflatable toothpaste tubes for dental offices to a towering bottle of a local brew.  These 3D replicas don’t just advertise, they create a photo-worthy moment that draws people in and keeps your brand top of mind.

2. Launch a New Product in a HUGE Way

Nothing says “try our new product” quite like a giant inflatable version of it towering over consumers. Launching a new sparkling water?  Why not go all in with a 10-foot inflatable can out in front of your storefront?  Inflatable replicas make your launch impossible to ignore and help create buzz on social media and in-store.

3. Pull People Into Your Booth At Events

Trade shows are a se of the same thing.  Tablecloths, banners, and overwhelmed salespeople.  Break up the monotony and stand out from competitors with an inflatable product replica that towers over the crowd.  We made a massive inflatable replica of Famous Dave’s iconic mascot that helped them stand out and become the destination booth at many events.  Inflatable product and mascot replicas give people a reason to stop, snap a pic, and see what your company has to offer.

4. Mark Your Territory at Outdoor Events

Food festivals, fun runs, and street fairs are the perfect place to make a big impression.  We created a larger-than-life inflatable strawberry for the Watsonville Strawberry Festival that became the unofficial meet-up spot and photo op of the event.  Not only did it reinforce branding, it pulled attendees right to the vendor booths.  Whether it is a fruit, a burger, or a burrito, we can help blow it up to boost foot traffic and sales.

5. Reinforce Brand Recognition with Every Pop-Up

Inflatable replicas can be part of your long-term brand strategy.  Set them up outside retail locations, at sponsorship events, or during pop-up activations.  We have worked with brands like Panda Express to create inflatable mascots that draw crowds and reinforce brand familiarity with every event.  Our inflatables also roll up small, so you can take them on the road easily.
