Football season is starting, this is a great time to show off your custom giant inflatable.

 The excitement is exploding as football is coming soon to a start. In less than 20 weeks the whistle will blow and the 2014 NFL season will come to a start. Everyone is getting ready, whether its the players in their training camp, the coaches and their endless hours of film or the fans with their apparel supporting their team of choice. However, the excitement doesn't fully go to the NFL, there are many kids preparing for their high school season as spring football is starting soon. Of course, not to be forgotten, the NCAA, college football as they never take a day off preparing for the long awaited Game-Day. When the pads come on, the prayer and pump up are said and finally the amazing feeling of running out of the incredibly designed 10-foot tall, 20-feet long inflatable tunnel leading on to the home field shun on by the unforgettable Friday, Saturday, Thursday, Monday or Sunday night lights.

We at IDG could not be more excited! With a new season, new apparel, new uniforms, new everything, we have to stay updated. We are more than ready to tackle anything in our path, with an amazing design team and many eyes watching every single one of our products, we only deliver the best. We want every player who is giving their all on the field, the weight room and even the film sessions that we are doing our best as well. We are carefully designing the giant inflatable tunnel, logo, helmet or entryway to the very specifications given. With many option plays to go with to enter the field on that long-awaited Game day, no one can go wrong. Our Giant inflatable tunnels are designed with the very own team logo and name given, to represent the team in an unforgettable way as the step on the field under the bright-shining lights led by the roar of the home crowd supporting them in every step they take. The enormous 15 feet tall, 18 feet long Inflatable Helmets are great way to show the other team that you mean business, that your linemen are ready to give it all as they fight in the trenches and your backs are pumped, ready and hungry to represent their team with all that they have.

When it comes to making an unforgettable entrance and striking fear in the opponent even before the whistle is blown, there is no better way to do it than a Giant Inflatable Entryway, ranging from 30-45 feet long and standing proudly 20-25 feet tall, bearing the very mascot that represents the team on the top of the tunnel, always made to the very specifications given. It is nearly unforgettable for the players, as it is for our team here at IDG, when they step on the field through a giant helmet with their team beautifully represented on the Inflatable ready to hit the Friday night lights. Or even when the NFL playoffs start by the team running in through an enormous tunnel with the mascot on top breathing smoke on to the field and lighting up sparks as the captains step on the field.

Many NFL, NCAA and High School teams choose our professional team here at Inflatable Design Group, because we give it all we have and then more, from the Pre-Season to the final whistle, to represent your team with nothing but the best product available.

Small businesses can always use a promotional boost, and using a giant inflatable to achieve this is one of many ways. Since there are so many different kinds of giant inflatables and ways to use a giant inflatable, what are some ways a small business owner can effectively promote their company with inflatables? In today’s post, we’ll try to help you come up with some ideas for using inflatables to promote your business. 

Giant Inflatable Food Promotion

Using a giant inflatable that looks like food to promote food seems to be fairly common these days. Many restaurants have large versions of their food hoisted on top of their businesses or tied down out front. Why would anyone want to use a giant inflatable for food promotion, anyway? Isn’t food so desirable that you don’t need to convince people they should eat? Well, the fact of the matter is that there are many different food services out there all competing for a place in your stomach. Getting a giant inflatable to promote your food may be what gives you an advertising edge. 

Inflatable Manufacturer – Repairs and Maintenance

 

 Like many things, inflatables are not indestructible, no matter how cool they look or how well they are designed. An important aspect of looking for an inflatable manufacturer is whether or not they have services related to repair, maintenance, and storage. While we at Inflatable Design Group aren’t going to give you up-front details about these services on our main web page, we are more than happy to talk about handling your giant inflatables. 

Custom Inflatables - Product Replicas

As you may know by now, there are more than a dozen ways for you to promote your business using custom inflatables. A really fun way to do this is with product replicas. If you can’t already tell, product replicas are essentially custom inflatables that look like the product your company sells to consumers. The numbers of types these are limited only by what your company has to offer to people. This is the sort of thing where you want to let your imagination soar. 

Inflatable Animal – The Union Rat

Over at the main website for Inflatable Design Group, we offer many different kinds of inflatables, including an inflatable animal collection. In this catalog, we feature a few different animals. There is one inflatable animal that has a tendency to stick out and draw questions. 

The inflatable animal that sticks out to some is the union rat inflatable. We’ve been asked why it’s called that and what it is used for, considering it doesn’t look very pleasing to children who generally like animal inflatables. In today’s post, we’ll discuss what the union rat is, where it comes from, and what it is used for. 

To start, the union rat is an inflatable animal that is in the shape of a giant rat. The design of this inflatable animal is not such that it will be pleasant to look it. It is generally grotesque to look at because it is used to draw lots of attention and immediate reactions. 

 People who are a part of trade unions use the union inflatable rat when they start protests and strikes against their employers or nonunion contractors, which are commonly referred to as rats. The inflatable rat is sometimes called Scabby the Rat. This is in reference to strikebreakers, who are often called scabs. 

Strikebreakers are people who work for a company during a strike against the company to keep it running. To be considered a scab, you can either be hired during the strike, or you are a strikebreaker who stops striking and crosses the picket line. 

There’s not much more to the tale of the union rat inflatable animal. They have been used for years, with accounts dating back to 1991. They may be unsightly, but they are effective enough for people to want to keep using them. 

We at Inflatable Design Group won’t get involved in the politics of your picket, but if you are looking for this type of inflatable animal, we can deliver on the goods. If you want it to look more grotesque than what we feature on our website, you can always get a custom quote from us. Our team of designers can handle anything. 

This concludes our post about the inflatable animal known as the union rat. If you have had experience with some inflatable that you’d like to share, feel free to comment in the comment section below. If you’re interested in a union rat inflatable, check out our main web page for more information about getting this inflatable animal.

Inflatable For Sale - Children’s Safety

Children’s safety should always come first when considering buying anything for them, including an inflatable for sale. Inflatables are a huge hit for children of all ages. They might enjoy giant inflatable animals. Giant inflatable water slides are also tons of fun for children. A question you should ask yourself when looking for inflatables for kids is whether or not the inflatable for sale is safe. 

 In this post, we’ll talk about different kinds of giant inflatables that may appeal to children. We’ll discuss whether we think any of them might have any safety issues for children. 

One kind of inflatable for sale for children are inflatable bounces. On the surface, these kinds of giant inflatables seem very harmless to children. The fact that they are designed to support the weight of many bouncing children shows how soft these things are. 

However, what might be overlooked is the fact that the actual danger comes from the fact that too many children might use one at the same time. While the bounce itself is fairly safe, how it is used can prove dangerous. Many children bouncing around in a room could potentially bounce into each other, which could end up causing them harm. When looking for a bounce inflatable for sale, keep in mind that you will have to keep an eye on the children for their safety. 

Another kind of inflatable for sale worth mentioning is slides. Kids love slides of all types. Giant inflatable slides are certainly no exception to the rule. There are many different designs of inflatable slides for children to play on. Like inflatable bounces, these are very safe on the surface. What it really comes down to is supervision of children. 

For dry slides, it’s important to make sure that children are taking their turns going down the slide. It’s possible for injury to occur to children who bump too fast into each other. This also applies to inflatable water slides, especially since water will make children slide faster. Another important aspect of water slides is the water part. It’s technically possible to drown on less than a handful of water. Make sure that children on an inflatable water slide are big enough not to need to worry about them getting water in their lungs, somehow. 

As always, supervision is key to the safety of the children. Keep this in mind when looking for an inflatable for sale for children. If you have any advice about inflatable safety, please leave a comment in the comment section below.

Picking An Inflatable Manufacturer

 

Companies of different types and sizes frequently need to use inflatables in their brick-and-mortar store promotional efforts. However, not all inflatable manufacturers are made equally. There are important factors you should consider before you head out to find the best inflatable manufacturer for your needs. 

Before going to find a good inflatable manufacturer, make sure that you know exactly what you need. If you are trying to get an inflatable for your company, you should discuss the specifics of the inflatable project with your team first. Once you’ve decided exactly what you are looking for, then you can start your search for an inflatable manufacturer. 

Your search for a good company that produces inflatables might yield many different results, depending on the specifics you decided upon earlier. If you’re looking for something for a large community event, you might be looking for an arch, entryway, or even a gigantic inflatable obstacle course. If you need something for a large party, it can be fun to have inflatables that look like beverages to signify the beverage area of the party. Another great use is for inflatable advertising. 

While perusing different websites or catalogs you might notice that the inflatable manufacturer might not have exactly what you are looking for. Perhaps you needed one type of sports ball giant inflatable, but it’s the wrong color or the wrong ball. Or maybe an archway doesn’t have the correct adornments. Either way, it’s important to also look for a custom inflatable manufacturer for your specific needs. 

When looking for an inflatable manufacturer, make sure you find one that offers custom inflatables, has a wide variety of inflatable types, and also has multiple pictures of projects they’ve done in the past, as well as inflatables they currently have up for sale. Sometimes, you might need to check what kind of material they are using to make their inflatables. Last, but not least, it’s important to compare prices and delivery times from different competitors. 

We at Inflatable Design Group have a wide offering of inflatables for any occasion. While you’re looking for the right match, feel free to check out our main website to see if we can help you get what you are looking for. We like to think we’re the best inflatable manufacturer out there, but, at the same time, we think it’s important for customers to be fully informed. If you have any comments about this topic, please let us know below.

Using A Giant Inflatable For Fun

When it comes to designing a giant inflatable, Inflatable Design Group sure has done a lot of the advertising variety. While inflatables made just for the purpose of advertising are important to many people, the focus of today’s post is all about giant inflatables for fun. What I mean by this are the kinds of inflatables that are meant for entertainment purposes, such as an inflatable slide for children’s parties. 

 If you have a child whose birthday is coming up, why not make it an extra special occasion? Kids go crazy over inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and interactive bouncing rooms. And there’s nothing wrong with making all of the other parents jealous when their kids tell them how much fun they had at your child’s party. When it comes to birthdays, nothing says “Party!” like a giant inflatable slide with a big red racing car on it. 

Birthdays are just one type of event where a giant inflatable, fun-filled time can be had by all. Sporting events are another great place to display a giant inflatable. Now, I’m not saying it would be appropriate to sit a big bouncing room in a football field. Rather, I’m talking about having a custom-built, giant inflatable entryway for a sports team about to enter the field. 

Giant inflatable arches and entryways can be used in a plethora of events beyond sports gigs. Local carnivals, charities, church youth get-togethers, and many other kinds of community get-togethers can all benefit from having a giant inflatable entryway. Think about how inviting a giant arch with bright colored patches and the word “Welcome!” would be to a local cook-off. 

Some types of fun inflatables go way beyond what you’d expect. Some events are so big that they require inflatables that are actually fitting to the immensity of the occasion by their very size and scope. I’m talking about humongous inflatable obstacle courses. We’ve done a few ourselves, including our record breaking Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Intergalactic Encounter, which is the world’s largest inflatable structure. You can check it out at our main website. 

At the end of the day, you can use a giant inflatable for just about any occasion beyond advertising purposes. We’ve done tons for various types of events, so we’ve got the experience, we know. For your next event, feel free to hit us up for a custom design. If you have a story in which you used a giant inflatable for fun, feel free to leave us a comment below telling us how it went.

When to Get Custom Inflatables

 

Although there is such a wide variety of inflatable types and many different reasons someone might get inflatables, some people may find that they need to get custom inflatables for their special needs. In today’s post, I will discuss who might need custom inflatables and when they should plan on getting them. 

 I think it’s important to start this post by looking at who might need to get custom inflatables. There are many answers to this question. Small businesses might need to get custom inflatables for their promotional needs. Individual people might need the services of a company who does custom inflatables. It really depends on the situation. 

Perhaps a local car dealership needs an advertisement to get people’s attention as they drive by. Sure, they could get 1 of many car logos inflated for them. However, that doesn’t really set them apart from the vast number of car dealerships out there. In such a scenario, it might be prudent to have custom inflatables tailored just for them, such as the logo of their business. 

Custom inflatables might be good for small businesses, but they are also good for individual people. They could be used for birthday parties, special community events, or even fundraisers. One example could be someone putting together a going away party for a loved one. 

Let’s say a couple has a daughter who has just graduated from high school and now she is headed off to college. They want to throw a big going away party for their daughter. They want a giant inflatable featuring their daughter’s favorite animal, a bright pink pony. In this scenario, it’s possible that this couple is unable to find a pre-made pony. 

They might have to order a custom-made pink pony inflatable for their daughter’s party. They would have to find a company that does that kind of work, or face what they think might be a lackluster party for their special daughter. 

Our company, Inflatable Design Group, does, in fact, own a large variety of customer-designed inflatables in our repertoire. We’ve done custom inflatables for a variety of occasions and reasons. If you’re here because you need help finding something for your inflatable needs, check out our website. If anything, you can contact us to get a quote. 

Beyond that, we’d like to hear from our readership if they have any stories regarding custom inflatables. If you have any comments or ideas about custom inflatables, please share your thoughts below in the comments section.

Different Inflatable Design Types and Their Uses

 

You may be looking for some type of inflatable design to make eyes pop at an event you are hosting. You might have seen different inflatable design types that other people are using in different kinds of situations. To help you make a decision on the type of inflatable design you need, let’s explore some of the various types of giant inflatables out there. 

One of the most powerful kinds of giant inflatable pieces are inflatables used for brick-and-mortar advertisements. There’s a wide variety of this type of inflatable that can have a huge impact on how people perceive a business. 

There’s a smaller type that can be used in a smaller, closed space environment known as sealed point-of-purchase inflatables. These pieces aren’t so large that they need to be tethered to the ground. Examples of this inflatable design include giant cans of soda, beer bottles, or even huge yogurt cups. 

 Another inflatable design for advertising includes giant logos. These can be so big that they require being tied down into place. This kind of inflatable is perfect for a store to be noticed by people who are passing by. What’s a better way to get noticed than a custom, brightly colored inflatable billboard with your logo on it? 

Yet another kind of inflatable design you can find are ones related to fun events that typically involve children. This category includes things such as inflatable bounces, obstacle courses, and even inflatable pavilions to cool you off on a hot summer day. You can’t go wrong with the kids with a bright blue inflatable beach style water slide, complete with a palm tree. Nothing says summer like the sound of screaming kids getting soaked, running around, and having a blast. 

The last kind of inflatable design for discussion in this post includes sports inflatables. Essentially, sports inflatables are used at sporting events. For example, some football teams might include a special entryway for their team to enter the field. Imagine your favorite team running out of a vapor filled tunnel that is designed with their colors and mascot on display. 

There are many inflatable design types out there for various needs. If you need a customer inflatable design, Inflatable Design Group is always available to give you a quote. Feel free to check out what we have. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please leave a comment in the comment section below.

The Use Of Different Outdoor Inflatables

Outdoor inflatables are probably the best kind of inflatables you can buy. The reason I say this is because outdoor inflatables are the largest, most visible, and most useful. However, I must qualify what I’m talking about when I talk about outdoor inflatables. The fact of the matter is that many giant inflatables just happen to be the kind used in an outdoor setting. 

The first kind of outdoor inflatables worth mentioning are the ones you get when you want to advertise for a business. Common examples of this are car dealerships using giant inflatables ads, especially when they are doing large promotional events. Using giant outdoor inflatables is one of the best ways to attract the eyes of would-be customers. 

Typically, you will see a car dealership lot set up a huge inflatable sign that draws the attention of people passing by. After all, it is hard to miss a gigantic sign that is brightly colored sticking up from among short buildings. They also can use outdoor inflatables that feature their mascot or even a car logo. For branding purposes, it’s probably best to have a custom made inflatable with the company’s name, logo, or both. 



Outdoor inflatables also include those used by people for recreational purposes. One recreational use of outdoor inflatables could be a child’s birthday party. This is especially appealing to younger kids who want to invite all their school friends to their birthday party. An example of this could be getting an inflatable bounce room featuring the child’s favorite cartoon characters. Imagine how popular your child would be if his birthday party boasted a Snoopy bounce room?

If you’re looking for outdoor inflatables on a larger scale, you can look at giant interactive obstacles courses. At the Inflatable Design Group main website, you can see a few examples of what you can get in terms of these humongous interactive inflatables. They don’t come cheap, by any means, but they are the type of thing to draw attention and keep people entertained. Not only that, but people will have fond memories of hopping into the gaping maw of a giant lizard. 

At any rate, this wraps up our current post on outdoor inflatables. Like always, we hope our readership will check out our main website. Other than that, we hope that if you have any questions, concerns, or comments that you would leave them below in the comment section.

Who Would Want A Giant Inflatable Animal

 

An inflatable animal can be used for more than just fun. As has been discussed in other posts, inflatables can be used for fun, as well as business promotional efforts. In this post, I want to twist things around just a little bit. Instead of talking about how custom giant inflatables can be used for fun, I’m going to talk about how an inflatable animal can be used for more than just for fun. 

Usually, when people think about an inflatable animal they think about the various fun situations in which they can be found. An example of this could be at carnivals, or even children’s birthday parties. It’s no secret that children are not only fascinated by large brightly colored inflatables, but they also tend to be enthralled with animals. This is especially true about cartoon animals. A birthday party featuring a giant inflatable animal, such as Curious George the monkey, would sure to be a popular with children. 

Another take on the use of inflatable animal pieces could be for advertising purposes. Even though you might expect to see an inflatable animal at a children’s event, it’s also possible to see an inflatable animal being used to advertise for a store. A possible example of this could be a pet shop with a giant inflatable puppy tethered outside of the store. An even better idea would be to feature a couple different giant inflatable animals to peak the interest in people with different tastes in pets. 

A third option for getting an inflatable animal would be neither for parties nor stores. A giant inflatable animal could potentially be used in a parade. It could be tied down to a parade float to liven up annual events. Think of it as being similar to how parades sometimes use balloons shaped like different animals or cartoon characters. 

When looking for an inflatable animal for whatever occasion, it’s important to make sure you can get the one you want. There are many inflatable companies that offer animals in their catalogs, but you might not always find what you are looking for. Finding a company that offers custom made inflatables would be the best course of action in such a scenario. 

Here at Inflatable Design Group we have an animal inflatable collection, should you wish to peruse it at our main website. We also offer custom quotes for custom jobs. If you have any comments, concerns, or questions feel free to leave them in the comment section below.
