Inflatable advertising, a unique, inexpensive, and surefire way of getting higher brand visibility, is rapidly changing the advertising game.
Inflatable advertising involves unique and attractive made-to-order air-filled structures called custom inflatables. They come in all shapes and sizes and are perfect for any business.
Their effectiveness, affordability, and versatility have made them a top choice for marketers and business owners.
At trade shows, charity events, or seminars, inflatable advertising pulls crowds to you, which raises your brand’s awareness and visibility.

#1: Inflatable Arches
Custom inflatable arches are powerful visuals that create a massive impression of your brand at a fundraiser, trade show, or tournament.
They’re incredibly versatile and can be used for different events all-year-round for higher visibility, particularly when paired with Custom Advertising Flag Banners, as shown below.
Important Features of Custom Inflatable Arches
- Varying shapes - Standard inflatable arches are typically rounded, angled, or squared, but they can also be designed in different custom shapes depending on your needs.
- Easy to set up - Inflate in just a few minutes!
- Different material options - Made using either denier polyester or PVC. Both materials are high quality and rated for outdoor use, but PVC is more durable.
- Unlimited colors and design - Print whatever you want, wherever you want!
How Custom Inflatable Arches Compare with Other Advertising Inflatables
- Operation - many inflatable arches are constant-air, meaning they must have a continuous power source to remain inflated, like an outlet or portable generator. However,
- They may have quicker production - With custom shape inflatables, it might take longer to prepare and fabricate the item. Arches are so commonplace with set templates, so the turnaround time might be shorter.
#2: Inflatable Bottles and Cans
Custom inflatable bottles and cans are ideal choices to easily win your audience's attention and gain maximum brand exposure in the beverage or drink industry.
They can be used both indoors and outdoors and are super lightweight, allowing you to transport and set them up anywhere.

- Lightweight - Since these are smaller than most inflatable mascots and arches, these are incredibly lightweight and easy to pack up & transport between events.
#3: Custom Inflatable Mascots
Erecting a custom inflatable mascot at a trade show or business event is an excellent way to draw crowds to your advertising booth.
As people take photos with your branded mascot and post them online, you’ll get free advertisement for your brand through user-generated content (UGC).
Important Features of Custom Inflatable Mascots

Advantages and Benefits of Inflatable Advertising
Large Visual Impact
Unlike most signage options like conventional billboards that are one dimensional, inflatables are legible and visible from all angles.
Custom inflatable advertising helps you achieve maximum visual exposure and gain invaluable attention.
Because of their uniqueness and photographic lure, the inflatables stand out from the crowd and increase foot traffic, resulting in increased sales.
Increased Brand Recognition
Advertising inflatables are usable in areas where other outdoor ads aren’t, like on water. This enables you to promote your brand in unique spots and grab everyone’s attention.
Given its intriguing color and designs, prospective clients will instantly recognize an inflatable mascot or arch, whether from afar or nearby. It’s difficult to ignore such kind of advertising, and that will make you stand out from competitors.
Cost-Effective Marketing
Compared to fixed advertising banners or billboards, inflatables are more affordable.
Their multidimensional nature makes them highly effective and reusable while costing as little as $1,000.
Moreover, custom inflatables are highly durable and will serve you for years, offering an impressive return on investment.
Price Range for Custom Advertising Inflatables
Custom advertising inflatables cost between $1,000 and $20,000, depending on your specific needs and preference.
The pricing varies depending on the:
- Inflatable's size
- Complexity of the design
- Method of inflation
- Material used
For instance, a basic rounded inflatable arch will start at $1,500, while a more personalized shape, say, a 3D replica of your brand’s logo, could cost $5,000 or more.
Fortunately, all our inflatables are highly durable and reusable. They’re made with durable materials that can withstand regular indoor and outdoor use, making them a one-time investment for lifetime profitability.

Does the Material of My Inflatable Really Matter?
Yes. Your inflatable’s material will determine its durability and appearance.
Poor-quality material like vinyl might cause your inflatable to deflate abruptly in the middle of your event.
The best materials are highly durable and weatherproof to withstand harsh weather like rain, hot sun, and snow.
At MVP Visuals, we never compromise on quality. Our custom inflatables are made with durable denier polyester or PVC tarpaulin to ensure that regardless of your material choice, your product will last long to give you a lifetime of service.
