Everybody says large. Here are the actual numbers, and what they mean once the thing is standing on your forecourt.
The small end is bigger than you think
A 4.5-foot sphere is about the height of a child, and a 10-foot blimp is longer than a car. Those are our two smallest products.
People routinely order up because the numbers sound modest on a page. Measure ten feet on your own forecourt before deciding it is not enough.
The middle is where most people land
The 13-foot blimp at $975 blank and the 5.5-foot sphere at $351 are the two most common orders, and for good reason.
The 13-foot carries readable lettering to about 500 feet, fills on 170 cubic feet of helium, and one person can handle it. It suits most retail on a normal road.
The large end has real consequences
A 30-foot blimp is $6,772 blank and takes 1,510 cubic feet of helium, which is over seven cylinders and more than two thousand dollars every time you fill it.
It is a genuinely large object to handle, store and anchor. Worth it on highway frontage with a long approach; a poor decision anywhere else.
Choose by distance, not by adjective
Forty times the letter height is the rough reading rule. Ten-inch letters read at about 330 feet, eighteen-inch at about 600.
Pace out the distance from where you want to be noticed. That number picks the size, and it is the only method that does not end in regret.
