To promote their launch into the business communications market, Virgin Media asked Imagine to provide and install a number of branded red spheres throughout the UK.

The above photo shows one of the spheres outside the Virgin Media offices in Belfast. This was one of 24 separate locations. Quite a logistical excercise, as all had to be installed on a single day!.. Imagines' team of operators managed the project with spheres showing different slogans delivered to the various locations.

The parents of a student at boarding school wanted to ensure his birthday did not go unnoticed! So they approached Imagine Inflatables to produce a helium filled giant blimp with a suitable message art-worked on the hull! Imagines' operational staff liaised with staff at the school to arrange the installation.

The element of surprise was maintained by commencing the preparation and inflation while the students were in class. As the 'birthday boy' had to walk outside, along with a group of friends - he saw his impressive birthday surprise flying overhead!!..

To highlight the potential perils associated with young drivers, the producers of the 'Police, Camera Action' TV series featured a mock road / hazard situation to test the young drivers. This was in conjunction with 'DriveSafe UK' a leading driver training provider and in this case operating on the airfield at RAF Scampton. The focus of the event was to get the young drivers to avoid a 'target' car at various speeds and simulated conditions - using a 'skid-car'!!

To reduce the obvious risk from potential collisions, the production team approached Imagine Inflatables to provide a full sized inflatable car!.. While most of the drivers managed to avoid the impressive inflatable - it was hit a few times including twice at high speeds! Everyone was relieved that the robust design by Imagine allowed the car to survive an impact of 25 mph - which sent the inflatable cartwheeling through the air before coming to rest approx 70 ft away!..

To ensure potential voters got their message, the Conservative party in London commissioned Imagine Inflatables to provide a number of helium filled blimps for use during forthcoming elections!..





The gas filled advertising balloons have been flown at a number of sites around London - all of which have been managed by operational staff from Imagine.

Promote Your Business With Advertising Blimps

With numerous businesses competing within the same industry, it is essential that companies are continuously looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. Promotion could be on a relatively wide scale through magazine or television advertisements, or on a more local scale using blimps and other such promotional techniques.

Imagine Inflatables provide a wide selection of promotional inflatable products including; blimps, air dancers, roof toppers and balloons. Available to purchase, they can design, construct and install all inflatable items with full branding, colours and logos.

They even supply inflatable buildings on a hireable basis perfect for business events, open days and sampling products; amongst their range are igloos, event stations, tents, domes and sampling stations, available in a selection of colours, businesses can have their logos transferred directly onto the building.

An advertising blimp is an ideal way for businesses to advertise their location to those from miles around. These specialists install their blimps to around 60 metres above the business, they can be fully branded, or have promotional messages added to the removable panels.

All of their flying blimps are made using high quality materials to ensure that they remain permanently inflated and looking good. Whilst most require wind to inflate their fins, the blimps from these specialists are manufactured using nylon to ensure that they are rigid at all times.

For those businesses that require help operating the blimp, they also offer an operational contract service which includes the maintenance required to keep the inflatable flying above the company, drawing in business from far and wide.

Businesses looking for additional information regarding the inflatable products that Imagine Inflatables have to offer can visit their website or give a member of their reliable team a call.

With an ongoing programme of new store openings the activity superstore specialist 'Go Outdoors' commissioned Imagine Inflatables to install a helium filled blimp at each new branch.

When precision is your business, then your needs will also be very exact!!.. Delcam is one of the world's leading suppliers of advanced CADCAM software product development solutions for the manufacturing industry. So, when they wanted to stand out at a recent trade show they turned to Imagine Inflatables to produce an impressive sphere for their stand!..



Imagine utilised a high quality print system to produce a top resolution graphic on the surface of the sphere. Their logo being a spider was replicated in great detail - including the intricate web as well. The inflatable sphere unit has already proved a success by allowing Delcam to stand out from the crowd at shows in Madrid, Spain and the USA.

Well who would have thought!!.. A giant inflatable Elvis character, complete with moustache - was the star of the show,.. making an appearance at this years' 'Movember' event at the impressive 'Evolution' venue in Battersea park. As well as raising vital funds, this raises the profile of mens health issues!.. The moustache theme has really caught on and those attending, go to great lengths to grow an impressive 'mo' to outdo other partygoers!! (generally only the men though!!..)



Obviously Elvis couldn't be left out and so was adorned with a suitable piece of fluff beneath his nose!!..

 

As the preferred supplier to the BBC, Imagine Inflatables were called on again to supply an impressive inflatable Pudsey as a focal point for this years' Children In Need event. The giant inflatable bear looked splendid outside the Millennium Centre where the live broadcast was being held. He proved the star of the show, as visitors to the event including celebrities together with the passing public were queuing  to have their photo taken next to the giant inflatable character!!..

The 'switch on' event for the Christmas inflatables at Carnaby Street attracted a huge crowd this week!!.. They were all soon 'grooving' away dancing along with professional go-go dancers to hits of the 60's era!

Oh,.. and of course - they were accompanied by giant 6m inflatable pink bambis!!...
