Inflatable On Field Activations Marketing is an extremely large industry, and it doesn’t get any bigger or more competitive than sports marketing, which is why many sporting bodies are looking for new and unique fan engagement techniques. At Giant Inflatables, we have been working extra hard to tackle the stagnant nature of sports marketing going into 2017. No longer can you just rely on having the biggest and brightest inflatable, to create a lasting and effective activation. We believe the best way to create efficient and successful brand activation, is to be creative and original, bringing more than just advertising to the table. Fan engagements need to be ENGAGING, and nothing is more memorable and engaging than an on-field activity. On field activities are activations that are generally run at break times during a sporting game. These breaks are great opportunities to grab everyone’s attention and do something memorable. Our most recent on field activation, which was do...

Certified Maintenance In 2016 we saw the inflatables market blow up (pun intended) resulting in a brand new and exciting market open to exploration by many large companies and organisations that otherwise wouldn’t have thought of an inflatable solution. As with any market, once the demand increases, we start to see a steady stream of bottom line, and unsafe , products coming from china. If you are John Doe from Average Company inc, a Chinese inflatable might work for you, but what happens when that unit ultimately breaks? Who is going to service a unit you paid bottom dollar for in china? Furthermore, let’s say you are from a large media company, and you have been tasked to source an inflatable for an upcoming event. Let us also assume that you do not know about the strict health and safety regulations imposed on all interactive inflatable units in Australia, so you order a unit from a non-accredited supplier and receive your brand new unit. Now it is the week before the event an...

Cleaning up the soda blasting industry one inflatable at a time Soda and sandblasting, being one of Australian largest industrial service and maintenance industries, has come under recent scrutiny for its negative environmental impacts and inability to be conducted in a clean and contained manner. A large portion of business being conducted by the sand and soda blasting industry is onsite work in open areas, with little ability to contain their polluting media . Given the environmental impact, local councils have recently begun enforcing rules and regulations regarding soda and sand blasting in their areas.  The four main concerns raised by councils in regards to blasting is Air quality, Noise, Water quality and waste management. In the past, most blasting businesses conducted their work in the open with little to no containment, resulting in air quality around the blasting area being greatly degraded by the emissions of particle matter from the blasting. Noise from soda b...

When you do a job well, invariably word-of-mouth leads to more jobs.  When you do it excellently, you can get 3 new jobs like we did on this KIIS job for Australian Radio Network (“ARN”). When ARN was looking for some custom illuminated inflatable logo KIIS lips with programmable internal illumination, they had no hesitation in contacting Giant Inflatables to do the job.  The best referral is a job well done and that is what we deliver time and time again. After we produced 2 highly visible inflatable shelters, we were asked to make an inflatable logo that had internal programmable lighting. It was a fun, but challenging ask.  How to put programmable illumination inside an inflatable, controlled from the outside without disturbing the inflation or deflation. Well once again our Genius Design Team put it together with our engineering wizards to create the custom illuminated inflatable logo KIIS lips. The results speak for themselves. Fo...
