Buy CHEAP...Pay DEAR!

Image
Another lesson in Experience - Cheap is Dear  ! When we were approached by one of our dynamic clients, Bubble Soccer 2 U   to redesign their Dart Soccer Target Board which they bought directly from a Chinese Manufacturer online we started thinking about why our clients use Giant Inflatables to supply their inflatable, interactive, sports activations when they can order from China off the web for a 1/3 of the price. Cheap Imported Target Dart Board Soccer It really all boils down to Intellectual Property and   Design .  Our  Genius Design Team  incorporate cutting edge technology and experienced based design to create unique inflatable product that are lightweight, reliable over its event life, and simple and safe to operate. The saying that “Cheap is Dear” really is applicable here.  The cheap off the shelf Chinese version that our client purchased turned out to be so heavy and cumbersome that the one amazing benefit of Inflatables i...

A Very Cheesy Tale

Point of Sale ( POS ) sealed inflatables Welcome to the wonderful world of POS   replicas. POS inflatables are inflatable products most often displayed at the point of sale of a product. These attention grabbing, larger-than-life, replicas are the perfect way to activate a brand.  One of the key ways to activate a brand is to attract consumer interest and attention at the Point of Sale to stimulate the purchase of the product.   Add an activity to get consumer engagement and you kill two birds with one stone.  Firstly your consumer notices your product and secondly by actively creating a POS with a taste test or throwing competition to win a  product by throwing at the POS inflatable target you add the dimension of engagement - one of the most powerful tools to communicate a brand with a potential consumer.  POS and Brand Activation The standard or usual POS tools have been posters, banners and display stands at the end of aisles....

One Team, One Mission

The   genius team , operational, service and maintenance teams   at Giant Inflatables will create any inflatable activity you can imagine. When we work with a client, we are a member of our client’s team, an extension of their workforce.  This relationship can be seen with AFL Victoria.  Our job does not stop after we complete manufacturing their inflatable sports equipment.  We ensure that every product is kept on our register with its own unique serial number. This enables us to keep abreast of the certification validity of each inflatable to ensure it is safe and compliant with all necessary build and operational requirements.  Our clients can leave all operational, safety, set up, maintenance, repair and certification procedure to us so that they can get on with the 1000’s of other URGENT items on their “to do” list. Giant Inflatables are not restricted to games of popular sports only. In fact, we will design an audience engaging, interact...

Need Impact - Inflatables have it

Image
Pedders shows the way Marketing plans are story driven And an inflatable character tells the story in a way that will be remembered long after its gone. Pictures say it all….. but inflatable characters say even more. That’s why companies that need to tell their stories in a way that will attract attention and never be forgotten choose to use inflatable marketing products. Giant inflatables and inflatables with attitude have a lasting impact When a company looking for a marketing angle that will be seen by many, is looking to get the story told well, they will look for a supplier that can interpret and understand the plot and then deliver what their imagineers have dreamed. The talented team at Giant Inflatables have the experience and the understanding to listen to a clients dream, and know how to turn that into a workable, usable reality.

The Giant Inflatables website been a VERY long time in coming. At last our NEW website www.giantinflatables.com.au is here and we are a very proud team. It really amazes me how hard it is to find the balance of ton, content and pitch . As a team of committed individuals we began by asking each member of our diverse team to consider who their client was. We began that exploration in a workshop and established that each of us in the team was a client and had a supplier...... .... In that context - of each team member having a supplier and client - we then explored what information we wanted to communicate with each of our individual clients...... What surprised me was how in concert the ultimate aim was to be. To put it simply it was...... Communicate with each of our clients our teams collective sentiment that "we are here to make their life easier ... and to accept the responcibility of their trust in us...

Without brands and product differentiation, shoppers’ choice becomes arbitrary.

What are Inflate and Seal products ? Why are they so popular? What sizes are made? What run quantity is do-able? What shapes can be produced? Inflate and Seal Inflatables are PVC inflatables that are inflated through a valve and then plugged to maintain inflation. Its just like blowing up a beach ball ! They are popular because the are cheap to produce, are very simple to use and can be made in large quantities which are very compact for shipping . Inflate and seal - marketing and sale products, are made in any size from 250mm to 3m high. Giant Inflatables can produce small quantities as well as large runs. When asked to produce an inflatable shape we need to know what it will be used for and what our clients wish for an outcome. Based on this information, and based on our vast experience in the sales and marketing arena we can design and produce or reproduce almost any shape of product. However we are always constantly aware of the end game requ...

Are tents old fashioned?

Image
We get so many calls from Event producers who are looking for a fresh look for their outdoor events. It seems to me that the conventional tent as an exciting venue has lost its appeal. With soft lines, fantastic and exciting lighting options, incredibly cost effective operational expenses, in the set up, storage and removal and quick turn around for production, Inflatable Airframe Buildings and Tents are now the new look "must have" Question – What does the TV show Top Gear Live and Giant Inflatables have in common?

What a pleasure to work with Tanya at Nova. After giving us a comprehensive brief, she left it in our hands to bring it to life. It is always rewarding when a client's trust in our abilities is merited by a product and service that keeps them smiling.

Or the story of a genius mould-maker. When asked to recreate Po as a 3D master, it was up to master pattern makers to show their genius and reinterpret a 2dimensional celluloid superhero character into an inflatable Kung Fu master. Meet the Inflatable Kung Fu panda and the picture-history of his making.

Our clients have often said that “we have character” and we trust that it is represented in all our work.

Inflatable Sam Newman

Image
Sam Newman Jnr gets his tie straightened and his mascara touched up before the lights and camera come to life for his live appearance on Channel Nine’s Footy Show. The team at Giant inflatables and Sam Jnr, wish our man Sam a speedy recovery and look forward to his return to pilot the ship once again. It was a job that posed some serious challenges for the team who worked an 18hr shift to get him camera ready. We need to say a HUGE thanks to the fabulous guys at Covercraft – Les and the team - without whose wizardry with the artwork and the die-sub printer this ‘Sam inflatable character’ would have never come off. I am always grateful to the extended team and our specialist partners, who make the “edge of the envelope” a workable adventure!

Inflatable Snow Dome Igloo for Optus – We do it again for the gals at Zing.

Image
It’s a nerve wracking wait when a client who has implicit trust in our ability to understand what they require gets their delivery. Our expectations of ourselves not to let them down are always so high. Our credo is that “we are here only to make it better for our clients”. So until we get that feedback from the client that we “did it again” the tension of expectation remains. We thank the team at Zing and trust that we will never let them down even if the fan may. This product is a customized inflatable shelter 7m in diameter. It folds down into a bag that can fit in the boot of a family car and weighs just 28 kgs.

And Mikael fell in love with the helicopter before it left to attend a parade in Sydney.
