It is the cheapest real blimp there is, and for a lot of sites it is also the right one.
It is still bigger than a car
Ten feet sounds modest written down. Measure it on your forecourt and it is longer than most vehicles parked on it.
People routinely order up because the number sounds small on a page. Pace it out before you decide it is not enough.
What it does
Two flat printable sides, weathervanes into the wind, flies at 120 feet like any of our blimps. Lettering on it reads clearly to about 350 feet.
That covers car parks, forecourts, and retail on a 30 to 40 mph street. Which is most retail.
Where it runs out
Fast roads and deep setbacks. At 55 mph with a quarter-mile approach, a 10-foot blimp is a dot and the money is wasted.
The honest test is the distance from where you want to be noticed. Beyond about 350 feet, step up to the 13-foot at $975 and do not look back.
The cheap running cost is the real argument
105 cubic feet per fill, about $158 at typical local rates. Half of one cylinder.
Compare that to 430 cubic feet on a 21-foot blimp. If you intend to fly year round, the small blimp’s gas bill is what makes it sustainable rather than an occasional treat.
