Arizona Balloon Company, a manufacturer of polyurethane helium advertising balloons and blimps since 1979, now offers weekend rentals across Greater Houston. The service gives homebuilders, auto dealers, and event marketers aerial visibility on weekends when buyers are out touring — without requiring them to purchase equipment or commit to long-term contracts.
Weekend Rentals for Aerial Advertising
Houston is consistently among the nation’s most active homebuilding markets, with master-planned communities stretching from Katy and Cypress to The Woodlands, Conroe, and League City. For builders competing for weekend foot traffic across that footprint, visibility from the roadway remains one of the strongest drivers of model home visits. A helium blimp flying above a community is visible for miles — precisely on the days buyers are out touring.
With weekend service, a builder can fly a blimp over a grand opening, phase release, or inventory close-out on Saturday and Sunday, then have it come down Monday morning. The same model serves auto dealers running weekend sales events and retailers marking grand openings.
Arizona Balloon Company manufactures its balloons from polyurethane, a material that retains helium far longer than the PVC and latex balloons commonly used for temporary displays. Latex “cloudbuster” balloons typically last a single event before disposal; polyurethane balloons hold their shape and lift through repeated use, which is what makes an affordable rental model possible.
“Houston builders manage some of the largest community pipelines in the country, and most of their buyer traffic shows up on the weekend,” said Johnny Mulder, owner of Arizona Balloon Company. “A blimp overhead on Saturday and Sunday puts a community on the map for every family driving the area — and with a rental, the builder only pays for the days that matter.”
