Captain E-Z Inflatable Mascot Rescues Customers from High Prices

Let's Face It: Cold-Air Inflatables Are Just Fun!

When it comes to mobile marketing, E-Z Rent to Own knows how to do it right. About eight years ago they purchased two 20-foot-tall Captain E-Z cold-air inflatables. These blow-up, monster-sized promotional balloons were tasked with some heavy lifting when it came to marketing.

Like many other companies, the rent-to-own chain wanted the inflatable mascots to help them stop traffic outside their stores, build name recognition and associate their brand with the cartoon character known as Captain E-Z. Sound familiar? You probably have similar goals for your marketing. The results have not only been spectacular, but also long lasting.

According to President Rich Walker, "Our two 20-foot Captain E-Z inflatable mascots certainly have become a very valuable asset to our company. After all of these years they have had a lot of use. If we took the original amount invested for these guys, and divided it by the number of days we have used them, it would probably total about $3.00 a day. That's like six postage stamps. Do I think that our decision to order a Landmark creation was smart? Yeah, and I will take credit for it."

Professionalism. Enhanced consumer perception. Increased brand loyalty. Flexible mobile marketing. These are just a few of the benefits E-Z Rent to Own has seen over the last eight years, for about $3.00 per day.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"After speaking to a number of vendors, Landmark Creations had the professionalism, customer service, ingenuity, and creativity that we did not find elsewhere."

- Sean Conway, Arch and Loop

"We had a very positive experience working with Landmark Creations and were very impressed with their service and how quickly we were able to receive our inflatable. The product is high quality and super easy to use, which makes a huge difference when setting up."

- Missy Keiper, Avera McKennan Foundation

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

“The huge cereal bag could be seen from anywhere and was a nice draw to gather people to the tents we had set up.”

- Anika Hage, WatersMolitor

“[The inflatable arch] created a wonderful backdrop to brand our events, capture our sponsors in the photos used by the participants, and made it easy to travel down the coast of California without taking up too much space on our trucks.”

- Amy Daugherty, California Coast Classic
