Woof! Custom Fire Dog Mascot Inflates at Turbo Speed

Setting Up Custom Inflatable Mascots in 4 Easy Steps!

How long will it take me to set up my inflatable mascot or character? Only a few minutes!

#1. ZIP: Close The Inflatable's Zipper

Close the zipper on the inflatable. In this video, the zipper is on the back of the mascot. Secure the velcro flap over the zipper.

#2. PLUG-IN: Plug in the Power Cord

Make sure there is enough space for the inflatable shape to inflate without interference. Plug the power cord attached to the external blower system into a standard outlet.

#3. FLIP THE SWITCH: Turn on the Blower System!

Start the blower/fan system attached to the mascot or character by simply flipping the switch.

#4. INFLATE! Stand Back and Watch Your Inflatable Come to Life!

Watch as your custom inflatable comes to life! Many inflatable characters, like Sparky the Fire Dog in this video, will need external tethers to maintain stability on site.

"[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

"Just wanted to say how much we LOVE our inflatables. We tested them in our lobby where they were, of course, an instant hit for school group photos. Our leadership was quite pleased with the durability and the realism."

- Mike Hennessy, Carnegie Science Center

"Give our races a 'big event' feel. They look cool in photos and videos, and they help us establish the look and feel of our brand."

“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.”
