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.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations


“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

“We wanted to convey our 'money-saving' message; what better way than a 14-foot-tall inflatable booth with money flying around in it?”

- B. Hoffman, Hydra-Flex

“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

"[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

"Landmark Creations has been our go-to supplier for 15 years. Tom and his team are people we count on to make our products look good."

- J. Doyle, Scenery First

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."

- Sam Baker, Head Football Coach at Waconia High School
