Inflatable Marketing Ideas You Can Use

Cooler temps bring crisp mornings. Here, in Minnesota, brightly colored leaves line our neighborhoods and roadways. And retailers? They go into full panic mode during fall!   

From now until year's end, retail store owners and managers will have tunnel vision, as they gear up for the busiest and most profitable time of the year. Once you decide which inflatables you'll need, best to put your orders in right away to avoid the holiday rush.

Service providers also need to be thinking inflatables right now.  Tax preparers especially should consider inflatable mascots as well as character inflatables and inflatable logos, all of which will help you stand out in an overcrowded marketplace. Auto dealerships and exhibitors at home and boat shows can get a world of help via inflatable tents, custom banners, inflatable blimps, kiosks, inflatable replicas and more.  This issue has several excellent case studies to give you ideas. Are you one of the millions of Americans who experiences brain freeze in between issues of Landmarketing?  Suffer no longer!
