Harris Bank Takes to the Skies:
Corporate Mascot Roars to Life!
 Brand reinforcement is an important part of advertising in today's over-saturated marketing arena. Harris Bank took some big steps to promote their brand with a 30-foot replica of their company mascot—Hubert the Lion. Hubert made his debut as a giant helium balloon on March 15, 2008 at the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade, where he performed proudly for thousands of Chicago residents and visitors. The Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade is also broadcast live on national television. Inflatable mascots are a great way to increase brand awareness. In addition to the giant helium variety, Dynamic Displays also produces custom cold-air rooftops and inflatable costumes. www.fabulousinflatables.comLabels: corporate mascots, harris bank, helium giant, holiday parade, parade balloons
Every Parade Day Is A Good Day
 Parades are such exciting events. Throngs of people suddenly turn up on the downtown city streets, toting lawn chairs and small children, all anticipating the same thing--the magic and excitement of the parade experience. You can feel the anticipation in the morning air as step-off approaches... the floats are lining up, the bands tuning up, and somewhere around the block, the balloons are being let loose to rise slowly in preparation for flight. I think the thing I like most about parades (aside from the giant balloons, of course), is the way all parade participants give themselves over to the fun with such wild abandon. Where else would you see grown men proudly sporting a multi-colored wig and a full face of paint? They're having such a grand old time, too. Events like America's parades give everyone the chance to be a kid again, to gasp in awe at the giant helium balloons soaring through the streets and to shout with amazement at that particularly amazing float. And that's just the crowd--parade participants get to play dress up, ham it up for their watching friends and family, and march with pride through the streets of the city they love. We all need a chance to let loose once in a while, and I'd say that parade day is a great chance to do just that. Coming to your hometown this Thanksgiving, Dynamic Displays' cast of giant parade balloons will help usher in the holiday season. Watch for us.www.fabulousinflatables.comLabels: helium giant, holiday parade, inflatable float, parade balloons
Forecast: Festive with a Strong Chance of Parades
 It's that time of year again--we're a month away from Thanksgiving, and parade and event coordinators everywhere are starting to remember the pressure from last year. Thanksgiving Day is the single most popular day for parades in the States, as many of America's cities seek to usher in the holiday season with some degree of fanfare and celebration. Probably the most famous Thanksgiving Parade in America is the Macy's Parade in New York City, also one of the first parades to use giant helium balloons as part of the celebratory procession. In addition to New York, nearly every other large city across the country throws their own Thanksgiving Parade. Millions of people line their city streets annually, braving somewhat unpredictable weather to participate is what is now a firm American tradition--the holiday parade. Dynamic Displays' stock of rental balloons can be seen in a number of Thanksgiving Day parades across the country, including Houston's HEB Holiday Parade, Chicago's State Street Thanksgiving Parade, and others. Some of our more popular choices include Jim Henson's famous muppets, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, as well as a variety of Sesame Street's lovable characters, such as Elmo, Big Bird and Cookie Monster.
