Hot air balloons have been used to advertise and promote thousands of products and services over the years, and are becoming an excellent addition to existing marketing campaigns. A hot air balloon not only attracts interest it also holds the attention of spectators. In addition to the six million people attending various ballooning events nationwide, the balloon will also carry the advert over the surrounding population, increasing the exposure even more.

With the introduction of computer aided design it has become easier and to create complex balloon shapes. These one-of-a-kind balloons are very cost effective and often have an impact that conventional advertising methods lack.

Ballooning is becoming more and more popular for corporate weekends and hospitality. Adventure Balloons are experts in this field, and combined with their 16 passenger basket offer a great day out for your employees or potential customers.

The tradition of champagne on a balloon flight goes back a long way and can actually be traced to the 1780’s which was the staging of the first balloon flight. On that first balloon flight the pilot took along a bottle of champagne to celebrate and enjoy on the flight, instead the champagne was given to the farmers who owned the land the hot air balloon landed on.

This gift of champagne to the landowners convinced them that the hot air balloon was not infact something to be frightened of and of course acted as compensation for disturbing grazing animals in the field.
The tradition of a champagne toast after the flight still stands today where you as a passenger will celebrate with the pilot.
