Main Takeaways
Large soccer ball inflatables at FIFA fan events and viewing parties present the opportunity for businesses to capture audiences online and off.
Giant soccer balls’ size encourages organic social sharing from event attendees and passersby.
Inflatables are easy to transport, set up, and take down, making them ideal for temporary events like viewing parties.
FIFA expects more than 5 million fans to attend the World Cup’s 104 games across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Official FIFA Fan Festivals may draw much bigger crowds, with past attendance reaching millions over the globe. These numbers aren’t even including non-sponsored viewing parties.
Put simply, the FIFA World Cup is going to be a defining moment. But not just in the sports world. It’s also a game-changing moment for businesses, giving them the opportunity to capture audiences and showcase their brands to new audiences. Giant inflatable soccer balls present the perfect solution. Learn why they’ll dominate with Creatable Inflatables.
Large Soccer Balls Are Made to Stand Out. Literally.
As the premier host city for the FIFA World Cup, there are countless fan festivals and viewing parties planned across Los Angeles. So what makes yours stand out? Audiences today are quick to tune out traditional advertising like billboards and signs.
What does capture attention are moments that feel unique and worth experiencing in real life. Giant inflatable sports balls offer the scale and creativity that traditional advertising cannot, turning a regular viewing party into an unmissable experience.
Are There Benefits to Giant Soccer Balls?
From business marketing to event entertainment, custom inflatables are must-haves for FIFA celebrations. And it’s not just because they look cool.
They Deliver High Visibility and Brand Awareness: Inflatable soccer balls provide maximum visual impact, serving as high-visibility, memorable advertising or decoration for your organization.
They Make for More Cost-Effective Advertising: Buying sports inflatables provides a significant return on investment, as they can be reused for years at various events.
They Build Social Media Engagement: Their massive scale promotes social sharing, encouraging your attendees to take photos and create organic social media marketing. Passersby are also drawn to these “social media magnets,” stopping to take and share photos. This builds even greater brand reach.
A Giant Soccer Ball Is Your Solution to Easier FIFA Fan Festival and Viewing Party Preparation
Don’t let their giant size fool you. Inflatable soccer balls are much easier to manage than you’d think!
Lightweight Materials Make Transport More Manageable
Our custom inflatable shapes are made with various durable materials, from 7-oz. to 18-oz. vinyl. These materials are remarkably lightweight, especially when compared to the heavy signage and large props often used as sports events. This makes our rental inflatables ideal for temporary events like festivals and viewing parties.
But that’s not to say these inflatables are only provisional. You can also purchase giant soccer balls from Creatable Inflatables for repeated use to celebrate:
Branded game nights
The Olympics and other major sports events
Experiential events
Promotional exhibits
Local school or recreational games
FIFA Fan Festivals
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Take Down
If you’ve ever set up for a large festival or event, you know how long it can take. Between branded displays, lighting, and technical equipment, you’re looking at 2 hours minimum.
While they can’t minimize the duration of your decor setup, inflatables do provide easy setup so you can spend more time on event aspects like food prep. It takes a few minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the size of your giant inflatable soccer ball. Your general steps include:
Select a flat and open area.
Place a tarp down to protect the fabric material.
Unpack and unroll your inflatable.
Anchor your inflatable down so it’s secure.
Use an electric blower to inflate your prop.
Make any final adjustments, such as adjusting your anchors or tethering ropes for stability.
The takedown process is equally simple. You’ll typically follow the previous steps in reverse order, and make sure your unit is clean and dry before storage.
