I want to have a dancing balloon type thing 13-15 ft in height parked out front of my open houses. Many listings including one right now directly on Heritage Dr have potential to be seen by thousands of people however I find that open house signs are often over looked because there are so many on a Sat & Sun afternoon. Something like this would surely grab attention.
Does anyone know where this can be done locally?
I found this site : http://inflateitadvertising.com/ and the rates seem pretty good however I prefer local for something like this.

Koiji Restolounge in Harvest Hills has an orange wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man outside their restaurant right now. If you're looking for a local source to rent a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man, I would suggest you give them a call to see where they rented their wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. I'm not sure a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man is an appropriate form of advertising for my profession but there are certainly others out there that would probably benefit from a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.

If my realtor put an effing inflatable whacky armed guy in front of my house, I would fire him in an instant. That is crass and in poor taste IMHO. Even if I'm looking to move, I don't want my neighbours to hate me...
what you think newts?

It is not going to sit in front of the home all the time. Only during a open house... would you still feel this way? I am always open to suggestions and if the majority of people feel this way then I will scratch the idea.
Open houses are all about traffic and i thought it could be a good eye catcher for people driving down heritage.

It just seems tacky and low class. If you're selling something in the sub 400k market, maybe? I don't know. But if the place is worth some scratch, do you even want people who came in because of a whacky inflatable arm character in your house?
I would certainly get your client's thoughts on it first, because if my realtor showed up with one and put it up, I'd fire him, regardless of how handsome he is.

I would tend to agree.
If you have a few properly designed Open House signs that stands out from your typical Remax/Century 21 type signs I think you stand just as good a chance of getting people to come to the open house without pissing off the neighbours.
Besides, what's the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man going to tell people passing by? They'll still need to read a signing pointing them in the direction of an open house.
Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man™ seems like something that would go well with impulse items. I'm not sure houses fall into that category. It's great if it gets attention, but you want to make sure you generating the right kind. If it comes off as cheap and cheesy, you probably don't want that to be a potential buyers first impression.
all the input was appreciated. Seeing as most think its a poor idea I will save a few hundred on this.
The thing would have said open house on it and the property is vacant but with that being said, I posted it on the forum and although not the feedback I had hoped for it was good non the less.

Very good point, wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man would be pointing them in all sorts of crazy directions. People would randomly walk up to houses and knock on the door thinking that is where the open house is!

I guess I'm going against the grain here. When I see a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man I say to myself "Self (and I know it's me because I recognize the voice)- if they have gone to the effort of getting a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man; you better go see what that is about."

Followed by another voice in your head that says "I'm coming back here after the sun has gone down, cause I'm totally going to f$$$ that thing"
