Common Questions
Frequently Asked by Meritage Homes Marketing Teams
How does an energy-efficient blimp message align with Meritage’s brand?
Our polyurethane uses 87% less helium than PVC — the same efficiency-first approach Meritage applies to homebuilding. When energy-conscious Meritage buyers ask about the balloon, the answer reinforces the brand. It’s a detail that matters to the right buyer.
Do you serve Meritage communities in Arizona — their largest market?
Yes. Arizona is Meritage’s largest market and our home state. We’re headquartered in Glendale, AZ — same-day delivery is available for all Meritage communities in the Phoenix metro.
Can we print Meritage’s green color scheme on the blimp?
Yes. We print in Meritage’s signature green and gold. Custom printing takes 2–3 weeks. We also carry standard green stock blimps for faster turnaround.
Meritage buyers research extensively — how does a balloon fit?
The balloon is the bridge from digital research to physical arrival. Meritage buyers have done their homework online. The blimp is what guides them off the arterial and into your community when they arrive.
Do you serve Meritage communities in California and Colorado?
Yes. California — Sacramento, Riverside, and the Central Valley — and Colorado’s Front Range are active Meritage markets we serve regularly.
