How Much does Skywriting Cost?
Skywriting costs vary with the type of skywriting you choose and the Skywriter you employ.
Banner Towing or Sky Signs are the cheapest form of Skywriting. SKY-ADS will do a Marriage Proposal anywhere on the Gold Coast for only $880. For business advertising flights start from as little as $1200.
Combination displays and Aerial Billboards are the next cheapest form of skywriting. A one off investment for production of the Billboard is the only reason billboards are second. Otherwise, the actual flying time investment for exposing the sky display; is still $1200.
Smoke Skywriting comes in next at around $6000 for 10 letters.
Sky Typing follows because of the many aircraft and pilots required. To Date, this method has not been seen in Australia. Because of the cost we suspect.
Lastly Helicopter Flags are the most expensive type of skywriting. The hectic cost of running a helicopter.
Running a jet helicopter only increases the Cost. Although a jet helicopter can fly larger flag. Along with the initial production cost of the flag.
Therefore, the prohibitive cost of this form of skywriting usually places it out of reach of most small to medium corporations.
SKY-ADS would recommend investing in a slightly smaller Billboard. Which an aircraft can tow. Reinvesting the money saved into display airtime.
For example if you have a budget of $13,000. Spending $10,000 on a flag and only flying it once under a helicopter;
is not as efficient as investing $5,000 on an aircraft towed Billboard and Flying it regularly for a month, behind a much cheaper Aircraft.
What is the Best Value Skywriting?
In SKY-ADS opinion the best value skywriting is the Combination Display!
As any Marketing Manager would suggest. Repetition is most important to get results from any Advertising Campaign.
Therefore balancing of three factors needs to be considered
- Repetition – comes down to cost.
- Impact – which results in retention and therefore Consumer Action.
- Coverage – adding a huge new audience always helps a campaign.
The Combination Display provides the best combination of these attributes to get results.
- Same low cost to display as an Aircraft Towed Banner or Billboard
- Colourful Graphics plus a changing message demands attention. Creates action and therefore Sales.
- Being aircraft towed gets the coverage vs readability correct. Plus we cover the Huge Gold Coast Beach Market.
