We recently helped two clients plan and execute epic aerial banner proposals.

The first took place in Flagler Beach where Preston got down on bended-knee and asked Viviana to be his wife. She said yes! The weather was great and the Aerial Messages sky letter banner proposal was perfect.

Preston shared this testimonial afterward: “It was so perfect and our pilot went above and beyond. They went around so many times to make sure we could get all of our pictures and did so much more than we asked. So, so grateful for this experience.”

Congratulations Preston and Viviana! Aerial Messages is wishing you both the very best.

The second proposal was planned by Cosme to propose to his partner Erin in front of their family and friends. We designed a sky letter banner with a heart for the airplane banner proposal. It was a clear, but chilly day and the banner looked perfect against the cloudless sky.

Cosme shared this testimonial after the flight: “Lina was so helpful with the entire process of my Aerial Messages marriage proposal. I can’t thank you all enough for making the fly-by a reality for me and my fiancé. It was the best!”

Congratulations on your aerial engagement, Cosme and Erin!

We get it. Our own business has been heavily impacted by the cancellation of some of the biggest events of the year and we’ve heard from customers who are scared and struggling. We have spent the past several days thinking long and hard for ways we can continue to serve you and to find unique and creative ways to continue celebrating life’s special moments. We’ve found endless inspiration on social media and have been touched to see people celebrating birthdays and weddings with “social distancing” car parades. We’ve seen airline banners flown outside hospital windows to bring joy to a loved one coping with illness without the support of visitors. We’ve seen messages of hope flown through the sky over cities where mandatory shelter-in-place orders have been issued.

We realized that while many aspects of “normal” life are on hold, joy still abounds. Babies will still be born. Couples will still fall in love. Students will still graduate. Hope and happiness are not on hold. Your special events may look a little differently this year, but perhaps now more than ever, they deserve to be celebrated with enthusiasm.

If your graduate is disappointed about not getting to walk across the stage, you’re wondering how to safely celebrate mom’s 90^th birthday while her nursing home is closed to visitors, or you simply want to remind your neighbors that we’re all in this together – we’re here for you. We’re armed with ideas for honoring occasions big or small and helping you find as much joy as possible in the midst of this crisis.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you! Complete the form on the right to request a quote or give us a call at 866-608-6285 to get started.

Whether you’re more familiar with aerial messaging thanks to that scene in The Wizard of Oz or you’ve seen it elsewhere in the form of aerial advertising services around town, there’s no doubt that these messages are one of the most effective ways to grab people’s attention. Surveys have shown that 79% of people exposed to an aerial message will remember the product or service it’s advertising!

And aerial advertising services are truly just the beginning of the possibilities these messages can offer. Here’s a look at three of the best ways you can use airplane messages in your own everyday life:

Proposals
Thinking about popping the big question to your girlfriend or boyfriend? Many people use aerial banners and airplane messages to propose to their partners — it’s the perfect romantic gesture that goes above and beyond (literally). And when the average airplane banner is about eight characters in length, you have the perfect amount of space to say “Marry me?” We’re pretty sure he or she will give you the answer you’re looking for.

Baby gender announcements
Having parties and gatherings to reveal the gender of your baby is an increasingly popular choice for expecting parents. And what better way of revealing whether you’ll be having a boy or a girl than by displaying it in the sky for all to see? You could even choose blue or pink lettering depending on the gender. It’s the perfect way to finally announce to your friends and family that you’re having a boy or girl.

High school and college graduations
If your child is graduating from high school or college in a few months, you’re probably wondering how best to celebrate it with the rest of your family. By investing in an aerial message that wishes your son or daughter congratulations, it can add an extra touch to his or her graduation party — and show how much you care about his or her success in the future.

The point is, you remember it. Most people do: in surveys following aerial banner campaigns, 79% of people remembered the product or service being advertised, and 67% could remember at least half of the message itself.

There's no better way to grab the attention of a large group of people than giving them a little aerial show. But airplane banners aren't just for corporate advertising. Imagine if you could create a moment that memorable, that special, for someone you love.

Well, you can!

Airplanes have been carrying message banners since the 1920s, almost as long as the plane itself has been around. They can do more than just try to sell beach-goers some soda. Make your celebration special and memorable with a custom airplane banner that lets the world know exactly how you feel.

There's a plane banner perfect for every occasion:

• Birthday: Let everyone know that you're celebrating a special day by broadcasting a big "Happy Birthday!" sign to the whole town.
• Anniversary: Tell your spouse how much they mean to you by spelling it out in the sky. Or send one as a surprise to your parents or friends!
• Proposal: For a truly unique way to pop the question, let the sky do the talking. It'll make a great story for your grandkids someday, and just think about how jealous your Instagram followers will be.
• Graduation: You can send a message to the whole community by sending off an airplane banner that congratulates all of your favorite grads on their hard work and achievement.

If aerial advertising campaigns can get a response rate of 20%, imagine the impact your message of love, thanks, or congratulations could spread throughout the sky.

People everywhere still love the thrill of looking up into the air to see a plane flying overhead, especially one that carries a special message written just for them. Your banner will make your special someone feel loved and appreciated, but it also just might send those warm and fuzzy feelings all throughout the community.
