Inflatable Colon Works to Save Lives in Outback Alaska

L3601-inflatable-mini-colonMini Inflatable Colon Educates Southwest Alaskan Residents about Colon Health

Alaska is truly a frontier. With a heritage of remote wilderness areas populated by native Eskimos, many of the regions are still difficult to reach. While bigger cities have transformed into tourist destinations, many of the residents live in areas only accessible by planes.

"Alaska has the highest rates of colon cancer and twice the mortality rate for anywhere in the nation. Raising awareness for screening is paramount to decreasing our rates of mortality, if we can find it sooner or as a polyp, chances are, we will save lives," explains Joclyn Reamey, Clinical Assistant/Patient Navigator for the Colorectal Cancer Program.

When you're limited by the size and weight of cargo when making these trips, how could an inflatable colon possibly fit the bill? By shrinking it, that's how!

Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation needed health promotion ideas that would fit their mode of travel and still offer the same, high visual impact inflatables are known for. And, thus, the mini inflatable colon was born!

With its lighter weight and smaller size, it's a great take-along that still packs a powerful, visual punch. Mission accomplished!

What Others Say About Landmark Creations


“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

"We are able to directly track customer traffic caused by the boot, so we know the inflatable boot paid for itself within the first year."

- Jerry Kavsh, Renton Western Wear

"I was especially impressed with your ability to turn around such excellent work on very short notice, and at a fair price."

- R. Stever-Zeitlin, General Mills

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked.  We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"The speed of production was remarkable. We now have eight Hot Stuff balloons that will travel all over the USA to invite people to try our great-tasting pizza."

- B. Eble, Hot Stuff Foods

“This has created tremendous buzz around town and we have received a great deal of compliments on the Big Tire. Exposure is my goal, and the inflatable does that better than anyone, including me, can do at these events. The Big Tire never takes a break, gets tired or has to take a call. It just keeps shining bright and the kids love it.”
