Marlin Character Inflatable Costume Keeps Customers Happy

Inflatable Marlin Costume at Car Wash LocationCustomers Ask for Car Wash Express's Marlin Character Inflatable

Fast, friendly and wet… few things could be a more appropriate representative of a speedy car wash than a marlin. That's precisely why Car Wash Express chose this creature as its front man (front fish?). 

Standing about eight-feet tall, the marlin costume is the latest addition to the marketing department of this high-volume wash.

While their new character inflatable costume has only been in use a short while, she has already made an impact.  Brett Meinberg, President of Car Wash Express, tells us, "We have not had [our inflatable mascot] long, but people already love it, and when we do not have it out, they ask for it."

With a primary goal of branding the washes, Brett has plans to use his new inflatable street side to capture the attention of passersby.  In addition, entertaining kids who visit one of the five Car Wash Express locations with their parents is also in the works.

Is it possible to form an opinion of an inflatable mascot in a short time frame? Sure it is. "This is the best marketing investment I have ever made. This thing is just plain amazing!"  We agree 100%.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations


"[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."

“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.”
