Based in Denver, Colo., RE/MAX International oversees a network of nearly 100,000 agents in more than 50 countries. The RE/MAX network is made up of more than 70 regions, varying in size from a metropolitan area to an entire country. RE/MAX values community involvement at all levels of the organization, from individual Associates to corporate headquarters. Children's Miracle Network and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation are two prime beneficiaries. RE/MAX Balloon Fleet A company image seven stories tall. Multiply that by more than 90 and you have the largest fleet of hot air balloons in the world. Across North America and now increasingly around the globe, the red, white, and blue balloons emblazoned with the RE/MAX logo participate in balloon meets, highlight charitable and business promotions, and drift above athletic events. Besides highlighting promotional events, RE/MAX Balloons fly at all the major - and many minor - hot-air balloon meets across North America. RE/MAX Balloon pilots introduce school classes to ballooning, and couples ask to be married in the balloon. The average RE/MAX Balloon makes 65 appearances a year, each event averaging more than an hour, for a fleet total of about 6,400 hours of advertising - equal to nearly nine months of 24-hour flying. RE/MAX expects to pass the 100-balloon fleet milestone in the near future. The network's major graphic symbol, the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon image appears on "for sale" signs, bus benches, billboards, in print advertising and television commercials. It is one of the most widespread and recognizable images in business marketing. © 2004 RE/MAX International, Inc.
