Has anyone tried this before?

Write down the pros & the cons. I'll start it out.
Con- What if the driver is a rude jerk on the road.

Art,

How much "drive time" does your actual AD
get in that months time? At $200 they would
need to have more than just your ad up for a month.
Fuel alone would be $200 in a couple of days.
Does that sign "rotate" ads every say 2-5 min?
I ask this, because you are looking for the most
impressions for your money. Did you attend AC's
webinar last night?

Personally, I hate those trucks and vow to never do business with anyone who advertises there. I can't stand the thought of those guys adding just a little more traffic to rush hour. But that's just me!

Thats telling, two against, but thanks,I get what both of you said. Chris, he hasn't given me all the info yet but I was thinking along the same lines and he's just starting out so he probably doesn't have a full load yet. I'm rethinking the value of this service based on the feedback from Dave & Ray. No I didn't purchase the webinar, I may at a later date if that's possible, but they weren't in my budget.

we had a couple of those running around locally and they changed the ordinances and put them out of business. I know the company that owned them.

I liked it though. I wonder if they can do video?????? EDUCATION

Government at work, and they claim "we" (or is it they) need to "create" jobs. Change an ordinance just because a few people got their panties in a wad. Now, I have to agree with Chris, wondering all the important unknowns.

Video........Hhhmmm.......

I can see some great Roof Cleaning advertising on this.

It would have something to do with umpa lumpas running

around on a roof. Lol... Lol.... Seriously.

There would be accidents all over town because people would

be watching the 20-30 second video while driving. This is a great idea.

I got alot of calls from driving around town with this.

Though I have changed my tag line from " Got Roof Stains".
Too: " Why replace your roof when we can clean it?"

Nice Bruce, That is some of the best advertising
anyone can do. Nice Big billboard on the side of the
truck. The ROI on something like that is Huge.

Any of you that have seen my truck know that I own one of these signs in a smaller version. I run it off of a power inverter and it is really an eye cather. Sometimes I drive around with it on, turn it on everytime I park near a lot of traffic, and at every job site.
Fyi
I also sell these signs in various sizes and they are very beneficial for ROI. You can program over 100 messages into them and control the speed and colors of each. 3 year warranty. For under $2K you have your own advertising agency.

Gary - hope you're recovering quickly and are back on your feet soon.

Do you have any pics or URLs for the sign you mention? I'd like to take a look.

I dont have any POS on my truck mentioning roof cleaning, except the logo. I spoke before about putting something on back window. A before and after pic I'm thinking. I got to get something on there early this year!

Hello Gary,

I hope you are doing better, I thought I read somewhere that you were
going to be home this weekend. I bet that is a big relief for you. I hope
to see you on your feet again soon.
I would also like some info on these sign Gary. When ever you have a chance
you could email, or PM something to me. No big hurry, whenever you get to it
buddy.
Thanks for everything Gary.

Hey Mike- you might want to clarify that POS means advertising(point of sale). If I hadn't worked in the beer business I'd think you were saying Piece Of Something you step in occasionally.
