Billboards!

CHUNN · 02-14-2001, 11:56 AM

We are getting ready to advertise on 22 billboards around the city. I would like some good advise on what to put and not to put on these boards.ThanksMichaelSandollar Tanning Resorts

I think a really good billboard would be Kim and Myself in swimwear, with the saying tan your curves, or something to that effect.

ugly nasty lookin colors are bad. gotta go with something more classic and tasteful, but still noticable. ------------------[url=http://www.control2x.com[/IMG]

I think that a picture of me with my shirt off would definately attract TONS of female customers.

I heard of a billboard that had burning crosses in the background and a KKK member dragging a person with black skin from his blond hair, saying: “Sure, there COULD be some disadvantages tanning with us”I think it was taken down a few days later, but it was the talk of the town.That would **** off some people, but it would get the job done!LOL ------------------Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

I didn't think Huntsville was that big of a town. 22 billboards??? Putting one on every corner chunn? j/k My son's grandparents used to live in Huntsville. He ran Prince matchabelly(spelled wrong).Maybe they exaggerated the smallness of that area.

Sorry Michael, what were you asking? We got a little off the subject. I am having 3 billboards designed so 22 just makes me sit here gaping. We are scheduled to meet with the billboard graphic artist and hoping he has some ideas along with our ideas. I would suggest using your logo along with whatever else is designed. 22!!! (I had trouble taping our one (1!) commercial in my swimsuit!)

As a billboard reader, may I make a suggestion? Try not to get too wordy. If you do, the words become very small, and since most will read your message while driving, they only have a few seconds for your message to register. An image and a few choice words seem to catch attention best (remember the "Got Milk" billboards?).--Amy E. Hamaker, editorToday's Image ;-)
