Above And Beyond Promotion

With a limited advertising budget, is a poster from Lamar worth it?

I operate a contractor-based, in-home tutoring business. I am already advertising in a local parenting magazine and with the Yellow Pages. I also have a website.

I’m considering buying a poster (a smaller billboard on a Highway) in the area. The poster I can get is on a very high traffic highway in a city in which many of my parents/clients live.

The poster would be $1,500/month. This would tap pretty much the rest of my advertising budget for a month or two. As consumers, do you think this is worth the money? Would a poster legitimize a business to you and raise your interest? Or do you think I should focus on ads in magazines and a flyer campaign in doctors’ offices, dentists’ offices, etc.?

What’s up with Coke billboard?

I keep seeing these billboards advertising a 2-pack of 50-oz bottles of Coke, and they say “100 oz of Coke — Enough For Your Meal”. What does that mean? 100 oz is like 3/4 of a gallon! Does it mean that it’s enough to BE a meal by itself? Or it’s enough for my whole family’s meal? Who would drink 3/4 of a gallon of Coke with one meal? And if it’s for one meal, why is it in 2 bottles? I don’t get it!

How do small businesses decide where to spend their advertising budgets?

If a political candidate has advertising credit leftover can he/she use it for personal use?

Can a political candidate who buys billboards for example use a balance left over with the billboard company for personal use? So, for example, let’s say the candidate uses campaign money in the amount of $50,000 to advertise his campaign but only uses $40,000 of or gets a credit from the billboard company for whatever reason, can the candidate use it to promote a personal business after the campaign is over considering that the money from the billboard company is not refundable and the remaining balance can only be used for billboard advertising?

A few questions about designing a billboard?

So, for a project in school, we have to make a billboard advertising one good that was carried along the Silk Road. No one in the history class can repeat a good, and we already signed up for goods- I have to advertise grain.

Can you tell me answers of these questions:
-What is a catchy slogan to advertise grain along the Silk Road (It can be modern. Doesn’t have to be relating to ancient times)

-Can you tell me a little bit about the grain along the Silk Road

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS/GALS!

Advertising Agencies Directory?

I am looking for a directory of marketing agencies in europe, and I
hope you can help me.

Here are the details for the search:

The directory MUST include: Name of the company, phone number,
webpage, and EMAIL address (not a contact form, but a real email
address).

The kind of companies im looking for are mainly promotional marketing,
event organising, and BTL agencies, but im also interested in
advertising and communication agencies in general (usually big
advertising agencies have a promotional / event department).

The countries i am interested in are all european countries, mainly:
-Great Britain
-Norway
-Finland
-Holland
-Sweden
-Switzerland
-Greece
-Germany
-Italy
-Russia

A good answer would have a link to a directory with not less than
1.000 european advertising companies. (or several links that sum up
that amount of companies).

I will also consider marketing contacts of
multinational companies as valid.

Do you think advertising agencies really believe the public is so dumb they can say something like this?

Just saw a shampoo ad on TV. It showed someone gently put their fingers through their hair and found a few strands in their hand. Then a voice said “Did you know that falling hair is a sign of weak hair?”
ummm…. yes!! (Did you know that saying the bloody obvious to the audience is a sign of your own stupidity and contempt? – LOL)

How much paper does the advertising industry use in say a week or a year?

What is the name of the German equivalent for billboard?

I am trying to find the correct spelling of the round advertising boards found on the sidewalks in German towns. The board is a place where local news, events, shows, bands, etc are posted. The round pole varies in size and can be a foot to several feet in diameter and I would guess 8 to 10 feet tall. It was named after the inventer who was a printer I believe. Phonetically I believe it is Lit-fa-zoil. Any help is appreciated.

How do I get more guests at my hotel?

I opened a 4* hotel last year-30 rooms. The problem is that the hotel may be too good (luxurious) for the town it s situated in, as people and business trip employees go to cheaper hotels. Guests are primary foreign but we do not seem to attract enough, to maintain 50-60% occupancy throughout the month. We have tried tour operators but it is not enough.

Have you decided not to put an Obama sticker on your car because of fear of the consequences?

I’d be interested in knowing whereabouts you live.

By the way, it’s been found that a single bumper sticker has the effect of $500 worth of billboard advertising for a candidate.
Another BTW: you might be interested in knowing that stickers, nowadays, come off without harming the car. I was surprised by that. Back in my day, stickers were almost impossible to remove.
