What’s a commercial grade slogan for a Science Club that is going to be advertised on billboards in LA?
I am running a regional, public science program in Los Angeles and we are about to start a advertising campaign on billboards. In all seriousness, no nerdy puns please. I’m trying to come up with a good, two or three word slogan that an Angelino with a fifth grade education not only would understand but that would make learning about science seem desirable and sexy and relevant. I’ve thought about “think outside the equation” but it sounds too cliched. Any other ideas?
admin answers:
advertising on a billboard will probably cost you at least $1000 per month – especially anywhere near LA

Is my profession,outdoor advertising,(billboards) worth staying in after 12 years in it.?
admin answers:
Outdoor advertising is booming business.
The real question is what is the oportunity cost of leaving it based on your skill set. Are you walking away from a big severence package. Are you loosing medical coverage etc etc.
What are your prospects for replacing the income and the job satisfaction?

Billboard Easement legal? ?
My Condominium complex has an easement that allows a private company to keep an advertising billboard out front of our property. They’ve been advertising extreme gentlemen’s clubs just a few feet from our front door. When they update the sign, their workmen have a prime view into the homes of some of the residents. This easement was established by the builder before any of us lived here. Is this even legal, and how can we get rid of it?
According to the easement agreement the the grantee is required to supply my HOA with liability insurance, and for at least the last 3 years they have not done that. Wouldn’t that give us some legal standing? There’s also no documentation showing that the developer got 3/4 approval from the HOA board to initially establish the easement which is required by the CC&R’s.
Plus the easement details did not stipulate that the property would be used for a billboard.
admin answers:
You are not going to be able to get rid of the easement. It is too late for that. I am sure you knew about it before you bought the property.
You can try to buy them out, but it will take a lot of money. The company is making a lot of money on those billboards, they will not give that up.

Mary asks…
Has anyone rented a property to an advertising company?
I just bought a quarter-acre of land adjacent to an interstate off-ramp, and thought about leasing it to an advertising company for them to build a large billboard. I think it would be some great cash flow for me, if I was successful. Has anyone done this, or heard of anyone who has, and what was the result?
admin answers:
First step would be to file for the proper permits and find out whether or not you will be allowed to. And second would be to do an ethical gut check. Billboards are ugly to look at and most residential areas will fight tooth and nail to keep them out.
If you’re really dead set on the idea, get the zoning approval and erect the billboard with a Your Ad Here sign on it.
FYI, If that on-ramp land you bought is the one that just sold down the street from my house, I’ll make it my life’s mission to stop you from doing this since that would block my view of the sunset.

Advertising Comparisons of different Mediums?
I’m looking for a recent study on the effectiveness of different advertising mediums (ie Billboard, TV, Internet, etc..). I need it with actual statistics about how effective it is for audiences. Neglect cost. I only need effectiveness to inform. Thank you.
admin answers:
You can purchase the book, “Intermedia Dimensions” from Media Dynamics for $250. You might check a library to see if they have it. (A major city library is more likely to) This is a ligit source; Media Dynamics publication are used commonly by ad agencies.
Charles asks…
What’s your view of advertising and product placement in online games?
This is the kind of thing where a billboard in an auto racing game will flash a real product advertisement, or a bot will be carrying a can of a particular soft drink. Would your view change if allowing this kind of advertising made prices lower for gamers?
admin answers:
I do think it’s more creative when developers drop in their own satirical ads (like Spunk cola in GTA). But given the massive expensive of developing the truly impressive franchises, it’s understandable that game makers will get revenue through any possible avenue. And it’s their property, so who’s to criticize them?
In truth, it can actually contribute to the realism of a game, if properly done (I’m thinking of stuff like racing games).
It wouldn’t change my opinion if it lowered prices, other than perhaps to make the more okay with it. But honestly, I don’t see that happening. Developers have already determined that we’ll pay $45-$75 per title. Any extra income they can generate from a title isn’t going to be altruistically handed back to the consumer in the form of lower prices. It’s going to be given to shareholders in the form of higher returns.
Helen asks…
Does billboard advertising work?
admin answers:
I’d say so, Eddie, or they sure wouldn’t invest in doing it. I’d call it a form of “subliminal” advertising. IF you’re shopping for a particular item, that sign you saw at some point in time may just “click” with you. I KNOW those signs aren’t cheap, so I’d say they must work…

Nancy asks…
Is that legal to use “Einstein” pictures in vast numbers on advertising billboards?
In US or Euro, Asia,Africa,whereever.
admin answers:
Yes. Photos usually are not the property of the person pictured. Most likely they are the property of the person who commissioned them or took them. If a photograph of a person is taken in a public place it does not have any legal limitation other than it is the property of the person who took the photograph.
If the picture a person wants to use is owned by somebody permission is obtained and sometimes a commission,must be paid to that party.
Laws vary in each of the countries you listed. I know that copy right laws are weak or non-existent in Asia and Africa. Europe, not as a whole, is very similar to its application of copy right law as the U.S. is.

Why is a highly sexualised billboard preferred to a religious billboard?
Eight year old kids don’t need to see public billboards containing sexualised images/messages, but religions contain values such as love and forgiveness that are worth hearing about at any age.
… and yet either type of billboard is STILL prefered to one promoting secularism, which conveys such messages as to promote critical thinking?
Critical thinking immunises people against advertising bullcrap of _all_ types. Sexualised or not.
admin answers:
Sex sells and the objective of advertising on billboards is to promote products.
Laura asks…
How come girls give away their picture for free advertising use?
This girl I know is absolutely ecstatic after she posted her picture on a makeup website and some advertisers picked it up and put it on a billboard. All of her friends going gaga over how cool she is for being a model. UM, so the company is getting FREE advertising. Why doesn’t she care that she’s not getting any money from this?
Ugh. It’s like she doesn’t need money for compensation because what she wants most is to stroke her ego.
admin answers:
I think she’s silly for letting them steal her image and should demand money off them

Advertising Rental Property
March 19th, 2010
There are many different ways a landlord can advertise his / her rentals property. The kind of advertising that works best depends on numerous factors that include property characteristics, location, landlord’s budget, and whether he / she is in a hurry to rent. There are many combinations of advertising methods landlords and property managers use to achieve the best results, some of which are as under.
1. ‘For Rent’ Signs
The most common method of advertising is the putting up of a ‘For Rent’ sign, either in front of the building, or in one of the windows. A relatively cost-free method, it works best if a lot of foot and motor traffic goes past the building. It also helps if the building is as attractive as the rental unit.
2. Advertising in the Newspapers
As much of a tradition as ‘For Rent’ signs, newspaper ads are also available online, if the paper has an online version. Many potential tenants begin their search for a place to rent by scanning the classified ads in newspapers, while, out-of-towners can log on online to the local paper from wherever they are. Ads should always be placed in papers having many residential listings, as it has been found they work best.
And, they should be targeted to produce the right kind of prospective tenants i.e. if a landlord primarily rents out to college students, the best bet is to advertise in the campus newspaper or put up a ‘For Rent’ sign in the housing office. To play it safe, it is also a good idea to list the rental in a general newspaper, as well.
3. Neighborhood Flyers
As well, a landlord can post ads on neighbor hood public bulletin boards to be found at grocery stores, Laundromats or coffeehouses, complete with tear-off strips listing their phone number. However, if the property is upscale, this is not the best way to advertise for it, though there might be takers at the high-end gym down the street.
4. Listing Online
Online rental services have mushroomed like crazy in recent years, from national in scope, to regional. After finding a residential rental listing for your area, you can add your property to it.
5. Home Or Apartment Finding Services
Home or apartment-finding services are very popular in some areas, with landlords paying to list their properties, though sometimes it is the tenants themselves, who pay the fee when the unit is rented.
6. Spreading the Word
Small-time landlords instead of advertising widely and screening potential tenants, find it easier to market their rentals through word-of-mouth i.e. telling friends, colleagues, neighbours, and current tenants. After all, people already living on your property will invite decent neighbours. So, when a property becomes vacant, simply send a note around to every one, asking them to tell friends or relatives about the available apartment.
7. Real Estate Offices
Many real estate offices handle rentals, but of course, there is a fee involved.
8. Property Management Firms
Going through a property management firm is the easiest way to do it. They handle advertising, showing tenants around, as well as, selecting tenants, collecting rents, and interacting with residents during tenancies (handling repairs, etc. etc.). A paid service, it is for landlords with large rental properties and no time to spare.
Next Steps
Once, the advertising has been done, the next step is to create a rental application and select a tenant. When advertising vacancies and selecting and rejecting applicants, read up on the Fair Housing Act, so as to avoid any inadvertent lawsuits. Evaluate prospective tenants by thoroughly checking out their rental applications, legal residency forms, and tenant consent forms for contacting references, performing credit checks and criminal and background checks.
The only way to avoid unnecessary litigation is by screening prospective tenants and conducting background checks. Simply visit www.e-renter.com for tenant screening and background check services.
