Week at the Museum Billboard

Good day,

This week we found a local museum billboard at a great location on the interstate that in desperate need of repair.  We spoke with the State’s person in charge of sign permits to obtain the correct specifications of the sign and make certain a permit actually exists.  Next week we will set up a meeting with the curator of the Museum with the idea to exchange our maintaining the sign and providing the Museum’s vinyl in exchange for sharing the sign and stacking our advertisers as well as the Museum on their billboard.  We must assure the Museum that the content of our advertisers is in good taste but at the same time not limit our company to a narrow market of advertisers.

Until next time keep looking for opportunities!

Old Billboards along the Highway…

Hello,

This week I have been working on locations that have old signs along the Highways and attempting to check with the Department of Transportation for previous permits at these locations.  If they exist I will be working with property owners to obtain ground leases and start to rehabilitate the billboard.  In many states you must check how much modification and repair is allowed on an old sign.  Some states may only allow you a 30% improvement in your sign per year and it is important that you check.

Best success to all,

Bob

Considering the Outdoor Billboard business in 2012

Happy New Year…..

My name is Bob and if you have an interest and are considering the outdoor billboard business I would say go for it.  I did and have no regrets.

I have been in a number of succesful businesses in the past 25 years and I will say that their are many exciting benifits to the billboard business that many other businesses do not posess.  One of my businesses had incredible overhead and employed 40 + people, and from an owners perspective this was full of many chalenges that consumed much of my and my managers time.  The benifit to the billboard business is their are very few cost items and very few if any employees needed.  Like anything worthwile it comes with hard work and dedication to be successful and profitable.

Thanks for taking a look and look for my post next week.
