Billboard
space is subject to availability so it is best
to reserve the dates you have in mind well
ahead of time.
A non-refundable 50% deposit is
required to reserve exact dates in advance.
30 day rental $750.00 less 50 %
discount = $375.00*
*rental
doe not include any copy changes @ $10.00
each.
Prices
quoted above DO NOT
include any FREE Copy Changes.
Note: We reserve the right to accept or reject any ad copy
for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
*it's
a changeable copy billboard - letters are hand
assembled and placed on the billboard and
takes usually an average of about an hour to
do the entire process of assembling the
message, put it up and when its run is over
then the letters must be put away back in
order).
Note: purchasing additional copy
changes and having your message change
frequently (as we understand 20,000 plus
vehicles pass by our billboard on a daily
basis according to the Maine State Department
Of Transportation) can create even better results from
your advertising – we can help you in the
creation of additional messages.

Get Our Cheapest Rate! Offered For Our Picking
The Times To Run Your Ad! <----
We
offer a cheaper rate if you
purchase time in advance and allow us to run
your message(s) within a certain time frame.
e.g. If you purchase $224.00 worth of ad time
in advance we will run your messages over a
period of and/or within 60 to 90 days. The
consecutive run for your message is usually 2
- 4 days. Rental price of billboard figures at
$16.00 per day PLUS the copy change charge of
$10.00 deducted from your advance payment of
$224.00.
COPY
CHANGE CHARGE: Add the copy change charge
@ $10.00 each (labor) to the billboard rental
price. You
may have as many copy changes as you wish
(once a day even) but I contract this service
out and they have to stop by every time a copy
change is made so there is no discount on the
copy changes.
LINES
OF COPY AVAILABLE: You have a maximum of 4
lines of copy to use with 25 to 28 characters
and spaces per line.
The actual number of characters and
spaces will depend upon the width of the
letters in the copy like an "I" or a
"W" etc.. It is best not to crowd
the lines anyway - it makes for easier
reading.
"A
PAID AD" MUST APPEAR ON ALL POLITICAL
ADS and/or ads that are not clearly sponsored
by someone, group etc. and/or of a
controversial nature must be figured into your
copy total.
This decision we reserve for ourselves.
The
two yellow bottom lines* on our billboard is
reserved for our use
for our various businesses, located at: 103
Bridge Street, (P.O.B. 300), West Farmington,
Maine 04992-0300 Telephone 207 778-6400 24/7.
Occasionally we rent the entire billboard
under special circumstances. We offer
"Business News" which we legally
advertise on our billboard as an advertisement
for our services. E.g. “New member of the
Maine Commerce and Trade Association…”
similar to a Chamber Of Commerce. Ask us for
more information if you are interested in
joining and being featured on our billboard
and website.

RELATED ADVERTISING SERVICES: For $35.00 per year we will not only REGISTER a web
site name for you (as we are authorized agents
