So, I have just received permission to post advertising banners along the rail space outside our office. Our building is on a MAJOR thoroughfare, with lots of traffic all day. We are the only business space that has a wall parallel to the street, 3rd floor, except the floor below us. See attached pic. I am going to hang 2 banners, one on each side, the main street, and facing out. The space of the 3 glass panels where it will be hung is about 11 X 3 1/2.
So the ads are for what you ask?
Some of the work I do is to recruit new agents to sell my product, which is payment solutions for businesses, mostly to accept credit cards, but not limited to ATM's, and other types of payment acceptance. This is important because the audience I'm trying to reach should be at least semi smart, it's finance - we are trying to avoid rift raft if possible. So something like "We Are Hiring, Come on Up!" will not work, unless you can convince me otherwise. So banner #1, facing the main vein, needs to recruit agents. It is a residual business, and can make some good scratch over time so I was also thinking the, "freedom" route. Also, I do an opportunity presentation at the same day and time each week...and am contemplating on whether I want that on the ad or not...people who travel up and down the street might get curious over time...
Ad# 2, which will probably go on the front side of the building, should simply be to sell our services...Like "Do you need to accept credit cards for your business or looking for a lower rate?" While this is direct, I'm looking for something clever, maybe perhaps to take advantage of people sitting in traffic who have nothing better to do than look at my signs while they are on their way home from their 9-5.
Be clever, be creative. My partners and I will look over the serious replies and assuming we can get at least 10 serious suggestions for each sign, I will personally send the 2 winners a $10 Starbucks gift card, and post a pic with your ad for you to admire for all eternity.
Thanks in advance and.....
GO!
