    When I had my used car lot I had a billboard advertising my business that was located at the busiest location in Palm Beach County. I paid 1200 per month and when I decided to try and get out of the lease for it I sold the contract to a major dealer for 7500 dollars. What you are trying to do is worth far more than 100 dollars per month.

    I like that speedo picture. If it is electronic that is the same reading you get at 80, 90 or 100.

    Likely none of them,your projected profits wouldn't interest them
    on a 70/30 split. Need a clue who 30% would be ?:biggrin_25524:

    So, what would a fair payment be for a space 2' x 3' on the back of a truck be on a monthly basis? In other words, how much do I need to pay to get a decal on your truck(s)? Thanks.

    2'x3', on a mobile advertising platform hitting every demographic nationwide? I'd say $500 per month is a good start. It sure would be a lot less expensive then paying for newspaper advertising or highway billboards.

    No, that wouldn't be fair to them plus I'd have 5000 people calling them tomorrow. I will say that it is a national company.

    I have a question for the OP AKA JustAsking. Do you work for or affiliated with one of the decal companies. Ok I dont like sugar coating anything so here it is, So you want truck drivers to advertise for big companies free and you collect big bucks from these companies

    [FONT=&quot]I don't work for anyone. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a business opportunity for advertisers to place their ads on trucks. In order to do that, I need to know the realistic amount of money a truck owner would accept to allow a decal on his truck. And I need to determine whether an advertiser would be willing to pay that amount. Clearly $100 per month is too little for truck owners. But what is the right amount? Too low and you won't allow it. Too high and the advertiser won't pay it. What do you think the right amount is? Thanks.
