Roadside advertising - Can you do it?

[river_thames]

Going on an advertising mission this month, and was considering something like the below. Pretty common to see, but I can't really tell if they're legal, or illegal but tolerated or what.

 

Any thoughts or experiences?

 

[Mark Bolam]

That won’t work, I’m getting ‘number not recognised’.

[dumper]

Always thought a board outside the job was best these always look a bit fishy

[Mark Bolam]

Aye, board outside a nice job is fine.

These just look desperate.

[Will C]

That is missing the address of the local pikey site. Boards outside of job do work, we used to have card holders on them years ago, a few jobs came of it 👍

Give the all things arb podcast a listen, I remember the bloke from Thor had a successful leafleting campaign.

If you are driving by the chances are you forget the phone number by the time you pull over somewhere safe to call.... if you are in the market to buy that day of course, otherwise all you will remember is maybe the name.

 

Can you remember any number from "wasps destroyed" boards you see all the time (I'll help, start 07 )

 

Board outside the job site and maybe leave a card or leaflet with the customer ("Someone is bound to ask who did this, do you mind if I leave a couple of fliers for them").

 

Park up your van for a morning brew somewhere leafy for the School runs maybe.

@JBH Good shout, listening now. Quite inspiring really

 

@Steven P Good idea about parking the van for an hour somewhere

 

Thanks guys good feedback
