AutoDealer: Latest trend in advertising?

AutoDealer: Latest trend in advertising?, originally uploaded by shersteve.

Is the start of a new trend: to use a steam roller to advertise that you are selling automobiles?

Or is the construction simply hindering their operation?

This is located on Route 116 in Smithfield, RI.

School Bus Advertising??

During the discussion on the 'pay-to-ride' program, Councilman LeBlanc asked the Committee if the busing contracts had already been signed, and if advertising was included in the contracts.

Chairman Jeff Roy responded that no, the contracts were signed already and do not include advertising. The sub committee working on advertising revenues have not completed their work so while it is not in there yet, it does not preclude it being there in the future.

Advertising on school buses?

What kind?
Would this be advertising inside the bus targeted to the students?
Would this be advertising outside the bus targeted to the community?

What would be advertised?

I don't know if the money this would generate would be worth it.


What do you think?

1. Should there be advertising on school buses?
2. What restrictions, if any, would you put on a program like this?
