The Power of Mobile Billboards.
Mobile billboards lend themselves to photos of the candidate, to slogans, and to publicizing a URL. They are inexpensive and so a campaign can afford to saturate the market - hitting each potential voter multiple times - familiarity with the candidate breeds comfort. Mobile billboards are excellent for building name recognition. This medium also lends itself to "persuasion by repetition" campaigns in which all the billboards echo one theme. Mobile billboards are a perfect medium for a political campaign:
- 90% of potential voters in your state use the highways. Nationwide, 250 million Americans (190 million potential voters), regularly use our highways. The highways are America's universal meeting ground - mobile billboards is a medium that reaches virtually every man, woman and child. A universal medium for
universal suffrage.
- Each mobile billboard set (one on each side of the trailer and one on the rear) will deliver one million impressions per month, so several hundred will deliver billions of impressions over one year. To match that number of impressions, and to reach people from every facet of American life, a campaign would have to advertise in every edition of virtually every magazine. This medium
offers a terrific opportunity to get a huge number of people thinking about your candidate and his issues.
- People notice mobile ads. People in cars are alert, not dozing, and they are often bored - mobile ads are
their entertainment. Studies show that 91% of people notice mobile ads, and further, 35% of people study them closely.

- The ads are moving so they catch the eye, and they are always being viewed in a new location so they are fresh and never
fade into the landscape.
- Mobile ads are viewed by people in cars - pedestrians and people looking out of offices or houses are a small part
of the total audience. 89% of the viewers are people in cars traveling the opposite direction who see the left-hand side of the
semi-trailer, 7% are people traveling in the same direction and who catch up to the semi-trailer, viewing its back end, and only 4% see
the right-hand side of the semi-trailer.
- There are several keys to the design of an effective mobile ad. To ensure that it attracts attention, it needs to be a bold
color. Most semi-trailers are white and a white ad would not attract attention. A mobile ad can only have four or five words in
very large type or else it is not readable. Our brief slogans have an immediate impact and are easily remembered.
You can change people's minds.
- The CPM (cost per thousand impressions) is the lowest of any medium.
- Coupled with a dedicated fundraising web site, they can actually generate more income for the campaign than what they cost. A double hit... introduce the candidate and his theme to swing voters, and raise money from the faithful.
