We all have had a very tough year with the overall economy in our state. I believe next year will be a much better year as we move forward. It sure seems the downturn has at the least stabilized. As we move into the holidays it is a the time of year for lots of folks to be cheerful, spiritual, entertaining and festive. This is a great time to have your companies name in front of the traveling public.

Now is the time to contact us regarding your holiday advertising campaign for the holiday season.

Check our website and this blog for some special holiday South Carolina outdoor advertising pricing.

I look forward to serving your outdoor advertising needs.

Public Service Message from Revelation Outdoor

Outdoor believes this is a way for us to give back something to the communities, and we are proud to be part of the Sober or Slammer campaign in South Carolina.

We hope that this campaign will make those who do have adult beverages think about what they are doing and have a designated driver so that more kids are not killed like these!

Our hearts go out to the parents of these children and to everyone that has lost a loved one when it could have been prevented.

The article was about Venezuelan advertising agencies and how the Hugo Chavez socialism of government

Freedom of Advertising?

instituted a “GAG LAW”.  What this means is that all advertising will be censored.  The article states that most of the ad talent has left to go somewhere else for good reason.  Some in Venezuela are questioning if advertising will continue to exist in their county as the government is taking over and can revoke a license if they do not like what you are creating.

When I read this article, I began to wonder what it would be like to have our government censoring outdoor advertising, radio, TV, blogs, internet and print.  How would something like this affect all of us in the advertising business?  Would the government decide that they do not like billboards and just say take them all down and go find something else to do?  Or maybe they would censor who can advertise on a billboard.

I know there are many that would like to censor a lot of things they do not like.  I can sometimes agree with that except that we have the best country and freedoms in the world, and I for one am not willing to give that up.  I may not always like the advertisement, but I will stand next to them for the right of freedom of speech!

Businesses that are sellers of small ticket items should benefit.  The tax cut will put a small amount extra in the paychecks of a lot of working people.  Most likely most of this little bit extra will be spent.  Retailers, fast food and movie rentals are a few that could benefit from this tax cut.

First time home buyers can get a $8,000.00 tax credit if they buy a home.  Home builders and realtors can benefit from this tax credit if they advertise to this demographic.  As we all know they must have good credit to get financing and a down payment as well.  There are buyers out there and they need to know where they can find that first home of their dreams.  Obviously this will not revive the housing market by itself but it is a bright spot if you target these buyers with outdoor advertising.

College students will be able to use 529 college savings to purchase a computer, software and internet access.  The winners will be the sellers of computers and software and the with students being very mobile there is no better way to get your message out than with outdoor advertising.  Outdoor can target the area’s where students live, drive to class and the campus too!

As I begin to think about what should be covered in this blog my mind explodes with ideas. Advertising is such a diverse and creative media providing so many streets and avenues to explore. Primarily, outdoor advertising will be the topic of discussion, however out of home media and others will also be covered. Outdoor advertising has many types of billboards that are seen beside our highways and byways. Billboards are large, billboards are small, billboards are electronic, billboards have lights, billboards are reflective, billboards are posters, billboards are different sizes, billboards are out of home media, and more.

Other topics of discussion will be the creative art for billboards. What is good art, what is not, color, photos, and other creative ideas. What markets in South Carolina have outdoor advertising coverage and the demographics of those Micropolitan markets. What is a Micropolitan market? Outdoor advertising news will be included when new ideas in out of home media are reported and items that are affecting our industry should be discussed.

I hope you will get involved in this blog and make comments so that others will benefit from your experiences. I look forward to questions and comments as we move rapidly into 2009 and all it has to offer the outdoor advertising community.
