Billboard Advertising
To recap the article in last month's newsletter, the MBA has signed a digital billboard contract. Here are a few facts:
  • The 14 ft. X 48 ft. digital billboard is on I-95 Northbound near the Essington Exit (Motel 6)
  • The leased time slot would show at least 1,250 times per day (8 seconds per minute for 24 hours/day)
  • The billboard will be seen by 100,000+ commuters per day

The MBA is pleased to offer Media businesses the opportunity to purchase one of the available digital billboard weeks for a reduced cost of $800 per week. Each business would work directly with Steen in their plans for their billboard design and message to be displayed with some light Media-branding.  We hope that you will consider joining us in this new and exciting endeavor.
