• Is this a franchise?
  
  Answer: No, there is no franchise that you need to buy. You are buying our inexpensive starter kit!
  
  

• What is a starter kit?
  
  Answer: It consists of a step-by-step full manual showing you all you need to know to build your own Bench Advertising Business, Junior-Billboard Business and Bulletin-Billboard Business. The manual includes blueprints, land lease agreements, sales agreements and over 100 pages in seventeen chapters that include all you need to know for each of the above business opportunities. Also included is my 30 years of knowledge in the industry!
  
  
•  Where do I put these Bus BenchAds or billboards?
  
  Answer:  The minimum  amount of time your advertiser will be able to advertise is 30-60 days on the Junior-Billboards or 6 to 12 months on the BenchAds and 12 to 36 months on the Bulletin-Billboards. Any one of the above opportunities will give you alot of extra time. You will be able to cover a 2-hour drive radius of your home. Most billboard and benchad companies on average cover a 15 county area. This is alot of potential area for you!
  
  
• Does your starter-kit show me how to build these?
  
  Answer: Yes...we provide you with blueprints, illustrations, diagrams etc. The BenchAds or Junior-Billboards are not difficult to build, the Bulletin-billboard however is another matter. Because of it's size you may want a sign company to install it. It is not uncommon to locate a prime location, obtain a land property lease with the owner, obtain the  city and state permit, locate several advertisers and then build your large bulletin-billboard! Actually with the two advertisers signed sale agreements you could go to the bank and borrow against the paper. This strategy may also be used for the BenchAds or Junior-Billboards. which cost to build substantially less.
  
  
• I thought outdoor billboards had zoning regulations!
  
  Answer: They do! Before 1965, outdoor billboards and sign were under little restrictions and were put up everywhere. Thus creating a visual mess in many areas. Also since there were so many up, it drove the price down!  Now building codes and zoning regulations control what size of a sign is allowed, in which zoning areas, how close they can be placed  to another structure etc.
  
  The  state, county and communities, towns or cities each have their own regulations. Some communities do not allow them. Many others allow them but under their regulations. The bus Benches (which provide a service to their community) and Junior-Billboards, due to their smaller size are accepted in more communities than the larger standardized billboards.
  
  The outdoor advertising industry is glad to see some form  of regulations over billboards. Just like a housing contractor has building regulations, covering how they may build a home. Your Starter-Kit has a chapter on how to work with and understand zoning regulations.
