Here's something I tried. It would probably work better if the background wasn't white, but I can't be everywhere............
lmao gino.. that van. So classy

Quit buggin' me
No time to lay this out but what about a sea of bland white vans fading off into the horizon with your wrapped van right in the middle standing out with a glow that fades the white vans around it a little more?

You think so? I got inspired to do this because PROWRAPS has generated 10's of THOUSANDS off of his. besides.. 1100 a month isn't going to kill us.
When it comes to marketing.. you never know if something is going to work...until you spend the money to do it.

Still way too much going on for a billboard. It's gotta be short and sweet. One quick message. You only have a moment to communicate.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you considering billboard advertising? I really feel that billboards are only effective for larger companies who can afford to use billboards as a backup to a larger marketing plan. Billboards are not good brochures. They are great for reinforcing a brand or product... but not much more than that.
Depending on the billboard you are considering renting space on, I feel your money would likely be much better spent renting a giant box truck for a few months, wrapping that with the design on your billboard mockup and driving it around town all day, every day.

Neato's idea is the best in the thread. However, my issue with Neato's concept is that it's maybe a little too abstract for a billboard. Being in the vehicle wrap business, I know how many calls a day we get from people who want to get paid to drive around with someone else's stuff on their car. I don't know who ever thought that was a good idea... but I'm tired of telling people we don't do that. This billboard concept might create more buzz from people you don't want buzz from. I really feel your money would be better spent in other areas. Direct mail to new businesses, box truck wrapped and on the road, etc.

I agree with Andrew.. I think one reason Chris' is working so well is the location--it's on a major highway that MANY of his target clients drive on everyday, thus creating brand awareness. Then one day when they're Googling around they see his name and bam.
Either way, the thing's gotta be short & sweet.

Done.
I wouldn't even put a photo on it.

Remember, take everything PROWRAPS says with a grain of salt.
Scratch that.
You'll probably need a spoonful.

LMAO. So true Andrew.
but yeah....I was talking to him on the phone a couple weeks back, and he beeped over to someone who was calling about his billboard
No seriously though. I was always wanting to to try doing a billboard. We've grown so much in the past 2 years... that i think we can handle anything it does... or doesn't throw at us.
I think That chris.. the az chris is right. Branding is powerful.. I might go much simpler.. we'll see tomorrow.. when i feel like working on it again.. i told them i cant have it till tomorrow..so i have a bit more time.
thanks again to everyone who put time into this.

how about something like "meet your new best friend." and that is colorado signs.
I agree that all you need is a web url. I noticed a coro sign on the corner not far from my house. it was using a stupid font with a shadow and had a pair of boxing gloves the word "boxing" and a phone number. I keep trying to take a picture of it so I can call when I get home but can't do it for some reason. obviously if I tried a little I could remember the number... but if it was longcityboxing.com or something super simple i would probably know more by now and maybe even setting up a lesson or match. URL's don't have to be short just easy to remember. even borderline tards can remember the name of our city and boxing if they are interested but 10 random digits... and the area code is not even ours.
I think billboards are a good idea. I also like the idea of direct marketing. I think once your billboard has been up, 2 weeks, send out a direct mail piece to help people remember and if they are near a phone (at the office right? ) you will probably get a call.
It would be interesting if you follow this post up once you get things going and let us know how it has or hasn't worked for you.
