Regarding this thread: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=14919.0;topicseen

We in Florida need to figure out where the best location for a billboard would be.  I'm thinking somewhere along either (or both) the I-75 & I-95 corridors, and perhaps I-10 and I-4. 

These have already begun to have a significant impact in interest generated for the program, and I would like to get them setup here ASAP.

They move every month or so, depending on when the billboards rent.  We get them so cheaply because the billboard is not otherwise rented.  Try to figure out where is best for each of your upcoming venues...and then stayed tuned for more details.

With our ranges spread all over the state, and perhaps only Manatee to call home, I-75, or I-275  south bound in Tampa/St. Pete would be the best place to start.

I agree with Willorith, but also think I-75 farther south (Charlotte, Lee, Collier counties) might not be bad either - the drive to Myakka is still manageable. If we can get people to the website, we can work on getting them to an event, where-ever. Plus, if they're down here, maybe I'll actually see them! LOL

I-4 is a great east-west roadway too, but they might be overpowered by theme park boards.  :wb:   I-10 in the Northern part of the state?   That's part of the FL challenge - everything is so spread out! They're beautiful boards though....

If you heard the shot, you weren't the target.

For the east coast I'd recommend I95 near Jacksonville below the 295 bypass heading north.  This would catch I10 too.  Although it might not catch as much intrastate traffic, it would get the word out to travellers from many states.

We should target Manatee.   It gives us 12 events a year and it has a good sized line.

My suggestion is that at least two of the locations be on #75, one south of the Alico Road exit (the exit for the RSW airport), and the other north of the Daniels Parkway exit ( the other exit for the RSW airport).

There is a tremendous amount of traffic on that stretch of Route #75, and we should be looking for market penetration.

Just my two cents.

Even US 19 would be good - lots of traffic at a slower speed and with traffic lights - captive audience.
