Billboard Ads For Duct Cleaning Business

Chicago is the largest city in the state of Illinois. In fact, Chicago, Illinois, is the third largest city in America. The city has many nicknames "Windy City ", "a city that works" and "City of Big Shoulders." The Chicago River of Chicago helped grow from a small trading post for an important center for trade and shipping.

The French settled along the Chicago River in 1696, but abandoned the area some years later due to raids by Native Americans. The first permanent settler in Chicago was not native of the country, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, who built a farm at the mouth of the Chicago River in the 1780's. In 1795, following the Northwest Indian War, some Native Americans gave the Chicago area to the United States for a military post in the Treaty of Greenville.

If you are in a high traffic area such as a freeway you will gain as many as 1 million impressions per month in a larger city. I know that sounds impressive but impressions do not make the phone ring every time. When somebody is looking to have their air ducts cleaned they will typically come to this conclusion while they are in their home. In my opinion the chances of them remembering your billboard is slim to none. What they will most likely do is either look online for in a phone book.

Speaking from experience I strongly recommend against billboard advertising if you are a smaller air duct cleaning company. This type of advertising is just not cost effective compared to other advertising options available. What billboard advertising is best at is supporting a brand that is already developed. That is why you see large beverage and phone companies dominating the billboard market. They already have their brand and now they are just trying to solidify that brand and stay in front of their customers. If you do not want to take my word for it be sure to ask similar small businesses before you sign on the dotted line for expensive billboard advertising campaign.

Cleaning your air ducts in your home is vitally important, as the dirt residing there is not only an irritant, but can also be hazardous for your health.
