Tony Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Might seem a small trivial thing but we had our name down to sponsor the roundabout next to the centre but the waiting list was long and we where far down the queue.... Well today we got it This roundabout is a car park twice a day with four routes from it so having adverts is a great visibility gain.

Tony Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Awesome, bet STS will love that! It's going to go down like a tonne of congealed milk on a hot summer day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 When i read that i thought it was another gag, but what a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thats a blinding idea... how much space do you get to put a board up then.? P.S dont forget the flowers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually see them closing that centre down soon, I bet they've lost a lot of work already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 We can have four boards so one for each entry, they have to be low level and the actual dimensions i'm not sure. In addition they have to comply with highway regulations, meaning they cannot have anything on them that might be deemed as an instruction ie: no arrows or prompts like turn left now.

So what are you going to have on the signs so they know where you are if there can't be directions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are you going to have on the signs so they know where you are if there can't be directions? All the roundabouts round here that are sponsored just have a small sign with the company name and contact details...... Sounds like a good move there Tony, I've always wondered does that now make you responsible for the gardening on the roundabout (or is it not that kind of roundabout, I've forgotten what it looks like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don't think there's much on it, maybe a few weeds! Just looked on google, there's a few flowers in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazz33 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 and i bet a pothole is next ......... Speed bumps Yeah speed bumps with WIM plasterd all over them.. Just be carefull as having the boards on the roundabout near the "other" tyre place,it could put a few noses out of joint,and the boards could get damaged or stolen.. Still i think its a fantastic idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still i think its a fantastic idea.. Possibly not as STS is one of the companies that is working for WIM doing the geos/tyres online, although obviously not that centre. It wouldn't do much for their reputation if they damaged the signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I would think Central tyres have targets to hit in order to get bonus''s so they wouldn't be overly chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
