I tell every outdoor advertising sales person that calls on me "no" to billboards. Besides being a blight on the American landscape they are the least effective advertising for any destination. The majority of travelers have already selected their destination before they leave their driveway. At 70 miles per hour drivers don't retain the message anyway. Also, states like Vermont, Maine and Hawaii, who have banned billboards, have not seen any decline in tourism. Scenic America has been working hard for years to get rid of America's "litter on a stick".Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857984884848950094noreply@blogger.com
