Welcome to Billboard Country

With time, technology grows and carries new thoughts to the market. Advanced technology not limited to the paper print, these can be directly printed from the computer and do not require any intermediate medium such as negatives or photo plates.

Grabbing customer attention and push promotions are major motives in competitive markets. A competitive business wants to get attention and the public's interest. Without good marketing tools, your business is as good as toast.

One effective way to gain interest is full color posters. It will enhance the appearance of prints and attract people. Full color poster printing is inexpensive and can produce large quantities of posters.

Before any design, layout, or catchy phrase, it is the color that catches people’s attention first. Perfect color combinations adorn the feeling of advertisement material. Here are some quick tips to help you with colors:

• Choose a light background.

Light background makes the text more visible, more evident and makes them easy to read. More clear text attracts audience. It gives perfect feel to the advertisement. Dark backgrounds distract the audience.

• Limit the colors to two or three.

Limited numbers of color give proper look to the posters. Two to three colors is okay for the posters. It will help you to convey the right message to your target audience. Don’t overuse colors. In fact, monochromatic posters present a more balanced effect.

• Check the color wheel.

Perfect color combination is essential for printing posters. Make good selection and give different look to your advertisements. An attractive poster has always something to do with good color combinations. A color wheel will guide you to create one. Color wheel will make good color contrasts. Or, you could opt to use adjacent colors to maintain a consistent scheme. This will make your design look uniformed.

At the edge of the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth, Lima, Peru, receives almost no rainfall. About 700,000 people have no access to clean water for drinking or bathing. Another 600,000 of the city's 7.5 million residents rely on cisterns for their water, which must be filled by pumps or by hand and cleaned regularly.

But Lima's Pacific Coast location experiences humidity of more than 90 percent on summer days, from December to February. So engineers from Peru's University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) have devised a way to turn that humid air into usable water. Last December, they erected a billboard in the Bujama District of Lima that by early March had produced 9450 liters (about 2500 gallons) of water.

The idea came about because UTEC was facing a slump in enrollment as the new semester approached; the engineering department wanted a way to attract more engineering students to the university. They went to Peruvian ad agency Mayo Publicidad, and the partnership of engineers and marketers crafted an advertisement that would provide a very visible demonstration of the university's engineering projects. The water-collecting billboard was born.

Electricity from the city's power lines runs the five condensers inside the billboard. Like the condenser in your home air conditioner, the ones in the UTEC billboard are cooler than the air outside. When air contacts the cooled surfaces of the condensers, the air also cools, and the water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water. After reverse-osmosis purification, the water flows down into a 20-liter storage tank at the base of the billboard. The billboard generates about 96 liters of water each day, and a simple faucet gives local residents access to the water. UTEC has not yet announced whether the water will be available for free, but the billboard reportedly cost only about $1200 to install.

This is not the first attempt to pull clean water out of thin air. In 2011, French company Eole installed a wind turbine in Abu Dhabi, which the company claims generates more than 1400 liters of water each day. The WMS1000 is 24 meters (about 78 feet) tall, and its 13-meter rotor turns at up to 100 rpm to run a 30-kilowatt generator. This in turn powers a cooling compressor inside the turbine. An intake pulls air into the compressor, and moisture condenses out as the air cools. The water runs down into a purification and storage tank at the base of the turbine.

The turbine needs winds of at least 15 mph to generate enough power for the compressor. In a desert climate with an average temperate of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and average relative humidity of about 30 percent, the WMS1000 generates about 350 liters of water a day. In humid coastal climates, production increases to about 1200 liters a day. Adding a solar power unit to the turbine could increase output by a few hundred liters more.

Eole designed the turbine for remote communities of fewer than 5000 people, but when it launched the WMS1000 commercially, in 2012, the price tag for a single turbine was about $660,000, well beyond the budget of most small communities in developing countries.

Back in Lima, the UTEC engineering department and Mayo Publicidad may have found a way to offset the cost barrier: advertising.

Since the billboard's installation, UTEC reports a 28 percent increase in enrollment. Results like that may attract the attention of private companies looking for new ways to advertise. The city of Lima and other urban areas, such as Cairo, Egypt, suffer the same lack of potable water as remote villages, and an advertising-funded solution that taps into an existing electrical infrastructure may work well there. UTEC has not yet announced plans to install more billboards in Lima or to make the technology commercially available elsewhere, but the project has started new discussions about how to provide access to clean water.

Worldwide, the World Health Organization estimates, about a billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Lack of clean water is a leading cause of cholera and other diseases that cause diarrhea. Perhaps UTEC's idea can make the situation a little better, one sign at a time.

If you live in New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco, there's a good chance you've come across one of several mysterious billboards in recent weeks with controversial statements like the one above. Other billboards have touted messages like "The Internet should be regulated" and "Artists need to play by the rules." Now, we finally know who is behind them: BitTorrent.

The peer-to-peer service revealed in a blog post Tuesday that the billboards are intended to "remind the world what's at stake on the world wide web." This week, BitTorrent is crossing out one or two words on the billboards to change the messages to reflect the company's true beliefs.

"With the reveal, we are showing people that things don't actually have to be like that," Matt Mason, VP of marketing for BitTorrent, told Mashable in an interview, referring to the original bleak messages. "If you look at BitTorrent's technology and protocols, things can be a different way."

Here are two shots — before and after — of the billboard messages, courtesy of Mashable Editor in Chief Lance Ulanoff, who spotted them on the street:

Mason says the billboards represent the company's first major marketing campaign and are intended to "re-introduce" the brand to consumers. "For so long, the word 'BitTorrent' has been used as a placeholder for piracy," he says. "We wanted to start saying loudly that we are a respectable tech company."

As part of that effort, the startup and its marketing team have worked to partner with content companies and better educate businesses and consumers on the legal uses for its technology. BitTorrent is also building new products like a secure chat tool to help users avoid data breaches.

So why would a digital company choose to go with a billboard campaign for its first big marketing effort? In part, it's precisely because it's counter-intuitive.

"It is the antithesis of what people would expect," Mason says. "We wanted to do something that was very visible and very easy for people to see and understand, and that would be billboards."

BitTorrent has bought about 30 billboards to date, according to Mason, and plans to continue the campaign through the end of the year. Mason would not disclose how much BitTorrent is spending on the campaign.

There are some events that come in everyone’s life which are important whether it is birthday, anniversary, or business promotion or something else. For me it was my company’s business promotion which was organized in a banquet hall where outside it there were some large banners hung for the promotion of my company but all this I organized one day before my company’s promotion.

It was my first venture into a business and I wanted it to be a huge event and wanted its name on large banners but for it I needed some good banners printed by wide format laser printer because I did not want to compromise with the quality of printing. The material which I chose for printing was billboard vinyl banners which are known for their flexibility having the qualities like black-backed, anti-mildew, UV resistant and also flame retardant.

After this the second thing was about printing. I wanted it totally with the brand quality promoting my company’s name without having any blurs. So I wanted fine printing and for this banners should be printed by wide format printers. I got it done by http://www.billboardflex.com. My company’s banners were looking good. So after getting all done banners were hung and glued on different places.

My company’s promotion went all good and I realized that billboard banners are right medium for outside marketing campaigns and it is also available at affordable price. You can order online whether you want in custom shapes and sizes or normal ones.

In today’s digital age there are several digital mediums of marketing and advertising available whether one does it by e-mail marketing, e-publishing or on social sites and others. Advertising and marketing are very necessary for promoting anything whether it relates to any business and we also are seeing many other mediums taking place in the market that is called ‘experimental methods of marketing and advertising’ that depend on one’s creative aspect and different point of view.

These are all digital mediums and methods of marketing and promotions but what about the time when these digital methods are not so popular and perhaps people might not know about it or perhaps they are not accessible to all; whatever the reason but what about time the time when these digital methods were not used.

There might be, when not digitals, only some methods of marketing and promotions: mouth marketing or communication and vinyl banners of different types. Mouth marketing is an old and conventional method for promoting one’s business and a very useful and trusted one.

It works effectively supposed some friends or others come to your shop or store and get impressed by the product quality that you are selling then your store name spreads widely when they say to others about it and gradually it would spread to everywhere.

On the other hand banners are also very useful way of marketing and promoting and one of the widely used advertising and promoting method whether it for business, individual or any other thing, wherever you put the vinyl banner it is noticed by everyone. It depends on one that how a banner is put and where it is put and how big and small it is and some other factors also work such as what kind of quality banner is or UV resistant or not.

They can be used for ceremonies, events, birthdays, weddings, specials and others.

So in this digital age where many new methods and techniques are being developed and invented for advertising and marketing, vinyl banners are still hit for it.
