Do billboards encourage you to by or try?

no

I've never bought something because of a billboard, although that is there purpose. Some townships on Long Island, NY have outlawed them for that very reason, they look like ****.

The only purpose I see for them, is when you've been on the road for hours and need something to do other than look at trees. Read the billboards and all other signs, a little known secret to staying awake on long road trips.

And the best billboard I ever saw was a police officer holding a radar gun and the caption read;

" smile, you're on radar".

Years ago we were travelling cross country and 500 miles away from Wall, South Dakota we started seeing signs for "Wall Drug." We went from being interested to being disgusted to finally stopping in Wall and checking out the damn store. It was a tourist trap, but a fun stop in the middle of nowhere.

Other than that I pretty much ignore billboards unless I'm on Sunset Blvd. or I'm stuck in traffic.

I did see a Billboard that made me laugh though.

Travelling from Cleveland to Columbus OH, I saw a billboard advertising a Bible Outlet Store.

You have to buy it to try it. If people didn't buy the product the companies wouln't be encouraged to continually put up the billboards.

billboards doesnt actually make a goood effect on the environment. they just keep on dirtirizing the surroundings.

they are out there for the same reason ads are in paper. to get the product visible to the consumers eye.

i dont think that they have ever impacted me either though. i always ignore them lol.

No, but they get my six-year-old to beg for stuff all the time. Too bad for the companies that I control the purse-strings.

No. My natural need to spend all my money before I die, so my loved ones will have nothing to fight over, is what encourages me to buy, buy, buy.

I think they help for some people but it is still useless.

it encourages me to try
