Recent innovations in graphic technology have made "mural theme bus advertising" extremely popular and competitively affordable for companies who want to "take their show on the road." Simply create bold, exciting artwork to the proper scale of the bus dimensions and supply your artwork to one of our recommended production companies. They will output full sheet reproduction on 3M vehicle vinyls and apply the graphics to the entire surface (sides, rear, windows and moldings) of the bus(s). Special window graphic materials allow you to extend your message over the bus windows without obstructing passengers' view from inside. Bus graphics are guaranteed for up to two years and are inspected daily.
Determine how many buses you intend to contract and the number of months required to accomplish your goals. Select segments of Peter Pan's route system which will give you preferred market circulation or system wide exposure.
Roadmark will initiate a contract, outlining the terms and conditions of your campaign. We will help you coordinate your graphic production and the application of your graphics on select vehicles.
Advertising "space" is billed monthly by Roadmark. Production and application terms are set forth by production and/or application companies, quoted in advance.
In addition to the pronounced advantages you receive from mobility, size and motion of your "rolling billboard," Peter Pan offers these "Program Enhancements" for nominal fees:

Mural Theme Bus advertising is unique and non traditional media. Because every vehicular fleet has its own personality (method of operation) there is no statistical data "standard' to the industry. You must conduct studies on the specific vehicles you intend to use.
Our "methodology" consists of viewing data compiled from various studies conducted based on (1) percentage of travel each vehicle spends on particular types of roadway, (2) viewings per minute/per hour, and viewings per mile. Our findings are then factored by 70% for margin of error. Our projections are consistent with various documented studies, available upon request.
