As America's largest wholesale grocery distributor, Supervalu is constantly striving to be the leader of commodity distribution. To be the leader requires a concentrated focus on innovation, concern and awareness of client and market needs. Supervalu recognizes that its trailer fleet has the means to be much more than just a delivery system for client products. Its 'mode of operation' lends itself perfectly as a marketing and advertising delivery system for both Supervalu clients and major brands, delivering information and recognition messages to both consumers and retailers.

Supervalu has thoroughly researched the feasibility of using its trailer fleet as 'mobile billboards' in partnership with ROADMARK Inc., America's leading fleet advertising management company. This vehicular advertising program will be managed by ROADMARK Inc. under the guidelines set forth by Supervalu's management and dispatch staff. Rates established for client advertising have intentionally been set lower than any other form of major advertising media specifically for the purpose of 'furthering client relations.'

Supervalu's mission is to offer its clients the most comprehensive service possible to 'move product.' Now, Supervalu can move 'product to the shelf' and 'off the shelf.' We deliver your product(s)... and your message(s), all in one trailer load, direct to consumers, effectively and economically.

Imagine the Possibilities...

Unlike most truck fleets, food distribution vehicles travel daily, on repeated routes, dispatched by trailer number to multiple load destinations in populated urban areas during daytime hours. Traveling on metropolitan interstate highways, suburban roads and city streets, Supervalu offers verifiable accountability, by route, city, state, time and destination.
Your advertising can be routed by predetermined scheduling, rotated or rerouted easily to cover special promotions or rapid market response. Flexible dispatching ability diminishes the need and expense for multi-market buys.
Supervalu's truck advertising program (T.A.P.) offers 30% more graphic image area than stationary highway bulletins. As an additional benefit, you gain the pronounced advantages of "mobility and motion."
With good graphic design and message content, smooth surface trailers deliver more quality impressions than any other form of outdoor media. Recent innovations with fleet graphic technology allow advertisers to promote bold, colorful images that will attract attention and stimulate consumer response. Trailer graphics can be customized for impact or economy.
Supervalu trailer ads are viewed, not only by consumers, but by retailers responsible for allocating quality shelf space. Trailer ads imply your products are being mass-delivered and allow you to gain dominant recognition over your competition.
At 46 cents (cpm), we offer the most effective outdoor advertising medium in the marketplace!

Formula for Impressions

Bruskin Russell Research / AC Nielsen Research/ROADMARK, Inc.
New study (1999) T.A.B. (N.Y.)

Our studies conclude that daytime impressions are determined from data involving "mode of operation" of any single fleet 1) per mile, 2) per min., 3) by percentage of time of travel on any particular roadway. **T.A.B. Study, by GPS Monitoring.

Our data compiled suggests :
31 impressions per mile/per min. - rural interstate
35 impressions per mile/per min. - suburban interstate*
48 impressions per mile/per min. - urban interstate
68 impressions per mile/per min. - secondary arterial*
93 impressions per mile/per min. - urban arterial*
131 impressions per mile/per min. -city street*
* (indicates our average mode of operation)
* New T.A.B. Study suggests nearly double these estimates

8 hr. day, 40% suburban interstate, 192 min./day = 6,720 impressions/day
8 hr. day, 40% secondary arterial, 192 min./day = 13,056 impressions/day
8 hr. day, 20% city streets, 96 min./day = 12,576 impressions/day
TOTAL = 32,352

32,352 impressions per day, 360 days per year = 11,646,720 impressions per year
CPM @ $800/mo. rate = 46 cents per 1,000 impressions (not including production)

Demographics contingent on marketplace chosen. All demographic groups exposed (women, men, children, upper, middle and lower income) subject to time of day. AVERAGE REACH 85% AVERAGE FREQUENCY 11 x mo.
