Billboard Advertising
Saw this billboard in Midland, TX on Saturday. First time I can remember seeing a billboard advertising surveying services. As someone who was born and raised in West Texas and who started my surveying career there, I never considered this Houston-based company as a local surveyor. But, they hired a local surveyor to head their office, so I suppose I’ll cut them a break. It’s a pretty hard to find help out there right now being the boom town that it is. That’s why I made a 4.5 hour drive to stake an industrial subdivision.

I can remember when surveyors could not advertise this openly.
Apart from a yellow page ad or business card and company sign out front, it was once a very controlled and strictly forbidden direction.
New world, new directions and probably rather costly.

Relationship marketing at its finest. ????

not sure why, but my eyes went to the trash in the picture

Don’t think that’s trash…it’s cotton that was missed during stripping that is still sticking to the stem. A common site in cotton country.

you know, the more I look at it…I believe it is trash…those plants don’t look like cotton… 😉

Nope. That place is a mess. This billboard is directly across the interstate from a walmart and numerous other business. As there is nothing to stop the artic winds between here and Canada except a few barbed wire fences and a couple of pump jacks, the plastic shopping bags are hurtled across the landscape only to become embedded on the mesquite bush thorns. There was a suggestion a few years back of requiring local stores to only use green colored plastic bags, so they will blend in with foilage in the summer and be mistaken for foilage in the winter. It is very trashy out there. Most of the employees are carpetbaggers from out of state, there for a paycheck and don’t care if their garbage ruins the scenery that they didn’t care much to begin with. My 2 cents.

Seems tacky like the ambulance chasing lawyers.
