Billboard #5: Salt Lake City!!!

(Note: We now have the funds for billboard #5. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS!!. Billboard #5 is now up. You can see photos of it at this link.)

Recently I was contacted by a new sign company we'd not worked with yet. They said they want our business and would make us a great deal in order to get it. What a refreshing change! In order to get our business they've made us an offer on one of the monster size billboards in the Salt Lake area. This one is located on a main artery in North Salt Lake, is illuminated at night, and they're giving to us for 6 weeks (not just the typical 4) for just $2,045. It's an opportunity we can't pass up! Reagan Outdoor charges around $10,000 for the same size in a similar type of location. For those of you who know the Salt Lake area, this one is located on I-215 between Redwood Road and I-15. It's positioned such that northbound traffic will see this one. This is a very heavily traveled stretch of road, and for most days, the northbound traffic at the end of the day slows to a crawl during rush hour. This means that people at these times will have to look at the billboard for several minutes before they move on by it, so this one is going to be noticed big time! Below is an example of our current billboard size and a design of the monster size with a rough, new design that's made specifically for this size. The monster size is scheduled to go up on August 1st and will stay up until September 15th.

This is an opportunity that we had not budgeted for, but we don't want to pass this one up! In order to pay for this opportunity we need your support! So, please contribute what you can to our billboard #5 fund, even if it's only $10.00. It all adds up! Click the Billboard Fund main menu item a the top of the page to make a contribution.

Awesome!  Do we want to enter pictures to see if we can get a real postmo family up there?


Jeff

Very exciting. Congradulations.

I would we suggest that we do that (real Postmo picture) for future billboards, but for now, let’s get this puppy rolling!  Jeff, I’m sending in (or will give you tomorrow night) a contribution for the project.  Way to go!

Right on! This sounds like a fantastic opportunity!


Question, I just donated using my card so it won’t show up on my parents bill or anything but it asked for a phone number, and address and such and it listed my address as “shipping address” Is it going to actually send me anything (Like a reciept)?

Sakerra, we have been planning to send out a thank you letter in response to any donations of $50 or more. Other than that, nothing will be sent.

Jordo, the family picture is a stock photo, purchased from a company that sells such things. Please take a look at question #2 in FAQ section of the Post-Mormon Scrapbook.

That’s a great design!


Yea I like the new design better too.


Like the design, too.  It reminds me of those multicultural collages that Jehovah’s Witness like to put in their publications, only less discomfiting.

What a wonderful thing. I love the new design.

When are the t-shirts coming?

Postmormon.org should have a cafe press shop to help fund the site and billboards!
