ANNOUNCING THE FIRST EVER BILLBOARD BOOT CAMP

It’s one thing to read books and listen to cd's, but an entirely different learning experience to live the life first-hand in the field for an entire weekend. That’s why OutdoorBillboard.com has introduced America’s only boot camp devoted to those individuals who want to excel in the billboard business.

Each day will consist of in-class coursework, demonstrations, and field work involving the real experiences that you need to master to successfully start and run a billboard business – either full time or as a hobby.

The following is the basic agenda:

Friday

• Reception for members
• Preview of events for next two days
• Hand-out of course materials
• Questions and answers
• Networking

Saturday

• Classwork on understanding city ordinances and zoning maps
• Classwork on understanding billboard ground leases
• Classwork on filing out permit applications properly
• Classwork and skits on how to meet with and negotiate lease with landowner
• Classwork on deciding the billboard size, height and configuration
• Classwork on how to read an engineer’s print for a billboard
• Classwork on how to find, evaluate, and buy existing billboards
• Fieldwork on how to find a billboard location
• Fieldwork on how to measure the spacings between billboards
• Fieldwork on where to place a billboard on a property
• Fieldwork on how to measure the proposed height of a billboard
• Visit to a steel foundry building billboard structures

Sunday

• Classwork on how to rent advertising space
• Classwork on how to meet with clients
• Classwork on understanding an advertising space lease
• Classwork on how to create effective billboard advertisements
• Fieldwork on how to locate advertisers for a billboard
• Fieldwork on how to change a timeclock and look for problems on a structure
• Conclusion and review of key points

We have put a lot of thought and effort into this boot camp, and believe that it covers all the bases and takes you from 0 to 60 in two days of intense instruction. You should be able to leave the course with a firm understanding of how to get going immediately and do it correctly.

About the Instructor

Frank Rolfe built from scratch one of the largest outdoor billboard companies in Dallas/ Ft. Worth. When he sold it to a public company in 1996, he had over 300 billboards, 80% he had built himself, and the other 20% he had bought from competitors. He had developed systems to rent one billboard face every two days, a pace several times faster than the competition. In addition to this large company, he also built and sold an outdoor billboard business in Los Angeles, California, which included billboards at Universal Studios and the Asahi Beer Building on Wilshire, as well as a set of leases and permits he sold in the north Texas market.

Nobody knows the billboard business better than Frank Rolfe and, if they do, they refuse to talk about it and reveal the secrets.

Hello,

I bought Frank Rolfe's eBook 'Big Bucks from Big Signs' through your site.

The book is excellent and has helped me tremendously in my efforts to build my outdoor company. It was the best $70 I've spent in a long time.

I wish you had more books, because I'd buy them all.  They're a bargain.

Larry T. , Oregon


Thanks for responding!  I really like your website that you have and I really enjoyed the books I purchased a few hours ago.  They have really helped me out!
 
Regards, Braden

Your books are the best ones I've ever read.  Nothing but information and real-life tips.  I am very satisfied.

"I just signed my first billboard lease, thanks to your book.  I followed your directions and now I have my first billboard. 

It worded just like you said in your book."

Stan W. , Texas


You made something that seemed scary and complicated east to understad.

Thank You,
Elaine T. , Florida


I started looking for billboards about a year ago, before I ever heard of your book.  Your books showed me that I was going in the wrong direction.  Now I am following what your book said, and I just signed my first lease.

Alice C. , Texas
