The founders of Car Top Displays have been in the outdoor advertising industry since 1987 and
1995 respectively. They have built, sold and re-built outdoor advertising companies primarily in large format billboards. Currently they operate Champion Outdoor Real Estate Assets, Inc., and SG Outdoor, Inc., currently operated and known as Champion Outdoor in Tampa Bay, and along the west coat of Florida.

The standard rule on the return on the investment in billboard advertising is 50%, but the entry level investment can be $100,000 to $500,000 dollars for one sign, the latter being the cost of a digital billboard. Sounds easy, but you have to meet both local municipal and state requirements. Many municipalities have restrictive ordinances or an out-right ban on any new billboard construction. If you did not get into the billboard business prior to 2000, it is truthfully too late. All the minor companies sold out to the national billboard companies years ago, and the good spots for new billboard sites are gone.
Most outdoor advertising companies are upgrading their existing static inventory to digital, but that too, is strictly regulated. In some areas an outdoor company has to take down twelve (12) normal billboards in order to convert one to digital. That math does not work often.
Lastly, to advertise on a billboard it costs from $1,000 to $10,000 per month for one sign. Clearly most small businesses cannot afford that expense.
However, the return on the investment with Car Top Displays is 100% and the cost to advertise is $100 dollars per month, for three seconds of every minute on our patent pending triangular digital car top display. We are the only company to feature a triangular digital car top display that is seen 360 degrees, which is double all our other competitors. You have seen the “taxi top displays” that can only be seen from the right and left-hand side of the vehicle, but a Car Top Displays is visible to everyone in the vicinity of the vehicle. At $100 dollars per month, who can’t afford to advertise?
