Billboards Sell Turnpike Aimed at 270000 daily reach
Al Carey presented a plan to place 28 billboards across four states to advertise the West Virginia Turnpike. The system would cost about 60000 and target about 270000 vehicles daily, with revenue data showing May totals near 976495.60 and daily averages around 6166.86. Carey notes many drivers are unaware of the Turnpike and suggests signs at Charleston Princeton ends and along feeder roads in WV VA OH KY. General Manager Okey L. Patteson said the proposal would be reviewed with the ad campaign to boost revenue, as current daily revenue nears 9000 and break-even needs about 15300.
