So Many ?’s
Ok, just a bit of info:
I plan on going cross country (all 48 states) next summer in a 35` school bus. But instead of just driving and paying for all of that gas I figured, "I bet someone would greatly benefit from the exposure of advertising on the bus" So I have begun the arduous task of trying to find companies that are willing to advertise .... well willing to talk to me about advertising on the bus. I realize that the program would have some draw backs including the fact that it isn`t something long term, but at the same time I will be able to offer the company advertising where no other company can (ie state parks, monuments, large attractions....). So my questions are:
Who do I write in a company to get a response?What should I include in my letter?What is a reasonable price to ask?Should I get 2 companies to joint advertise?How would I go about getting 2 companies to joint advertise?What is the meaning of life?
Answer 1 question and you will be happy for a day, answer 2 questions and you will find true love, answer 3 questions..... Just kidding anyone with input please help!

I have too many ideas on who to write: Cell phone companies, 800 order companies, energy drinks/foods, movies.... endless list.
I am not into advertising and am unsure of what to include in a "packet" as well, I will look up what I can on that but what have you guys found most usefull?
Using your San Diego Zoo example, if the zoo is packed, do you really think there is a thing as "visible location"? Well, you will be visible to maybe to the 30% area behind you. If someone packed on the same row as you, your vehicle will be blocked from his view. If someone packed in front of you, he will not notice you because he will only care about going toward the zoo gate. I don`t know the parking lot layout at SD zoo, but my guess is that you will be seen by 100 to 500 people, at most.
Or, let`s use your Mall of America example. You will be luck if you are seen by 1% of the shop goers! At the parking for ANY mall, there is no way I would notice a car, no matter how fancy the color is, unless I walk directly by it.
I am just being realistic.
In terms of the goods collected, you can schedule pick up from the charity and not have to actually *handle* the goods..
I would think companies that spend big bucks like *Lending Tree* for example would love the nationwide exposure...
Do you have any updates??
