good stuff

stick with startups for long enough and you'll walk into a winner

i reckon you're on a winner there

if you can make this work, you'll be exceedingly successful

i'd really like to see you ask questions and seek advice from qualified executives on how to make this work

you can start by running a survey and use the results as a signal of your commitment to this shop

Thanks Akula, you definately envelope the whole idea and potential of what I'm going for. I would love to survey top exec's and put their survey questions to work. Reaching them may or may not be difficult, it's all in the approach I presume.
I can definately envision big name companies like google, yahoo, office depot and more opting to advertise on AD Vans across the world.

You will have to let us know how it comes out. How many ads have you sold yet and when did you start selling?

That is deffinately taking vehicle advertising to the limit. The major draw back that I see as an advertiser is that people will see the van and talk but not really see the ads. There are so many that it would be very likely for most ads to go un-noticed.

None yet because it was only launched today. I will let you all know how it is going.

You're right, unless we are parked or stopped. What they will be able to see is the website address. Directing them back to the site where all the ads from the van will also be posted on the site. And of course from there viewers may click through to the advertisers site.
The draw is getting possible news coverage and getting people to talk -ultimately driving everyone back to the site.
