Corvallis Pedicab

8 ½ inch x 11 inch ad (available on either side) or up to 11 inches x 15 inches.

Rate: $90 per month, with unlimited exposure (except Weddings or sole-sponsor days*).

* Sole-sponsor days are when a single sponsor is represented by the pedicab, such as the “OSU Campus Special.”

* (Optional) Handouts to be given to riders and interested pedestrians (coupons, samples, business cards, etc.)

People do pay attention to who sponsors the pedicab, and sponsors of all kinds have received positive feedback and great returns on their coupons.
I can provide names and contact info upon request. Corvallis Pedicab is often the center of attention wherever it goes, and often times, people are smiling
when they see the cab. That is when you want them to make the association with your brand or logo – when they are happy and interested.
Many forms of traditional advertising have run their course, becoming background noise, while pedicab advertising is innovative, and garners positive attention.

There are times that your brand could possibly appear on local news programs, photos posted on the web, even in national media.
See the News section and check out the MTV story. In the photos section
you'll notice that certain celebrities take rides when they come through Corvallis.

Event advertising rates may vary slightly, depending on the event.
For events like DaVinci Days or OSU Beaver Homegames, the cost is generally $50 per ad, no matter the size or placement on the Pedicab.

Please note if the advertisement you choose is to be situated horizontally or vertically on paper.

There is a way to reach out to your demographic while offering a useful and unique service: become a sole sponsor! Currently, Corvallis Pedicab offers this opportunity at the Oregon State University campus, though I am flexible in doing this in other locations too. It's called "The Campus Special." The way it works:
* The pedicab is out for 5-8 hours on a school day (usually some time between 9AM and 5PM), giving students and faculty free rides on behalf of your business. I methodically target your specific demographic when offering rides.

* 50-100 riders get a coupon, sample or small advertisement for your business, and I am able to talk up any specials or promotions you have going on, as well as tell newcomers where to find your place. Typical handouts are 1 or 2 dollar-off coupons (like gold to a college student), free stuff, or perhaps a small handbill listing weekly specials, upcoming events, or other information about your company. Our goal is to bring students in the door with something exciting and compelling. I've often found if there is a catch like "$5 off when you spend $50 or more," or "Save 50% this Thursday only," those coupons are not very effective.

* I have each side of the pedicab covered with your logo or ad on laminated paper. I will help you get this printed if you need it. The sign dimensions are:
Front of cab - standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with ad placed horizontally (landscape). OR, an 11 x 17 inch page, situated vertically (portrait).
2 Sides of cab - 11 x 15 inch page with ad placed horizontally (landscape).

Back of cab - available space is 19 in x 19 in. Many sponsors do an 11 x 17 inch horizontal (landscape) ad, to allow space for the Corvallis Pedicab logo as well.

By participating, you are showing the community that you support a fun, useful, and unique service. Even those who don't ride will see your ad, and most people are smiling or interested when they see the pedicab. That is when you want them to make the association with your business - when they are intrigued or smiling. Corvallis Pedicab is often a hit wherever it goes, and is a much appreciated and utilized part of the community. It receives continual positive feedback on the OSU campus and throughout Corvallis. You can read testimonials of both passengers and advertising clients here. (hyperlink to testimonials section).

The cost for the Campus Special is only $100 per day, which turns out to be a mere $20 an hour or less. Keep in mind, this is 3 kinds of marketing:

* The visual sign display
* Coupons or handouts
* Word of mouth during the ride

This marketing special is a continually proven success, delivering an average coupon return rate of 20-40%. It offers a unique, affordable alternative to traditional advertising avenues that most people don't notice any longer. References are available from each business who has signed on thus far. You can sign up for as little or as many days as you prefer, though it is typical to sign up for at least 3 days to get a high number of coupons circulated, and to effectively get your name out there. People value local businesses who support alternative transportation and a complimentary service for tired legs. Please call or email with any further questions.
