One message from you. Four things from us.

  • Step 1

    Tell us your area and dates

    Send us the suburb you want to reach and when you want to be seen. One WhatsApp message is enough to start.

  • Step 2

    We plan the spots and check your ad

    We choose high-traffic positions that match your objective, and review your ad copy against the AIDA framework so the board actually pulls.

  • Step 3

    We print in-house in 2 – 3 working days

    Your artwork is printed on our own high-resolution printer. Crisp, sharp, and easy on the eye from across four lanes.

  • Step 4

    You get a photo every time it moves

    Your trailer is repositioned four times a month. Every single move, you receive a photograph of your board on location. You never have to wonder whether it went up.

Everything the campaign needs, under one roof.

  • 01

    Campaign planning

  • 02

    Ad copy review

    Before anything goes to print, we review your ad copy against the AIDA framework. We would rather flag a weak headline than print it.

  • 03

    In-house printing

    Your board is printed on our own high-resolution equipment in 2 – 3 working days. Crisp, sharp, and legible from across the traffic.

  • 06

    Flyer distribution

    An optional add-on: we hand out your flyers a couple of days a week alongside the trailer, so the people who see the board also get something in the hand.

Straight answers.

Is mobile billboard advertising actually worth it?+

A static billboard puts your message in one fixed spot and charges you for everyone who drives past, whether they are your customer or not. A mobile billboard parks where your customers already are, and moves four times a month if they move. For a local business selling to one or two suburbs, that difference is the whole argument. The economics follow the same logic: our campaigns run at a fixed daily rate from R200 a day, agreed before you start, while static sites are quoted as monthly rentals that vary wildly by location. And because every reposition comes with a photograph of your board on location, you are never paying for a promise — you can see exactly where your advertising rand is parked, every week of the campaign.

How quickly can we go live?+

Most campaigns are live within 3 working days of artwork approval. Printing takes 2 – 3 working days on our in-house high-resolution printer, and your trailer goes onto its first location straight after. If you have a hard deadline — a store opening or a launch date — tell us upfront and we will plan the print and placement schedule backwards from that day.

What happens if the trailer is damaged or stolen?+

Our entire fleet is insured and third-party cover is included free — you never carry the risk for equipment you are hiring. If a trailer is damaged or your board is stolen, we replace it within 48 hours at no cost to you, and your campaign carries on where it left off. That includes reprinting the artwork: because we print in-house, a replacement board does not wait in another company’s print queue. Weather, accidents and vandalism are our problem to manage, not yours; the daily rate you agreed to is the only number you pay.

Should I just buy my own trailer instead?+

You would be buying the trailer, the printing, the insurance, the towing, and finding legal parking every week. Hiring gets you all of it, plus locations we already have relationships for, at a fixed daily rate.

Why do other operators charge so much less?+

Cheap is usually a red flag in this industry. Many low-priced operators are not properly licensed — and if you ask them, they will tell you they are. Most carry no insurance, so if your print is damaged or stolen, you pay for it again. They rarely move the trailer, which means you lose the whole benefit of your ad being a mobile billboard. And they offer no proof of performance: no monthly movement reports, no accurate locations, no date stamps, no GPS coordinates. We run this the opposite way — a fully insured fleet with free third-party cover, four repositions a month as standard, and a photographed proof-of-performance report every time your trailer moves.

Which areas do you cover?+

Sixteen suburbs across Johannesburg and greater Gauteng: Sandton, Midrand, Fourways, Eastgate, Boksburg, West Rand, Benoni, Southgate, Bassonia, Randburg and Honeydew on the Johannesburg side, plus Centurion, Krugersdorp, Springs, Brits and the Vaal in greater Gauteng. Within each suburb we place trailers on high-traffic positions — shopping centre approaches, commuter routes and busy intersections — matched to who you are trying to reach. If your suburb is not on the list, ask anyway: we add locations for campaigns that need them, and one WhatsApp message is enough to find out.

Do you do anything besides the trailer?+

Yes. We can run flyer distribution a couple of days a week alongside your mobile billboard, so the people who see the board also get something in the hand.

Do you help with the design?+

We review your ad copy against the AIDA framework before we print. Around 80% of a campaign’s success comes down to what the board actually says, so we would rather flag a weak headline than print it.

How big is the advertising board?+

Our boards are large-format landscape billboards — sized and printed to stay legible from across four lanes of traffic, which is the real test of a roadside board. Exact dimensions vary by trailer model, so before anything is designed or printed we send you the artwork template for the specific trailer assigned to your campaign, with the dimensions, bleed and safe area marked. WhatsApp us and we will send your template the same day.

What format does my artwork need to be in?+

A print-ready PDF is ideal. Vector files (AI, EPS, CDR) scale best for large-format printing, and a high-resolution JPEG or PNG also works. Because we print in-house we are flexible: send whatever you have on WhatsApp, or put us in touch with your designer, and we will supply the exact template and confirm the spec before anything goes to print. We also review your ad copy against the AIDA framework before printing, so a weak headline gets flagged rather than printed.

What happens in bad weather?+

Every trailer in the fleet is fully insured, and if one is damaged we replace it within 48 hours at no cost to you. WhatsApp us and we will talk you through exactly how your campaign is looked after.

Am I locked into a long contract?+

You can run month to month with no commitment, or take a 3 or 6 month campaign at a lower daily rate. WhatsApp us and we will send you the full terms before you commit to anything.

Do you plan the campaign for us?+

Yes. Campaign planning is part of the service — tell us your objective and the suburbs you care about, and we plan the locations and the schedule around it.
