Hello all,

Over the next few weeks, the M&E will be rolling out a new ad campaign covering just about every facet of our operations. You've already seen the first ad for the new locomotives:

And today, we've released our second ad:

Enjoy! As always, feedback is welcomed.

That link doesn't show up in your original post, but when I went to PM you about it, there was something there. I'll see if it shows up in this reply. Looks kinda like it got truncated from what Photobucket URLs usually are.

Edit: Nope, I had to delete the img tags and put it in quotes to make it show up at all.

Very weird, as it shows up fine for me. At any rate, for those who can't see it above, here's the direct link to the ad: http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b63 ... _small.jpg

From a hobbyist standpoint your ad campaign is a home run!

From a business standpoint it doesn't really do anything.

It might be better to have a client testimonial describing how your service:
1. delivers on-time
2. saves costs [for example $200,000 per year over comparable trucking costs, if true]
3. is client-friendly and flexible
4. helps solve logistics challenges

What do you think?

That URL shows up okay, and works as a hyperlink, going right to the Photobucket page. But when I get there, the image is just a white square on the page. Clicking that square doesn't open or zoom the image.

Unless somebody else reports a problem, it might be just my computer, but all other img links have been okay.

Thanks for the input.... there are some ads coming that will address some of those. Definitely something for us to consider though!

Right now, online only. They'll be scattered around as we need them on a case-by-case basis.

Another good media form for these ads would be local newspapers in the Morris/Essex/Passaic areas.
