Tukituki Campaign : Billboards

We have a great campaign and electorate team and are very well organised. No panic at all once the date was announced yesterday.

For months we have been preparing and planning for the election such as finding and confirming strategic billboard sites.

We already have about 100 billboards up on about 40 sites. No sign of any other candidate or parties billboards other than the Greens two sites. Chris also has a fair swag already up in Napier.

The value that has to be attributed to "commercial" sites is a killer, $4 per square metre per day. We are almost exclusively on residential, orchard and agricultural sites. That is our advantage over those in metro seats whose commercial value is $6 per square metre per day and who do not have any agricultural land which is exempt from the theoretical "commercial advertising value".
