Company Tests Parking Meter Advertising

This is really an extension of the street furniture of bus shelters and kiosks”

The New York firm is one of two who have been given the go-ahead to test advertising on 500 parking meters along a stretch of Third Avenue on the Upper East Side between 67th and 86th streets. Snap Marketing has permission to sell advertising on parking meters on a stretch of Broadway on Manhattans West Side. The one-year test began Oct. 1.

Wouldn’t this be even more effective if it worked with a potential database that was wired into the EZ Pass so that specific advertising messages could be delivered locationally based on the cars EZ Pass database. I know we’re not there yet, but I think it would be a fascinating combination of technologies.
