Why advertising on a roundabout is good for your business

Sponsoring a roundabout helps you advertise your business in one or more prominent places.

The sponsorship fee your business pays not only goes towards maintaining the roundabout you advertise on, but also towards the upkeep and enhancement of other green spaces all over Somerset.

Sponsored signs are usually sited to face the traffic approaching the roundabout from each direction – maximising the opportunity for your advert to be seen by people passing by.

Over time your business advert will become more recognisable to your potential customers – it may even become a household name!

When you advertise on one of our roundabouts, you’re not only promoting your business to your local community, you’re also making a positive contribution to the economy of Somerset and its beautiful landscape.

How roundabout advertising will benefit your business

Advertising on a roundabout can raise your company’s profile and promote your business to drivers, their passengers, people using public transport, and pedestrians and cyclists passing by.
