Thanks Mark, Mike and Todd for the feedback!

And great idea on the bank/credit union angle, I’ll be sure to let you know if I can get hits. I guess I just had misconceptions about the local auto dealer industry – there were some great ads done around here about a year ago (Johnson Automotive Badger ads if you’re curious; they’re on youtube I think) but it turns out they were done by the Martin agency who do lots of national spots at least in the US like the Geico ones, so I’m sure it was a very special scenario.

Just out of curiosity, are there any industries that you have found who have a tendency to lend themselves to a lot of creativity in their ads (I guess the reverse of car dealers) or are they all just dependent on who specifically you’re dealing with? I’d like to be able to do some ads to try and take advantage of the fact that my overhead is going to be far lower than the typical crew and can afford to charge less, but I’m just not sure really who I should target in further pursuits (speaking of industry and also if I should go for local, regional, or national ads).

Anyway thanks again for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
Take care,
