On those triangle trailer things and if so was it very expensive

i am thinking of using it for a wedding event and have no idea of the costings and i dont want to fall off my chair with the cost when i ring the company , i have tried ringing them a couple of times but it keeps going to answerphone and i havent left a message yet for them to get back to me

    I think that if youre selling a fairly expensive and up market product, those things do not reflect that, and if those products are being sold, it detracts from them, and can confuse the customer in terms of image/brand

    No i m just asking - i dont know

    google says

    http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutspelling/fayre

    which suggests that "fayre" isnt really a proper word in modern language.

    Surely not if it has the word "wedding" in front of it, and a picture of a laydee in a gigantic meringue eating from a chocolate fountain?

    I think less than £400.00 for a day at rate card, but I would expect to pay at least 30% less than that.

    I do loads of advertising in the press and they are pretty successful for all of us who attend them but i thought i would try it just once

    i tried radio and that was a dead loss i thought something like this may work and be a change

    if those pricings are right its not that bad

    we also do banners outside the venue which is on a busy road too
