Technical Field

The present invention is related to the mini boards present and used as promotion and advertisement instruments at all active places that are suitable for advertisement, such as indoor and outdoor places, airports, train stations, bus stations, roads, schools, shopping centers, event places and parking lots.

Background of the Invention

Advertisement is an announcement, which is created to convince people to act in a particular manner voluntarily, lead them to a certain opinion, try to catch their attention for a product, service, opinion and institution, to inform them about it, and enable them to change their ideas and attitudes, or adopt a certain opinion and attitudes; is exhibited by purchasing place or period among the communication tools, or copied and distributed in various ways, and is clear to be created in exchange for a certain cost. Today, as competition is at the highest level, the companies allocate most of their incomes to advertisement in order to hold on to market. Just as advertorials are present in visual media, there are also presentations in the form of posters that are encountered frequently on roads, streets, active places daily. Today, advertising boards have several sizes and are present in the most active places of cities. Generally, indoor boards or plates in the state of art are mounted onto walls and doors near work places, and they have single function. The companies write their own logos and names on these boards; therefore, they use the said boards and plates personally or for the company. Advertising boards are the mechanisms providing visual advertisements in the places where they are present. The object of these visual elements is to appeal to visual memories of the people and to allow advertising the product.

However, outdoor boards or plates known in the state of art are present on a flat surface in a standard manner, and in several sizes so as to be mounted on the walls. In addition, pedestal advertising boards are present in the places where wall boards

l cannot be put up. Said advertising boards are exhibited in the same place for a long time, as they cannot be moved because of their big sizes, or are fixed in the place where they are present. As said advertising boards are immovable, the walls onto which advertising posts are put up become ordinary after a certain period. The perception of one person walking on the same route every day will begin to ignore the advertisements after a while. This is an undesired condition in terms of advertisers, because high costs are paid in order for the advertisements to be exhibited on these walls; thus, the most effective outcomes and highest returns are expected from the advertisements.

Different from this application, our Turkish patent application numbered 2011/09290 is related to mini boards comprising scent holes and adding dimensions for the advertisements. Mini advertising boards comprising sound effect are present in the state of art.

The present invention comprises a series of improvements made in mini advertising boards at all kinds of active places suitable for advertising, such as indoor and outdoor places, airports, train stations, bus stations, roads, schools, shopping centers, event places and parking lots.
