Shh … don’t tell anyone. Compared to other indoor advertising, placing your ad on storyPanels is a steal.
According to national advertising rates listed by the Indoor Billboard Advertsing Association (IBBA), we don’t charge enough. In fact, advertsing on a storyPanel gives you MORE ad space AND costs LESS than the national average. Way less. But that’s ok. We figure your business is like ours: these days you have to offer and get the best deals you can. We’re confident storyPanel advertising is a deal you won’t want to pass up.
Where do other indoor advertisers place their displays? Well … when the IBBA says indoor advertising they’re talking about placing ads in restrooms.

Needing new white-boards in the conference room, Moore outfitted the space with custom units using an “Industrial Erector Set” from the 80/20 company. The new boards looked great! In fact, so great that as Foster studied them he remarked “They look like giant story boards, only empty. Wait. I’ve got an idea …”

Ideally everyone in business could use a dedicated sales staff. Unfortunately, maintaining a strong sales staff can cost serious MONEY.
Here’s an idea. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could both afford sales help AND keep them working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? Sure it would.
A storySite is an Internet based, storytelling engine. We believe in the power of using Short Stories that Sell™. Stories capture our attention. They fascinate us. They make us human. And they can sell.
You don’t need to be a computer guru to run a storySite. Simple to operate, you stay focused on what’s important – telling your story and your customer success stories. Want to see a storySite in action? You’re on one – theideamechanic – or checkout Touchstone3d …
