Billboards Increase Sales for Eufaula Restaurants

By: In: ,

Recently, one of Durden Outdoor Displays, Inc.’s long time clients, River City Grill in Eufaula, Alabama, approached us about advertising a new pizza restaurant they were opening. Our creative department got to work and came up with a campaign that would feature River City Grill and what would become the new hotspot of Eufaula, Graffiti’s Pizza Joint. Both of these restaurants are located in beautiful Downtown Eufaula. After working through a couple of designs and tweaks, the creative was installed on three major artery bulletins, targeting northbound and southbound traffic into Eufaula on Hwy 431. The billboards not only served as top of the mind awareness but also as a directional for non-local traffic headed to Columbus and Atlanta or to the beaches. Stephanie Ryan, partner and marketing director of Graffiti’s, said they have seen a significant increase in traffic and sales since their billboards went up. “We receive compliments everyday,” stated Ryan.

If you are in the Eufaula area and have a craving for a fresh New York-style pizza, steak and shrimp or just a great sandwich, check out our friends at River City Grill & Graffiti’s Pizza Joint, where you are sure to leave full and happy.

We would like to share some of our more recent praises from a few of our clients: We were given creative control by Bud Ford for the New WDHN Spec “You, Got Josh’d.” Mr. Ford knew he wanted it to look athletic, sports like, and sharp. Our Durden Creative Team designed the logo & banner you see below. WDHN’s Sports Director Josh Rultenberg takes his talents to the field, court, or where ever the playing ground may be for each episode of “You Got Josh’d” to see if he can out play his challenger.
“Thanks for your hard work and you are very good at what you do…I never saw the banner that way in my mind…excellent work” –Bud Ford, Meteorologist/Radio Personality
