Anyone have a good strategy for setting bandit signs?
I've been thinking about bandit signs recently and have come to the conclusion that I want to test some.
They are very cheap to print and ship, and in a state like NJ 100 bandit signs could get thousands of views every single day.
So naturally I've been looking for 2 things.
1) Highways and roads that get lots of traffic.
2) Locations where the signs would stick for more than a few days.
And this is really not an easy thing to figure out.
The hardest part is figuring out where I'm allowed to put these signs.
Like there's a marshland right down the road, that parallels a major highway. The problem is, I have no idea if I can put a sign there. That 1 sign alone could get thousands of views everyday.
I was looking around for "no trespassing" signs, or "private property" warnings and didn't see any. But I'm assuming that marshland is government property.
The real issue is there are hundreds of locations just like this, and I have no idea how to proceed. If there are no signs, no people, do I just put my sign down and see how long it lasts?
What are the chances of us getting fined over something like this?
I'm thinking any property that is not owned by a business or homeowner, has to belong to the government (forgive me if I sound like a moron but law is not my specialty). So for anyone who has done this, how did you set your signs?
Would it be smarter to find homes by major highways, then just pay the homeowners to set them on their yard? I thought about setting them on clients yards, but most of these people live in low traffic areas.
Its the math that really attracts me to this idea. Say 1 sign gets an avg of 1,000 views a day, 100 signs X 1,000 = 100,000 views/day for a mere $100 spent.
If all those signs stayed up for 10 days, thats 1 million real world impressions. At first I thought 1,000 view/sign might be a liberal estimate, untill I tried counting cars and realized 100's of cars are passing by every 10 minutes or so.
For all I know this could be a very conservative estimate.
But thats not the question. The question is who has used bandit signs, and how hard is it to find places where they stick?

ps. I plan on doing a lot of legal research prior to setting the signs but feedback would still be appreciated. Thanks!
