A large (huge) sign to mounted on the roof bars of my vehicle. Something
like 6' x 3' full colour, professionally done.


I would expect that to get you banned from the car park, to prevent the
proliferation of such advertising. You may well also get a planning
enforcement notice - around here even simple A board advertising gets an
almost immediate enforcement notice. OTOH, really eye catching sign writing
on a van (preferably a large van) will probably be as effective, works
everywhere you drive it, and does not count as a static advert.


I think Colin's probably right. I suspect your proposed stragegy is
most dodgy in that you're going to attach something to the vehicle once
it's in the carpark. That will attract adverse attention and get you
banned far sooner than a van with professional sign on the side - that's
a much better plan, less blatant advertising, and is likely to last much
longer before you get 'found out' - maybe long enough for you to build
up to a critical level of customers?
