Advertising with Mountain Rides

Get “ON” the bus

Are you looking for a way for your business to be seen day after day by tens of thousands of people – locals, tourist, and part-timers? Something that is highly visible and attractive… A truly unique advertising opportunity…

Consider advertising on Mountain Rides buses or vans. Interior ads are seen by our ridership of over 400,000 people annually, a ridership that is rapidly increasing. Exterior ads are seen by all those who live, work, or visit the Wood River Valley. We have buses that run throughout Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey, and Bellevue, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Interior Advertising

Interior ad contracts include placement in every large bus in our fleet – 11 buses in total that run year round. These ads can be used to promote a business, an event, a campaign, or a public service. Ad production cost is not included in the cost of the ad placement. Guidelines for interior ads include:

1. Ads should be 11” Tall and up to 17” wide, landscape printed (finished size with laminate)
2. Laminate or simply print on thicker, poster paper so that the wind does not blow the advertisement out of the bus.
3. 15 copies will need to be provided.
4. Choose: leave your ad in for the year, or we will change it out, whenever you request.
5. Short (1-3 months) and long (1 year) contract terms/pricing available.

Exterior Advertising

For maximum exposure in the Sun Valley area, consider placing an exterior ad on one or more of our buses. For the price of a few newspaper ads, you can have year round exposure for your business or organization to an audience that consists of anyone who happens to be driving, walking, or biking near one of our buses (a HUGE amount of exposure in terms of viewings), not to mention all who ride our buses.

1. Pricing does not include production and installation costs. Ads must be produced and installed in accordance with Mountain Rides’ sizing and placement guides.
2. Pricing does not include graphic design – ads must be submitted according to standards set by Mountain Rides in a format that meets production requirements.
