Dear,

We so much appreciate your willingness to participate in this program. PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York..As the second largest food and beverage business in the world which products are distributed across more than 200 countries, we still strive to improve and reach Faraway local cities where our products have not reached and as part of our effort to promote the Mountain Dew Drink, we seek interested candidates to go about their normal routine with an advert of "Mountain Dew Drink"on their car, truck or Motorcycle.This is one of the awareness program set up to make it easy for people to see the product

How it works? Here’s the basic premise of the “Advertise While Driving“ concept:

Pepsico seeks people -- regular citizens,professional drivers to go about their normal routine with an advert of “Mountain Dew Drink" on their car. The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as auto wraps, that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover every portion of your car's exterior surface but you can choose if you want a full wrap on your car or just a sticker..It is the same amount per week and no difference

What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car. This program will last for 6 months and the minimum you can participate is 2 months.If after that you decide not to participate anymore,the wrap can be removed

You will be compensated with $250 weekly which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use the space, No fee is required from you,We shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on/off your car (before and after the pro gramme)which would be in form of a sticker and would not have damage on your car whatsoever
