Kegerreis’ Carbon market consists of Carbon County. Carbon is in the southwest corner of the Poconos region. The county was named for the large coal fields and coal mining industry in the county. The county seat is Jim Thorpe, previously named Mauch Chunk, which is known as the “Little Switzerland of America.” Most of the county is State Game Land or State Park Land. The main routes include Interstate 476, which enters from from Lehigh County and flows into Luzerne County. In northern Carbon Interstate 476 intersects Interstate 80, which flows from Luzerne County to Monroe County.

After decades in the business and managing billboard programs in top 10 markets, I still gravitate to value for my clients. As such, I absolutely love our Bus Shelter product, which offers small and mid-size businesses arguably the greatest value in all media at only $.50- $.75 cents per 1,000 impressions. Compare that to Direct Mail for instance. It’s like a 500 to 1 in terms of stronger inherent raw advertising value.
