Do you think advertisers will advertise in street maps?

Question

Daily there are few hundreds passengers travel from my country to New York, Washington,Los Angeles cities etc.
I wanted to give away FREE street maps sponsored by advertisers. Do you think I can get a publisher and advertisers join together help me out in this venture? Daily I am in the region to hand over 500-1000 street maps to those passenegrs only leaving for U.S cities?

Answer 1

People do advertise in street maps, our local maps are bordered by adds, as are those of many places I have visited.
But I am not sure people will advertise on a map given to people when they are about to leave the country, the map will be thrown out before they come back home, often before they reach the plane. And your map will never be as convenient as the free map they can pick up in NY, filled with ads for businesses in NY.

How would you get the right map to the right person? If you hand them out, you will give a NY map to someone going to LA.

Maybe you can get travel agencies involved too, when people get a map when getting ready for their holidays, they might look at it before leaving and then they might be reminded by the ads to buy the last things in those shops.
But I still do not think you have a big chance of getting enough ads.
