Abstract

The present invention comprises a method by which synthetic turf fields are sold to entities capable of granting permits for advertising billboards. The method generally comprises the steps of offering a synthetic turf field to an entity in at least partial exchange for an expedited granting of a billboard permit from the entity. After an agreement on the permit is reached, the turf will be installed. The seller and/or installer of the turf will then sell and/or lease rights under the permit to a third party in exchange for a monetary amount which at least partially covers the cost of the turf.
