Jarman Outdoor operates a billboard plant with 50 faces in North Carolina.  The company was started in 2002.  Insider talked with owner Chris Jarman who also is a co-owner of Trident Outdoor.

How did you get into the out of home business? 

A major fast food chain was coming to my hometown the same year I was starting to build a house.  I had an idea of building a billboard on family land to help make my new house payment.  I met with the managers of the chain to show them my location and proposal.  Not only did they accept my proposal on the spot, they asked if I wanted to do advertising for them on all roads coming into town.  So, I went from building one face to 5 structures in one short meeting!  Jarman Outdoor Advertising was born on that day.

Tell us about your plant. 

I went to work as an administrative manager for a textile company straight out of college.  As mentioned above, I stumbled into the OOH industry almost by accident after meeting with the managers of a fast food chain in my hometown.  Once I completed construction of the first 5 structures, I continued building a few structures each year while still working in textiles.  I continued to work in textiles until 2016, when I decided to put all my time in OOH.  I currently have faces in many eastern NC counties.  I enjoy working directly with my customers and landowners as I treat them the way I would want to be treated.  I take pride in my plant as it has become a piece of the community I live in.

Do you have any digitals? 

I do not “currently” have any digitals in my inventory, but I am always looking for that perfect spot.
