Tag:advertising=totem

An advertising totem is generally a rectangular device, around 1 meter width, and 6.5 meter high (up to 8 meter high). Generally implemented in the entrance of a place where a commercial or industrial activity takes place, to announce this activity. It is a form of advertising sign. Grounded, it can be lit and can be animated with digital prices for example for a gas station which is a very common type of advertising device (Monument signs and post-and-panel signs may be classified as advertising totems when they are tall enough).
