Steve Brown is the founder of ADpro Advertising, he started it in 2004, he is located in Greene and has been in sales for 30 years. He realized restaurants needed placemats and started the advertising business. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and then joined a local BNI for several years.

​

He expanded the business in the L/A area and then later to the Augusta, Monmouth, Topsham, Brunswick and Bath areas. He continued to have success wherever he went and other restaurants wanted placemats. He has heard many success stories from his customers as well because he has many customers who advertise on most of his placemats and will change up their Ad design and location every so often to stay relevant.

They like his low pricing and easy marketing ideas to the restaurant customers.

In the last few years he has expanded to coffee cups and To Go Menus. There are some restaurants that don’t use placemats and prefer To Go Menu’s and/ or coffee cups. He started realizing that restaurants would benefit from good quality mugs that keep the coffee and warm beverages hot with their logo on it. Advertisers can put their Ad on the coffee cup and customers will see them as they drink their coffee. The advertisements on coffee cups last 1 year and in some cases 2 years, depending on the restaurant. To Go  Menu’s last 6 months to one year, depending on the restaurant.

​

Your Ad is always on the front page, everyone see’s, reads and remembers the Ad’s everyday-all year round. It helps with brand recognition by getting more exposure to the people who are happily sipping their coffee and eating their food at local diners.  He also ensures that when you are advertising on a placemat at any given restaurant, you will be the only one in your profession advertised.

ADpro strives to keep supply for every restaurant; he never lets the business run out of placemats. He will print extra before, during or extra at the end if necessary. He likes to help the well established, busy restaurants with supply because he can relate to the struggles of running a restaurant. He also likes helping small business’ grow in local communities.
