Dear Applicant
Thanks for your prompt response, It is Very Easy and Simple with No Application fees required. Here's how It works - The basic premise of the "paid to drive" Opus One Winery seeks people -- regular citizens, not professional drivers -- to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for "Opus One Winery " plastered on your car. The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps, that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.
What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness.The auto wraps tend to be colorful and eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in traffic and can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum period you can participate is 1 month. You will be compensated with a $500 Five hundred dollars per sWeek),which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use the space. Opus One Winery shall provide Experts that would handle the advert placing on your car.You will receive an up front payment of $500 (Five hundred dollars) inform of check for accepting to carry this advert on your car and other weekly payments will also come in the form of checks and delivered at your address weekly.
