First, the application form file is output to be transmitted to the computer of the corresponding advertisement member applicant (10 in FIG. 1) (step S401). Accordingly, the advertisement member applicant can input data according to the application form. When the application data is input from the computer member 10 of the advertisement member applicant (step S402), the advertisement member applicant confirms whether the input data is correct data (step S403). . If it is not correct data after confirmation, a guide message is outputted accordingly, and the flow returns to step S401 (step S404).

If it is correct after checking, the signboard models according to the advertisement target data are output from the input data (step S405). Then, a message asking whether there is a desired model is output (step S406).

When a signal indicating that a desired model exists from the computer 10 of the advertisement member applicant is input (step S407), a message for selecting a desired model is output (step S408). Next, when a selection signal is input from the computer 10 of the advertisement member applicant (step S410), the selection model address is added to the application template file and stored in the database (step S412). Then, after outputting a guide message indicating that the subscription is completed, the process ends (step S414).

If a signal indicating that there is no desired model is input from the computer 10 of the advertisement member applicant (step S407), a message for expressing the desired model is output (step S409). Next, when the expression data is input from the computer 10 of the advertisement member applicant (step S411), the expression data is added to the application template and transmitted to the e-mail address of the administrator of the server computer (14 in FIG. 1) (step S413). ). Accordingly, an administrator of the server computer 14 of FIG. 1 may form a desired advertisement model file through computer communication with a corresponding advertisement member applicant and store it in a database.
