Buying a billboard vs. advertising on one
Buying or building a billboard: you would need land or a lease, permits, construction and ongoing upkeep. It is a large, slow project and is usually done by billboard owners and companies, not advertisers.
Advertising on a billboard: you choose a board, a start date and a campaign length, and your message goes live. There is nothing to build or maintain.
Why most advertisers rent space
Lower starting cost. You pay for the campaign, not the structure.
Speed. A campaign can go live in as little as 72 hours.
Choice. You can test one city or board, then add more.
