Questions about billboard cost and return

How are views estimated?
From each board's listed average daily views, counting only 6 hours of traffic a day to stay conservative. These are estimates.

How does a billboard compare with other media?
The tool compares cost per 1,000 views with social media, radio, online video, cable TV, streaming TV and primetime TV, using industry averages.

Is the price exact?
No. It is a starting price and an agent confirms the final price.

Is my ad the only ad on the billboard?
No. Digital billboards rotate ads from many advertisers. Your ad plays alongside others, including long-term campaigns from large national brands that pay thousands of dollars to run on a set schedule. Shout-outs and smaller packages are priced and scheduled differently, so please do not compare your ad to the other ads on the board.
