Outdoor billboard advertising consists of more options for those looking to target an audience on the go. From traditional billboards to digital options, from large to mini, billboard advertising still has great potential as a marketing strategy without conforming to a one-size-fits-all mentality. The possibilities within the Atlanta market are especially promising when you take a closer look at the statistics around the city.

Transit

Transit advertising — advertising on buses, subway cars, taxi cabs, bus stops, subway stations, and any other public transportation vehicle or building — has been a part of many businesses marketing strategy since the days of the horse-pulled cart. Advertisements used to hang along the outside of slow-moving carts, attracting pedestrians to various local businesses.

Poster

Poster advertising today is still a popular choice for outdoor advertising, especially for small-to-medium-sized businesses looking to increase brand awareness.

Dear Bill,

We would like you to know how pleased we are with the outstanding personalized service you have given us over the past few years. We greatly appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. By working with you as opposed to the Outdoor Company directly, we feel that you have saved us time and a great deal of money. We have recommended you and your company to others because of our satisfaction with your service. We look forward to doing business with you for years to come.

CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY

Bill was a pleasure to work with. He was instrumental in getting us the best deal and great locations (scouted them for us). He made the process smooth and seamless.

Also, Bill made very good recommendations to our design person regarding the copy layout (color, size of logos and website copy etc ... ), in fact, his ideas made our boards easy to read and really pop.

I worked with Lamar before signing with Bill and their customer service was very impersonal. They made no recommendations on the layout and didn't take any time to get to know us. Bill was low pressure and always conscious of our needs and budget. I like that he actually came to campus to meet with me and that he wasn't just trying to sell me a billboard. He is all about building and developing long-term customer relationships.

I recommend Bill without hesitation or reservation.

Director of Admissions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Billboard Advertising?

Despite the self-evident nature of the phrase, some people don’t still don’t fully grasp what billboard advertising entails. It’s an easy concept to grasp, but one that is vital to understanding the methodology and reach behind this kind of advertising.

Simply put: billboard advertising refers to any large outdoor signage--usually seen on the interstate &/or surface street--that promotes or advertises a business or service. These signs vary in quality and design, but they are all big and bold advertising canvases. If you’ve ever driven on the highway, you’ve definitely seen billboard advertising before. Billboards are just about everywhere, y’all.

Like I said: a very simple, seemingly obvious definition. But you’d be surprised…

How much do billboards cost?

Like any business question related to cost, this question is loaded as can be. There are a lot of factors you have to consider, each one skewing pricing in a particular way. I could go on and on about this topic, but I’ll keep it short here. What you need to know is that in the Atlanta market, billboards typically range from $1K - $10K, depending on location, visibility, and term. What exactly do those terms mean? And how do they interrelate to dictate billboard pricing? That warrants a much larger discussion...which you can read here!

Where should I advertise?

Knowing where to best place your billboard is like knowing which wine is best to drink with dinner: it varies often and is directed by outside factors. Are you eating fish or steak? Are you trying to drive foot traffic or build your brand? Etc...

But just like a lot of people don’t know which wine would be best with their meal, not every business immediately knows the best place to display their billboard advertising. That’s where Effortless Outdoor Media comes in. Like a great waiter directs you to the best wine pairing, we guide you to the best locations to achieve your billboard advertising goals. By running a needs analysis for your company, we determine what you really need to drive business.

If your business is located further back from the street, we might target a billboard that can maximize directional copy (e.g. “Turn right in 0.5 miles”). Or, if you’re trying to dredge up more business on the Southside of town, we might locate a billboard on 75 North heading into the city from McDonough. Sometimes these needs mix and intermingle in interesting ways, which makes location seeking a fun challenge. But, in the end, we always find the perfect place for your billboard advertisement!

What type of billboard advertisement is best for me?

Ok, so first off: there are 3 main subtypes of billboards:

Digital: These are digital display billboards that look like giant tv screens. These billboards are way more common in urban areas, though they have grown in popularity out towards the suburbs in recent years. These are designed to house up to 8 different billboard ads at one time, rotating through them ever 6-8 seconds.
Static: Traditional, no-frills billboards. When you think of billboards, static billboards are almost assuredly what pops into your head.
Posters: These are like static billboards, just much smaller. I’m talking ½ the size smaller.

Knowing these 3 different types of billboards, it’s easy to run some cost/benefits analyses in your head for each type. For example, the benefits of using a digital billboard include a reduced price (remember: you’re sharing the board with up to 7 other advertisers) and the ability to change your messaging frequently. However, with all the ads rotating off and on, you lose some of that ever-so-precious messaging “stickiness.”

Just like knowing where to advertise, knowing what type of billboard advertisement is best for your business varies. But having a partner with over 30+ years of experience in the industry (that’s Effortless Outdoor Media, btw), is a big help!

What makes a good billboard?

Like any work of art (or any advertisement, for that matter), what makes something “good” is subjective. Unless you’re talking about Starry Night, The Godfather (1972), or Publix subs, there will always be dissenters. It’s impossible to distill a career’s worth of experience with this issue into a few sentences, but the big takeaways are:

Know your most important image(s) right off the bat.
Be big, bold, and direct.
Never stray too far from the idea that “a picture is worth 1,000 words.”

Even writing just those doesn’t seem enough, though. This is a complex issue that deserves a lot more time and thought. So, if you’re interested, I highly recommend reading another post of mine, entitled “The Dos & Don’ts of Billboard Design.” It’s a work of art in and of itself.
