Billboards for New Advertisers

Billboard Advertising

Billboard advertising is using large scale-print advertisements in outside establishments to market a company, brand, product, service, or campaign. Billboards are commonly placed in high-traffic locations such as highways and cities to be seen by many drivers and pedestrians. Due to the high traffic nature of billboards, they are one of the best advertising mediums to get a high number of views and impressions compared to other marketing methods.

Start with a Story

Keep It Bold and Simple

In order to appeal to the highest number of viewers, you will want to keep your billboard design simple. In addition, use big and bold fonts to attract the most attention from commuters.

Consider Location

Billboards designs that take location into context are especially effective. Consider including sports teams, nicknames, or inside jokes related to the local area. This can make the billboard and brand much more relatable and memorable to the viewers.
