Forget old, static billboards! Digital billboards let you add movement and video to your advertising and to show hundreds of messages instead of a single message.
Why Digital Billboards?
With digital billboards, you can show a playlist of multiple ads instead of a single ad. Digital also includes ever-changing graphics and motion to catch the eye. Digital is easy to change and manage from a central location.
Why a Digital Billboards Advertising Network?
Individual company digital signage is only in one place – on their own facility. Digital billboard advertising networks reach more screens and people and can be all over town or even all over the country. You can charge clients to advertise on your network.
What Kinds of Content can be Shown?
You can show anything on your billboards that can be shown on a computer screen. This includes
- Video
- Images (jpg, gif, etc.)
- PowerPoint
- Audio
- Real-time data
- News
- Weather
- Sports scores
- Investment pricing
- Upcoming events
- Countdowns
Attracting Clients
Of course with any business, you need to be able to attract clients. With your own advertising network already in place, you can advertise on your billboards with messages such as “Caught you looking” or “Imagine your message here”
You can also approach businesses located close to your billboards and join and promote at local business networking groups.
