With so many factors influencing the cost of billboards, there is not one set price. The cost of billboards varies depending on the location, size, and visibility of the advertisement. To find the right billboard for your outdoor advertising campaign, you must look at billboards targeting your desired market and then start to compare prices. With so much to consider when looking for the perfect billboard, it can be hard to know what is a good price for each billboard. Today, we are going to take a closer look at the factors that affect the cost of billboards!

Location

Location is a huge factor in how much a billboard costs. The location of a billboard determines who sees the advertisement and how many people pass by. The price to rent a billboard in Times Square greatly differs from a billboard in rural Indiana. The closer to cities, the higher the cost, based on the increase in density of population. Freeway billboards cost more than highway billboards, because of the higher traffic on freeways. Three factors; circulation, impressions, and demographics, determine the cost of a billboard in a certain location.

Circulation: This is the total volume of traffic passing the billboard either in cars or walking. Circulation only measures the number of people that pass your billboard, not whether they look at the advertisement or not.

Impressions: This is essentially the number of people who can see your billboard. Impressions are calculated based on the size of the billboard, the visibility, and the speed at which people pass the advertisement.

Demographics: The breakdown of people who pass the billboard based on age, gender, and income. The demographics of people near your billboard can impact the price of the billboard.

Size

The cost of a billboard increases as the size of the billboard increases. The larger the advertisement, the more impressions it will make and the bigger the impact on the consumer. Besides the rental cost, it is also more expensive to produce and put up.

Today we are going to answer the question, where can billboards be placed? As you drive, you see billboards everywhere so you may be wondering where can’t you put a billboard. The maximum allowable number of billboards under the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 is 21 structures per mile on Interstate highways, 36 structures per mile on rural primary highways, 106 per mile on urban primary highways. There are more than 10 million nationwide!

Billboards can be placed almost anywhere, with a few restrictions. They are prohibited in Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, and Vermont, though you do have many other outdoor ad format options in these states. Billboards are required to adhere to very specific zoning, requiring them to be a certain distance from residentially zoned properties even if the parcel they would be built on is in the correct commercial zoning. They are also not permitted along scenic highways, such as US Route 40 Scenic, which runs through northern Maryland.

Under the Highway Beautification Act, billboards need to be at least 660 feet from a major highway and must be at least 1500 feet from the next highway billboard and 500 feet from the nearest street billboard. If a billboard is beyond 660 feet from the highway, it is governed by city and state zoning laws, which are considerably less strict than the rules that apply to highway billboards. Billboards in a commercial/industrial area adjacent to interstate and federal-aid primary highways are governed in a much more relaxed way than typical billboards. This means building new billboards is relatively easy in these areas as long as the Highway Beautification Act and zoning laws are followed.
