The Benefits of Physical Billboards Over Digital Billboards Include:
  • Less expensive than digital: In many geographic markets, traditional physical billboards are less expensive than digital. This makes leasing billboard space a better option for small businesses that want to stick to a smaller advertising budget.
  • More existing inventory: Physical billboards have been around longer than digital billboards, so there is more inventory and infrastructure for this form of advertising.
  • Not subject to glitches: Physical billboard advertising relies on static, printed images instead of light-emitting diodes like those used in digital billboards. For that reason, physical boards won’t fall victim to glitches and power outages, as can happen with digital.
