How Much Does Outdoor Advertising Cost in Houndmills?

Costs vary based on several different factors:

• Location - city centre sites are often well-sought after as they have a higher “footfall” or greater “opportunity to see” - basically meaning more people see your outdoor ad. This can mean higher prices, however, this greater exposure often leads to more sales. You will need to balance these up when planning your campaign.

• Time of year - Christmas and key dates, such as Valentine Day marketing, Easter etc are often more expensive and get booked quicker. This is because lots of advertisers are looking to get maximum exposure at these key promotional times of the year. If you are looking to promote around these keys dates, remember to book ahead. 

• Seasons of the year - some outdoor ads often work best in summer when people are out and about, however, newer digital options (and back-lit posters) mean that posters can still be bright and clear all year round.

• The size of the ad - a large format poster is obviously more expensive than a smaller one. We can arrange posters from small A4 posters through to 4 sheets, 6 sheets, 48 sheets and even massive 96 sheets.  

• Length of time – obviously the longer the cycle you want your campaign to run the more expensive it will be. Most outdoor sites are booked for a minimum of 2 weeks per site but we often recommend a longer cycle to gain better exposure.
