Five Free Billboards
In Philadelphia, Lamar Advertising is giving away five (5) free billboards. They are awarding five winning designs. The locations are Philadelphia DMA for a 4-week period beginning June 18, 2018. The promotion says, “It’s a fantastic opportunity to get you or your business noticed!” OOH Today would add, it’s a no brainer for a business to try Outdoor Advertising if one has not already and if you have, take advantage of free advertising. The odds of winning are probably very high. Why wouldn’t a local advertiser enter? We love it! OOHToday.com is thinking about entering. Wonder if we are eligible?

What each billboard company should do is go to the chamber of commerce ( real selling ) and have a monthly drawing of business cards and the winner each month get a location for one month
Over a year that could equal 12 new opportunities for a sale
Why just give away a few boards. Make it a continues effort to add new clients. I am sure we are all chamber members
So go sell something
Great solution with the local Chamber of Commerce, Mr Hansen. Your approach certainly will put one in the thick of the business community in a targeted manner. Face to face. Personal and allows for qualifying as well. ‘Go sell something’
This sounded so exciting. I was going to try to win this for my boss but we are located in Berks County. That is where I saw the add. So sad.
Thank you for the share Ms Strause. Do not sell the power of Out of Home short. OOHToday suggests you enter. While the proximity may be a concern, why not try regardless? Outdoor Advertising is typically perceived as a location based media, nevertheless, great creative knows no boundaries. If you have been following our daily news blog, you know we feel creative is the key to successful OOH. The Lamar contest is based on creative. The other thing you have going for you, is not only does Lamar Advertising cover Berks Co., it is also managed by the same General Manager out of Philadelphia, David Peacock. Would a billboard for Lawn Doctor -Berks Co in Philadelphia find success? The answer is in the creative you provide. What do you have to lose except investment in the design? We hope you enter. If you do, please let us know and share your entry.
Good luck!
