What Are Digital Billboards?

Digital billboards, also called Electronic or LED billboards, are large billboard (bulletin) displays that change content electronically through an internet connection. A digital billboard display occupies the entire surface of a sign display (we have 300 square foot, 672 square foot and 1200 square foot displays), the advertisements are static (not animated), and change instantaneously every 8 seconds, similar to a slide show. With these large Digital Out-Of-Home (DOOH) billboards, we deliver large and/or concentrated demographic audiences to your brand, business, promotion, event, or cause. 

Electronic LED Billboards vs. Traditional Static Billboards

A traditional static billboard, or bulletin, serves one advertiser for a specific time period, posted on banner material physically by an installer. Copy can only be changed by sending an install crew up onto the sign to install an advertisement. Digital LED Electronic billboards have the ability to scroll through several advertisers, change copy instantaneously, and rotate through multiple designs.

Digital Billboard Advertising Provides Massive Exposure For Brands in Seattle

Our electronic billboards are seen by cars, transit riders, and pedestrians on major roads and highways throughout Seattle. Pacific Outdoor Advertising operates 14 digital OOH (out-of-home) billboards located on major highways including I-5 in Tacoma, as well as Hwy 527 in Snohomish county, Lynwood and Miller Creek areas. Our Digital Billboard Network, consisting of 14 electronic displays in the Seattle/Tacoma metro area, produces over 1.4 million impressions weekly. 

Our huge 20×60 I-5 outdoor LED billboards are visible to north and southbound traffic just a few miles north of the Tacoma Port and Fife exit and the Emerald Casino in one of the most congested spots on I-5. This allows for enormous daily impressions and long unobstructed viewing time. We also have exclusive digital billboard coverage on Canyon Rd in the suburbs directly south of Tacoma proper. In north Seattle, we operate displays in the affluent Snohomish County with Electronic LED billboards in the Mill Creek, Canyon Park, Alderwood Mall, and Lynnwood neighborhoods.

Here’s How Our Electronic Billboard Campaigns in Seattle Work: 

When we book your campaign with you, we will guarantee a certain number of average daily spots (1,200 spots per display is standard). A standard full-spot campaign on a LED billboard display will be seen by the traveling public for 8 seconds approximately every minute (specifically every 64 seconds) all day and all night, with a minimum of 1,200 spots in a 24 hour period. If someone purchases a half-spot, their ad will be displayed every 128 seconds (approx. every 2 minutes) totaling 600 8-second spots daily.

Scheduling Your Advertisement

Once we have a final design, we schedule the advertiser into one or multiple digital displays remotely using a secure wireless connection. Our typical schedule runs 8 different messages on a 64 second loop, which repeats for 24 hours. Most advertisers buy schedules that allow for 1 of the 8 8-second “spots” in the 64 second loop, but some elect to buy more or less spots based on availability and budget. We do not day-part or sell specific hour or minute segments in a 24 hour period, all advertisers are put into the loop based on how many spots they have purchased and receive an equal amount of time as the advertisers in the schedule as well.

Booking Your Campaign

Digital billboard marketing campaigns usually are booked on a 4-week basis and our average contract length is 6 months. Many of our advertisers have taken advantage of our annual campaigns where they can easily make copy changes to coincide with seasons, promotions, or new offerings during the course of a year. We also offer some Digital OOH campaigns that run as short as 1 week or even a few days, but most are greater than 8 weeks. Rates are quoted on an individual basis and vary based on which displays are scheduled, quantity of locations or spots booked, time of year, what our current occupancy is, and the length of the contract. Contact us and we will provide you a quote based on your needs and requests.
