Billboard Rates - Plenty of Info

[yankee_blue]

The links on this page will give a pretty good amount of information for billboards. These billboards are all owned by the company that I work for (Lamar Advertising). Each page of rates has a link that you can click on to contact someone about availability, rates, etc. Lamar can also provide the sign to you specs and from your artwork. This is for information only. I dont make anything off of this except more support for Dr. Paul!

I've included the early primary states here but can provide info on any state. Post replies here if you need help with the terminology, etc.

Are those rates inclusive of printing the poster? If not what is the ballpark for printing?

In Nashville it looks like $3k/month for a billboard with $1500 of that being a 1 time setup fee.

I am not really sure about this. Lamar has a large graphics facility here in Baton Rouge where the printing is done. I think the price varies depending on whether or not you supply the artwork, etc. I'll found out and let you know...

Which brings up another point. The graphics facility we have is constantly throwing away large sheets of the vinyl that we use for billboards. Before it is thrown away it is made available for recycling. This stuff is very good quality and weather resistant and makes for a nice homemade sign.

If anyone is interested, I can get some of this stuff (you specify the size) and I'll send it for the shipping costs...
