How I Made A Million Dollars In The Outdoor Billboard Business - Outdoor Billboard University
I started building billboards straight out of college, with no knowledge of what I was doing and not much capital to work with. All I had was the desire to make money and an almost equally powerful fear of failure. Starting from scratch, it took me almost a year to find my first location. And even then, nothing came easy since I had absolutely no idea how to rent the ad space or build the thing. But I “endeavored to persevere”, as Teddy Roosevelt would say, and I was able to stick with a pace of building two billboard faces per month for about 15 straight years. At that point, I had 300 billboard faces, which made me the largest privately owned billboard company in Dallas/Ft. Worth. And I did that despite the fierce competition – there were no less than 60 billboard companies operating in Dallas at that time. Every ground lease and every advertising lease was virtually hand-to-hand combat to obtain.
Through industry consolidation, the number of competitors out there has been reduced by about 80%.
In most markets, there are now only three or four billboard companies as adversaries, instead of thirty or forty.
Billboards have become one of the strongest media options for advertisers, whereas just a decade ago, it was considered the weak sibling to television, radio and newspapers. The advent of the internet destroyed those giants, but left billboards unscathed.
The amount of traffic and readership passing billboards increases every day, as does the length of time the cars are stuck in front of signs, due to the endless back-ups on most of America’s major highways and roads
This leads to higher advertising rents – which have already been going up an average of 10% per year.
And small towns across our country are growing into thriving markets that are well served by outdoor and will become the next major cities.

Report: Digital Billboards More Energy-Efficient
Louis Berger Group reports electronic billboard energy consumption down by 40% or more over past four years
energy consumption by 14 x 48-ft., electronic billboards has declined, on average, by 61% over the last four years
LBG’s report indicates energy usage by 12 x 24-ft. billboards has dropped an average of 40% over the same period
New-generation electronic equipment doesn’t require air conditioning – instead it uses air-circulation fans, which require less power; typically, actual consumption is 75% or less of capacity
According to OAAA, which sponsored the energy-consumption reviews, digital billboards used in the analysis were made by Daktronics and Young Electric Sign Co.
Are Digital Billboards Bad for the Environment?

Critics Overstate Digital Billboard Power Use
Britt McConnel's post earlier this week on digital billboard electric use was terrific. Many people have the perception that digital signs are energy hogs.
Young alleges that a 14 by 48 LED digital billboard uses 162,902 kwh annually which if true means that a digital sign would use 15 times the electricity of an average home. This statement is wildly in error.
14 by 48 digital signs produced by Daktronics, Formetco or Watchfire use approximately 24,000 kwh of electricity a year or about one-seventh the power use that Young alleges. So a typical digital sign uses 2 times the power of an average US home and 2 times as much power as a static billboard.
Many cities are requiring that 2-4 static faces must be taken down for every digital face which is built so a digital conversion actually cuts power consumption.
The advertising industry is fuelling climate disaster, and it’s getting away with it | Andrew Simms
Overconsumption is inevitable when adverts are so ubiquitous and sophisticated, says campaigner Andrew Simms
UK spending on advertising almost doubled between 2010 and 2019 and, after a pandemic dip, the £23bn spend for 2020 is expected to rise by 15% in 2021.
Even worse, findings from neuroscience reveal that advertising goes as far as lodging itself in the brain, rewiring it by forming physical structures and causing permanent change.
Brands that have been made familiar through advertising have a strong influence on the choices people make. Under MRI scans, the logos of recognisable car brands are shown to activate a single, particular region of the brain in the medial prefrontal cortex.
That’s bad enough for adults, but children are now at the mercy of so-called “surveillance advertising”. It is estimated that by the time a child turns 13, ad-tech firms would have gathered 72m data points on them. The more data collected from an early age, the easier it is for advertisers to turn young children into consumer targets.
In 2018 the car sector is estimated to have spent more than $35.5bn on advertising in key markets globally, roughly equal to the annual income of a country like Bolivia. And, in recent years, advertising has pushed a major shift to people buying larger, more polluting SUVs.
Tackling “brain pollution” requires action equivalent to the campaign to end tobacco advertising. New checks and balances need to accommodate the natural concerns of councils and residents around climate, air pollution, environmental light pollution, the “attention economy”, mental health and the dominance of non-consensual adverts in public spaces.

After a recent application to install a double-sided digital advert screen in Central Bristol, we discovered that the unit would use more electricity to power for a full year than 4 homes!
According to the technical specification submitted as part of the planning application, the maximum consumption of this double-sided unit uses up to 1920W of electricity, or 16,819 kWh for a full year of operation. Digital advertising screens are illuminated year-round and through the night.
For our calculations, we have used the highest figure which is from Ovo, and estimates an average UK household electricity consumption of 3760 kWh per year.
Therefore, a year of operation at the typical level would use 41,000 kWh of electricity: more than 11 UK households. The maximum potential electricity wasted by this development – if it was running for a full year at maximum output – would be 138,758 kWh… more than enough to power 36 homes!
Is the climate cost of digital billboards too high to justify?
Outdoor or out-of-home (OOH) ads are modernizing, ditching static paper and paste formats for ever-changing illuminating digital screens. Media owners are locked in an upgrade race, but with climate crisis anxiety heating up, is the sector’s savior tech compatible with the sustainability needs of society?
Outdoor or out-of-home (OOH) ads are modernizing, ditching static paper and paste formats for ever-changing illuminating digital screens.
Media owners are locked in an upgrade race, but with climate crisis anxiety heating up, is the sector’s savior tech compatible with the sustainability needs of society?
One 2010 study claimed a 48-sheet digital billboard (6.096m x 3.048m) consumes about 30 times more energy than the average American household in a year.
2019 research from Adblock Bristol showed that a much smaller but double-sided digital freestanding unit from Clear Channel used more electricity than four homes each year.
Meanwhile, a large JC Decaux billboard was found to consume the equivalent of 36 homes “if it was running for a full year at maximum output.” These are thirsty machines.
86 digital out-of-home (DOOH) boards in Manchester city center each use an average of 11,501kWh of electricity every year. That’s roughly 345 households’ worth. But these units deliver £2.4m a year in rent, plus 2.8% of the revenue from each ad. That’s well in excess of £6,956 per ‘household.’
UK OOH, issues a defense saying media owners have been seriously reducing their carbon impact, prioritizing energy-efficient suppliers and supply chains, buying renewable energy and offsetting carbon. Anything from adopting non-fossil fuel fleets to ditching plastic coffee cups is on the table.
Research from Cavai estimates that the average online ad impression emits the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as driving an electric car between 0.4 to 9.65m, watching a 40 inch $K OLED TV between 1.5 to 35 seconds, or having a LED light bulb on between 30 and 700 seconds.
The energy consumption of a single impression is between 0.14Wh and 1.93Wh.
Meanwhile, Ovo estimates the average annual UK household electricity consumption sits at 3,760,000Wh per year, the equivalent of a mere 26,857,142 ad impressions.
That’s a lot of online impressions. Furthermore, advertising likely added an extra 28% to the annual carbon footprint of every single person in the UK in 2019.
“On a ‘carbon-impact-per-ad-served’ basis OOH is an incredibly low-impact advertising medium because every OOH ad is seen by thousands of people.”
As an extreme example, London’s Piccadilly Lights reaches more than 56 million people a year. The energy costs will be extremely high, but how many individual screens would advertisers would have to render ads on to reach all those people individually?
One study claims that a 14×48m digital billboard with LED bulbs uses only twice as much power as a static billboard, and adds that LED lights use about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs (although you need way more of them). Other studies have digital using as much as 13 times more energy.
Also on the horizon are more efficient LED lighting and solar panels, as well as fleets of electric vehicles, pollinator-friendly infrastructure ‘living roofs’ and CO2 scrubbers to improve air quality.
DOOH is compatible with sustainability.
Do Digital Billboards Waste Energy?
Digital billboards have hundreds if not thousands of LEDs that are illuminated day and night, a report points out.
Last spring, the paper’s Driven to Distraction series explored the potential risks of digital billboards, which
critics sometimes refer to as “TV on a stick.”
In a year, a digital billboard can consume up to 30 times the energy that an average American home uses
There is, of course, a partial solution: if you use electricity generated from solar panels to power the display, a digital billboard can be rendered carbon-neutral in terms of the emissions it generates. A billboard
in Times Square operates this way.
