General Mobile Billboard Questions
What is a mobile billboard?
A mobile billboard is an advertising truck with bright LED screens that drives or parks in high-traffic areas. Instead of waiting for people to pass a fixed sign, a mobile billboard brings your message directly to busy streets, events, nightlife districts, shopping areas, campuses, and targeted neighborhoods.
How does mobile billboard advertising work?
You choose your campaign date, hours, target audience, locations, and creative. Mobile Billboard Global plans the route, loads your artwork or video, runs the campaign, and provides proof-of-performance such as GPS route logs, photos, and a recap report.
Why choose a mobile LED billboard truck instead of a traditional static billboard?
A mobile LED billboard truck gives you flexible targeting. It can follow traffic patterns, reach multiple neighborhoods in one campaign, park near approved event areas, and display full-motion video. Static billboards are fixed in one location and cannot move with your audience.
What types of businesses use mobile billboards?
Mobile billboards work well for grand openings, restaurants, nightclubs, real estate launches, concerts, festivals, conventions, trade shows, political campaigns, product launches, recruiting campaigns, retail promotions, and brand awareness campaigns across local, regional, and national markets.
Mobile Billboard Pricing & Booking
How much does a mobile billboard truck cost?
Mobile billboard pricing depends on campaign length, route complexity, creative needs, event timing, and whether permits or special logistics are required. Local single-day activations can start around $1,250, with custom quotes available for multi-day, multi-week, and multi-market campaigns.
How far in advance should I book a mobile billboard campaign?
For many standard campaigns, about 24 hours of notice is usually enough. For major events, political campaigns, holidays, conferences, festivals, sports weekends, and high-demand dates, booking earlier helps secure truck availability and route planning.
Is there a minimum campaign length?
Campaigns can be booked for short activations or longer advertising runs. A common starting point is a four-hour route, while longer campaigns can run for days, weeks, or months. Longer schedules may qualify for volume pricing.
Do you offer nonprofit, church, school, or political campaign rates?
Yes. Mobile Billboard Global can quote special pricing for qualified nonprofits, churches, schools, community organizations, and political committees. Campaign timing, route requirements, and creative needs still affect the final quote.
Routes, Targeting & Service Areas
What areas does Mobile Billboard Global serve?
Mobile Billboard Global serves markets nationwide, with deep coverage across the Southeast including Atlanta, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding metros.
Can I choose the mobile billboard route?
Yes. You can provide target ZIP codes, neighborhoods, venues, intersections, campuses, retail corridors, or event locations. The route team then builds an optimized path based on traffic patterns, timing, local restrictions, and campaign goals.
Can the truck target an event, concert, convention, or sports game?
Yes. Mobile billboard trucks are often used around conventions, concerts, stadiums, arenas, festivals, parades, nightlife areas, and major local events. Route access, parking, sound use, and staging depend on local rules and venue restrictions.
Can the truck park in one location or does it have to drive?
The truck can drive a route, park in an approved location, or use a combination of both. Parking and staging must comply with local traffic rules, private property permissions, event requirements, and safety guidelines.
LED Billboard Truck & Technology
How big are the LED billboard truck screens?
Each truck carries three LED display faces, including two side screens and one rear screen. The standard display size is approximately 6 ft × 11 ft per screen with high-brightness LED panels designed for visibility in daylight and evening conditions.
Can I run video, animation, and audio?
Yes. You can run static images, motion graphics, full-motion video, and audio when appropriate for the location and campaign. Audio use is planned around local rules, venue restrictions, time of day, and the campaign environment.
Do mobile billboard trucks work in rain?
Yes. The LED screens are built for outdoor advertising and campaigns can run in rain. Severe weather, flooding, road closures, or unsafe driving conditions may require route adjustments for safety.
Are the trucks street legal?
Mobile Billboard Global plans campaigns to comply with applicable transportation rules, local signage requirements, sound restrictions, illumination limits, and route regulations. Some cities, venues, or event zones may require extra approvals.
Creative, Video Specs & Content Updates
Do you design the mobile billboard artwork?
Yes. Mobile Billboard Global can design static artwork, motion graphics, or simple campaign layouts. You can also send finished creative if your team already has billboard-ready files.
What file format should I send for the LED truck?
Recommended files are 1920 × 1080 px MP4 videos or high-resolution JPEG/PNG images. Keep the message bold, simple, and easy to read from a distance. Strong mobile billboard creative usually includes one main headline, a clear logo, and a short call to action.
Can I update the ad creative during the campaign?
Yes. Creative can often be updated remotely during a campaign. This is useful for countdowns, event schedules, flash offers, election messages, QR code tests, and A/B testing different ad versions.
Can I use a QR code on a mobile billboard?
Yes, but the QR code should be large, high-contrast, and paired with a short URL or simple call to action. QR codes work best when the truck is parked, moving slowly, or operating near pedestrian-heavy locations.
Campaign Reporting & Results
How many impressions can a mobile billboard campaign get?
Impressions vary by route, traffic, time of day, campaign duration, and event density. An eight-hour route in a major metro can typically generate tens of thousands of in-person impressions, especially around high-traffic corridors and major events.
How do you measure mobile billboard campaign performance?
Performance can be measured with GPS route logs, route heat maps, time-stamped campaign photos, traffic-based impression estimates, QR code scans, landing page visits, call tracking, and optional paid-social amplification.
Do you provide a campaign recap report?
Yes. After the activation, Mobile Billboard Global can provide a recap report with campaign photos, route information, timing, and performance details. Reports are typically delivered within 48 hours after each activation.
Permits, Logistics & Compliance
Do you handle permits for mobile billboard campaigns?
When a permit or approval is required, Mobile Billboard Global can help with the paperwork and include applicable permit fees in the quote. Requirements depend on the city, route, venue, event, parking plan, and sound use.
Can mobile billboard trucks operate near private venues or shopping centers?
Yes, when access is permitted. Campaigns on private property may require written approval from the property owner, venue, shopping center, or event organizer. Public roads and curbside areas must follow local parking and traffic rules.
What happens if traffic, weather, or police activity affects the route?
The route team can adjust the campaign path as needed to keep the truck visible and safe. If road closures, severe weather, or public safety restrictions affect the original plan, the driver will use an approved alternate route when possible.
Payments, Contracts & Cancellations
What payment methods do you accept?
Mobile Billboard Global accepts ACH, major credit cards, PayPal, and approved invoicing terms when available. Payment terms are confirmed in your campaign agreement.
Is a deposit required to reserve a mobile billboard truck?
Yes. A deposit is normally required to reserve your campaign date, truck, route planning, and production schedule. Political campaigns and rush bookings may require payment in full before launch.
Can I cancel or reschedule my campaign?
Cancellation and rescheduling terms depend on the campaign agreement, timing, permits, staffing, route planning, and creative production already completed. Ask for the current cancellation terms before booking.
