Today we’d like to introduce you to Shane Hutton.
Hi Shane, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
We started Billboard4Me back in 2019 to help the public get on billboards for their special occasions at a reasonable price by partnering with billboard companies. We started off slow to see how the general public would respond, and it did really well. When COVID hit in 2020 and kids were homeschooled, Billboard4Me really took off for graduation time. We were even in The Post in Pleasant View, TN, about bringing the community together through OOH (out-of-home advertising). To this day, we are still partnering with billboard companies to add new locations with Billboard4Me.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Informing the public that they can order a billboard message from their phone in a matter of minutes has been challenging because it has never been done before.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Billboard4Me.com is a service offering billboards to the general public for the purpose of celebrating birthdays, congratulations, memorials and more on a day-to-day basis. We partner with billboard companies large and small, working as the intermediate agent. This lets us keep a lower cost for the customer because we handle everything.
How does it work?
It’s simple. You select your state, city, and desired billboard location. Select the days you want your message to run. Use our pre-designed message templates to create your ad/message. Pay and done! The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
How much does it cost?
The cost is determined by each individual billboard company. Usually ranging between $30 – $125 per day (depending on location). Upon selecting your billboard location, you will see the pricing.
What billboard locations are available?
We are always adding new locations. The list of billboards/cities is visible on the website Billboard4Me.com.
How often do the billboard messages pop up?
Every 1-5 minutes, depending on how many other messages are running. On average, every 2 minutes, from 12AM to 11:59PM on the dates you select.
What types of billboard messages can I create?
We have 50 pre-designed and easy to customize billboard templates for you to choose from. These include Anniversary, Birthday, Benefit, Christian, Graduation, Holiday, Love, Marry Me, Newborn, Obituary, Pet, Prayer, Retirement, Wedding & Welcome Home. For any type of message outside of this, we refer directly to the billboard company.
