The location greatly influences the outdoor advertisement or billboards rate. Generally, the rate is directly proportional where the billboard is located for it affects the volume of people that will be seeing it. Location varies from highways, high rise building, popular establishments and streets.

    You are right in saying that Outdoor Advertising is a medium that is going to continue to provide results for advertisers, although one point I'd like to make is in response to your comment including "No production." While digital outdoor is becoming more and more widely used, most outdoor advertising still requires a production element! The value in outdoor lies in the extreme reach due to it's ability to fight the fragmentation that technology has presented to traditional media!! Blake Castetter, AdvertisingVehicles.com
