I think billboard campaigns are great ways to get a message out. And they are relatively low cost. And raising money for a billboard campaign is a great way to engage people because every person involved sees a TANGIBLE result of their contribution.

Take with whatever grains of salt you apply to all AI

Billboard advertising in Minneapolis typically costs between $2,500 and $6,000 for a 4-week, high-visibility highway campaign, with averages often landing around $3,800–$4,500. Digital billboards offer high visibility for around $5,310 per 4 weeks, while production/wrap costs for static billboards add roughly $850 to $1,000+ for installation.

Key Cost and Visibility Factors in Minneapolis:

Static Bulletins (Large Highway Boards): $3,000–$8,500 for 4 weeks, ideal for long-term brand exposure.

Digital Billboards: $1,000–$5,900 for 4 weeks, allowing for flexible messaging, with higher costs for premium locations.

Visibility & Impressions: Prime Minneapolis highway locations (I-35W, I-94) generate high traffic counts, with average boards providing roughly 766,000 impressions over 4 weeks.

Production Costs: Printing and installing a vinyl wrap (fabrication) usually costs around $850, depending on size and complexity.
