Advertising for Authors

Promoting a new book can be difficult, with competition from publishers and other independent authors. How do you stand out?

Billboards have the highest reach of all out-of-home advertising types in the U.S. Traditional or digital, they’re effective tools for reaching your target readers.

~80%Of Americans say they noticed a billboard ad, according to a recent study.

Why Billboards Work for Authors

1

Create awareness

Readers have to know about your book before they buy it. A larger-than-life book cover on someone’s daily commute builds interest, and billboards are perfect for announcing signings and tour stops.

2

Boost website traffic

Billboards drive people to bookstores and to your website. Feature your new book in your site header and make it quick to buy or download.

3

Stay cost-effective

Billboards fit many budgets, and formats like bus, bench, taxi, and subway ads let you tailor your campaign.

4

Extend your reach

High-traffic spots like downtowns and public parks deliver extensive reach.

For independent authors, billboards work alongside digital promotions to build a strong brand presence on and offline.
