Billboards for Valentine’s Day, Proposals, and More

Chocolates, flowers, and red hearts; grocery stores are lined with these mementos of love as we approach Valentine’s Day.

There is no better time to surprise someone special, whether a friend or partner, with something a little bit bigger than your typical 5″ by 7″ greeting card—how about something 14′ x 48′ for size?

If you’ve landed here while exploring gift options, you’re most likely looking for a larger-than-life present. Bouquets of red roses are great, and shouting your love from the rooftops gets the job done—but what if there was another way to express your love or propose a long-term commitment?

Billboards! A moment so special your loved one will be awestruck.

Valentine’s Day is not the only event where a billboard can convey your love, so let’s cover the perfect occasions and how to make the moment as perfect as possible.

The Perfect Occasions

1

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to make a romantic splash. It comes with a few givens: a nice dinner, chocolates, flowers, and romantic trinkets that will be forgotten in a closet.

Nice dinners can happen anytime, chocolates get eaten, and flowers die. The one thing that will stand the test of time and be forever ingrained in memory is a billboard.

For increased romance-factor, choose a location that means something. Whether it’s the cafe where you first met or a frequent haunt you share, a meaningful spot will invoke nostalgia and remind your special someone just why they love you so much.

Proposals

As the old adage goes, “the bigger the stone, the bigger the love.” Not true at all, as love has no retail value, but you cannot get any bigger than a billboard.

Imagine this: you take your partner to your favorite restaurant with outdoor seating, positioned so they’re looking over your shoulder at a brilliant digital billboard. Just as the sun dims and a glorious golden sunset emerges, your ad appears in big, bold words: “Will you marry me, [Name]?”

Show your partner how committed you are by asking for their hand through an attention-commanding and high-impact medium. The entire street will be awed by your tear-jerking message, and your partner will love the thoughtfulness of the proposal.

Plus, their Insta feed will be filled with photos of your grand proposal—so if that one future in-law hasn’t come around to you yet, now they will.

Just Because

Anniversaries, birthdays, or just because—it’s always a great time to get someone a billboard. It’s grand, has an air of opulence, and lets your loved ones know how much they mean to you.

Billboards are relatively low in cost, especially shorter campaigns, and show your special someone you’ll go the extra mile for them.

Now, Go Reserve That Billboard!

Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, and your loved one deserves careful planning. It’s never too early to begin planning or reserving your billboard, so get shopping—you won’t regret it!
