Billboard Cost vs CPVD Calculator: How Far Does Your Budget Actually Go?

AdQuick lists Jacksonville static billboards at $4.50-$11 CPM (cost per thousand impressions), with most 4-week flights running $1,500-$4,500 in media plus $500-$2,000 in production. Digital DOOH boards in Jax run roughly $11 CPM. A typical mid-market local advertiser spends $2,000-$4,000/month for a single static board.

CPM bills you for every thousand estimated impressions, regardless of who saw it (driver, passenger, renter, out-of-market). CPVD's background tier bills from $0.25 per GPS-verified delivery to a real driver phone: no estimation, no auction, no Middleman Tax. Tunnels (1-mile road strips) and zones (1-square-mile areas) are priced higher for hyper-local precision.

Out-of-Home industry research (Geopath, OAAA) consistently finds that the share of billboard impressions reaching an in-market, qualified buyer is much smaller than the raw vehicle count. We use 30% as a conservative working estimate; the actual figure varies by board, location, season, and product category. The honest takeaway: a 750,000-impression billboard rarely puts your message in front of 750,000 qualified buyers.

One GPS-verified delivery to a real driver phone moving through a Jacksonville street segment WilDi controls. The advertiser doesn't pay for impressions, attempts, or estimated reach. Only verified deliveries that actually happened are billed. No auction, no exchange rake, no bot exposure.

Background is the city-wide rotation tier at tier-based. Tunnels (1-mile road strips) and zones (1-square-mile areas) deliver hyper-local just-in-time messages and are priced higher for that precision. Exact tunnel/zone pricing isn't publicly committed; talk to sales for a quote on a specific corridor.

One message delivered to one real driver phone that was physically inside your chosen geography at the moment of delivery, confirmed by GPS on the device itself. The driver also physically acknowledges the message, so a delivery is never an invisible impression. Bots, background tabs, and off-screen impressions cannot generate one. You are billed only when a verified delivery happens.

Background runs city-wide across every active driver in the metro. A zone is a neighborhood-sized area you hold exclusively: while it is yours, no competitor can run there. A tunnel is a one-mile stretch of road you can place anywhere, and it follows the road's contours, ideal for the approach to your shop or a route your customers already drive.

The Starter tier opens with a $50 deposit, and that deposit becomes your ad budget. Background deliveries on Starter run $0.50 per verified delivery, so the first deposit buys 100 GPS-verified deliveries to real driver phones. There is no auction and no platform fee stacked on top.

Four public tiers: Starter ($50 minimum deposit, background only), Local ($250, up to 2 tunnels and 1 zone), Pro ($1,000, up to 8 tunnels and 5 zones), and Enterprise ($3,000, up to 25 tunnels and 15 zones). Per-delivery background rates step down by tier, from $0.50 on Starter to $0.25 on Enterprise. An Agency tier is available through sales.
