Billboard Advertising for Shops

From £5 for an hour, or £10-£15 a day depending on screen size. No agency, no minimum spend, no contracts.

Why It Works

Post for a single day or run a year

Announce sales and new stock the same day

Target the screens closest to your shop

Real-time stats on impressions and plays

Getting a shop on a billboard used to mean a big brand, an agency, a £5,000 minimum and a three-week wait. That kept the local shop off the high street's biggest screens for good. FameCake changes that. You post directly to real digital screens near your shop and go live in minutes, so the people walking past your door see your name at the exact moment they're deciding where to spend.

Announce a sale, show off new stock, or just remind the street you're there. Post a text message for an hour from £5, or run your own design for a full day at £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. Everyone who passes the screen sees it, no algorithm, no scrolling past. There's no contract and no minimum spend, so you can test one screen and scale up only when the till agrees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does billboard advertising cost for a shop?

You can post a text-only ad for one hour from just £5. A full day with your own creative costs £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. No minimum spend, no contracts.

Can billboard advertising bring more customers into my shop?

That's the whole point. A screen near your shop puts your name in front of everyone walking past, right when they're deciding where to spend. Post an offer, a new range or just a reminder you're there, and give people a reason to step inside.

Can I announce a sale or new stock on a billboard?

Yes. Post it the same day you decide. Got a clearance sale, a new season landing or a one-off event? Put it on a screen in the morning and it's live by lunch. No printing, no lead time.

Is this good for seasonal peaks like Christmas or a bank holiday?

It's built for them. Post only on the days that matter, from Black Friday to the January sales, and stop the moment the rush is over. You're never locked into spend outside your busy periods.

How do I compete with online shops on a small budget?

Online shops can't stand on your high street. A billboard gives you a real, physical presence that no marketplace can copy, in the one place your local customers actually shop. And you can start from a few pounds.

Can I target the screens nearest my shop?

Yes. Browse screens by location and pick the billboards closest to your door or on the routes your customers walk. You choose exactly where your ad plays.

How soon can my advert go live?

Most posts go live within minutes of paying. You can also schedule them for a specific day, so a sale ad is ready to run the second doors open.

Do I need a contract or minimum spend?

No. There are no contracts and no minimum spend. You pay per post and stop whenever you like.
