Billboard Advertising for Tradespeople

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

Cover your patch: pick the screens near the jobs

Upload your own artwork or use our AI designer

Real-time stats on impressions and plays

Good trade runs on word of mouth and being the name people remember. For years the only way onto a billboard was a national brand, a big agency, a sales call and weeks of lead time. FameCake changes that. You post directly to real digital screens across the UK (high streets, retail parks and shopping centres) and go live in minutes, not weeks. Your trade, your area, your number, up in lights.

Pick the screens that cover your patch and be seen by the same local people you want as customers, day after day. 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. This is work that comes from being seen, not from bidding on a lead site against every other trade in town. No contract, no minimum spend, so you can test one screen and scale up only when the phone rings.

Success Stories

“Put my number and 'boiler repairs' up on the screen by the retail park. Had three calls the first day from people who'd driven past it.”
– Dave R., Plumber

“Cheaper than the lead sites and the work's actually mine, not shared with five other sparkies all quoting the same job.”
– Mark T., Electrician

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get more local work as a tradesman?

Be the name people already know when the boiler packs in or the roof leaks. A digital billboard on the high street or retail park you drive past every day puts your trade and phone number in front of thousands of local people, so you're the first call, not the third quote.

How much does it cost to advertise my trade on a billboard?

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

Can I advertise in a specific area or postcode?

Yes. Browse screens by location and pick the billboards that cover your patch: the estates, high streets and retail parks where the jobs are. Advertise only where you actually work.

How is this better than a directory or lead site?

On a lead site you pay per lead, bid against every other trade, and the customer is comparing five quotes before you've said hello. A billboard makes you the name they remember, so the call comes to you and it's yours, not shared.

Will a billboard help in my quieter season?

That's when being seen matters most. Because you post by the day from a few pounds, you can turn visibility up before winter or the slow weeks and stop when the diary fills. No rolling contract holding you to spend you don't need.

How soon can my advert go live?

Most posts go live within minutes of paying. You can also schedule them for a specific day, handy for lining up ahead of a busy weekend.

Do I need a design or a logo?

No. Upload your own artwork if you have it, or use our AI designer to make a clean advert with your trade, area and number in seconds. No agency, no printing.

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. Try one screen, scale up only if it brings work in.
