billboard banner

[jaylem]

I had a request for a quote on a 4' x 48' billboard banner. The ad guy, a long time associate of mine, that was looking for the quote didn't have the material specification but did tell me that it was a non-adhesive banner material that they stretch. I couldn't be held to it but I said maybe $800. He told me I was way high and that his other sources are around $500. At that point I told him I needed to know what specific material they wanted quoted and that I'd be able to get him a more accurate price. Until he gets me the info does anyone have an idea of what it commonly used for billboard and what the going street price?

Thanks,
Jason

192 sqft for $500 is $2.60 a sqft.

Is there any reason to get out of bed for that little cash?

I just got a quote for a 10 x 20 for 300 plus 50 freight.... if they have art you can make a small profit on just turning it around. You should also state that install is extra.

And the customer could be blowing smoke. They have been known to do that from time to time.

If they're sending me the artwork, I'd be glad to take that one and send it to my favorite merchant member here, and still walk away with a decent profit.

pretty sure billboard companies get printed product for like $0.25 a sq ft - that 'blueback' stuff

edit: however, a 4' tall billboard doesn't make much sense to me
