Display advertising is an excellent way to market your business to your core customers, drive visits to your website and promote your brand.

Below are some of the more frequently asked questions we receive. If your particular questions aren't answered, contact us today.

 

Do I get to pick the billboards I want? Is there a waiting list for the ones I want? Will someone call me?

Yes! If you live around the Prince George area, you are welcome to come on a billboard tour and we will explain the options available as we drive by them together. If you are from out of town and can’t drive by them personally, we then direct our clients/prospects to our interactive billboard map to view the locations and learn more about them.

In high demand locations, if they aren't available you have the option of being placed on the waiting list. As soon as it is open, we will call those on the list. You may be next!

How do I pay? In 3 month/6month/year instalments? Cash/cheque/credit?

Marquis can make arrangements for any of those pay frequencies. We accept cash, cheque VISA, MC, e-transfer and direct deposit.

Do I have to provide the creative? What are the parameters around the creative? (size/pixels/etc.) If I supply the creative does the cost change?

Marquis is a full service agency and can offer design services for your display: extra charge applies. Or you can provide the design based on the specific specs required for your display. Various spec requirements for all displays depending on which venue you choose.
