Leads Dubai is a Digital Media Marketing Company. Check our marketing services in detail, or call us on +971 50 304 7470. We do not own outdoor locations; as a marketing agency, we assist in helping you find the best options available with us. If you are planning to advertise outdoors, the cost is not small: advertising with any of the ad formats above can start from AED 25,000 - 1 million. The main Sheikh Zayed Road area carries a premium; other areas can be lower. When you advertise, make sure to enter the right message (QR Codes, a special offer or coupon code, separate phone numbers to track) so you can find out how effective your outdoor advertising is.
Wall-mounted backlit advertising or an LED screen?
A backlit wall display uses a printed advertising face with lighting behind it. The message stays the same until the print is replaced. An LED screen creates the image electronically, so artwork can be updated without replacing a printed sheet. Both can look bright at night, but you are buying different formats.
Which suits your campaign?
A printed backlit site can suit a brand message that stays consistent throughout the booking. If you need to change offers during the campaign, ask about outdoor LED screen advertising. Digital sites may share a loop with other advertisers, so confirm your spot length, repeat frequency and operating hours. Do not assume animation is permitted at every location.
What should the quote include?
For a backlit wall, ask for the exact face size, approach photos, lighting hours, booking period and an itemised production quote. Confirm printing, installation, removal and approval responsibilities. Request a recent night photo as well as a daylight view. A bright display still needs a clear sightline.
Send your preferred area, dates and budget. We can check suitable supplier options and specifications before you commission artwork. Availability and approval depend on the selected site.
Advertising on glass building facades
Glass-facade graphics use printed film on approved glazed surfaces. From outside, the artwork can read as a large image across several window panels. Window frames and gaps break up that image, so keep the message short and check the layout against the actual building elevations.
This is not the same installation as a construction wrap. An occupied building needs checks for the glass specification, daylight, outward views, access and safe removal. The location owner determines the permitted material specification with the relevant approvals; the advertiser should not select film independently.
See our illustrated guide to glass graphics and building wraps before choosing a surface. Send us a building photo or target area and campaign dates so we can check suitability, rather than quote against an assumed material.
Outdoor advertising with other marketing
Another good thing you can do along with outdoor advertising is run social media ads, radio ads, YouTube ads, metro advertising and newspaper ads.
