More cool things you can do with Billboard Coloring Books
With our Billboard Coloring Book (available at BillboardStuff.com), we couldn’t help but brainstorm a few fun, creative ways to use it… both in your outdoor advertising career and in everyday life. Whether you’re a parent, a sales rep, or just someone who thinks billboards are awesome (because, come on, they are), this little book of blank canvases has something for everyone.
And hey, if you dream up another cool idea for using the coloring book, we’d love to hear it — drop us a line and we might share it with the industry!
1. Get the Kids Hooked on Billboards Early
If you work in OOH and have kids, this is your golden opportunity to get them involved in what you do — without boring them with sales reports and CPMs. Sit down together, grab some crayons, and start coloring billboards!
Each page includes little nuggets about the outdoor industry, so your future media moguls will actually learn something while they’re coloring. It’s family time meets career inspiration. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to say, “My kid’s first billboard design was at age five”?
2. Design Mini-Ad Masterpieces
Inside the coloring book are pages of blank billboard designs ready for your imagination (or your kid’s). Use them to brainstorm new ad ideas for current or potential clients. You might be surprised — some of the best creative ideas come from the wild minds of kids.
Once colored, these can easily be torn out and framed to display at the local business, gifted to clients, or even hung proudly in your office. Instant conversation starter. Instant smile.
3. Host a “Design-a-Billboard” School Contest
This one’s a hit: partner with a local school and hold a Billboard Design Contest! Donate a few coloring books to the art class and let students design ads for one of your advertisers (or for a community cause).
The winning ad can be scanned and displayed on a real billboard. Just imagine the excitement of driving by and seeing your artwork up there for everyone to see. Talk about show-and-tell on a whole new level. It’s also a great way to get your community involved — and maybe even spark a future career in advertising.
4. Keep Them Handy for Visitors (and Their Kids!)
You know those moments when advertisers stop by your office and they’ve brought their kids, who are now spinning in your lobby chairs? Hand them a Billboard Coloring Book and watch the chaos transform into calm creativity.
It’s a perfect little giveaway, too. Send them home with a coloring book as a fun, memorable reminder of your company. You’ll be the “fun” billboard people in town.
5. Pitch It as a Family Project for Advertisers
If you’re meeting with a business owner who has kids, casually mention that their little ones could help design their next billboard. Not only is it adorable, it’s marketing genius.
Their child’s artwork could be scanned, cleaned up, and turned into a real digital or print billboard. It’s heartwarming, shareable on social media, and guaranteed to draw attention. Everyone loves a family story — especially one that’s 14 feet tall and glowing over Main Street.
6. Bonus Idea: Use It for Team-Building
Who says coloring is just for kids? Bring a few coloring books to your next sales meeting or company retreat. Let your team design their dream billboards. The sillier, the better. You’ll laugh, relax, and maybe even discover some untapped creative talent among your crew.
Whether you’re sparking creativity, building community connections, or just trying to keep little hands busy while you talk ad rates, the Billboard Coloring Book is a fun, unexpected tool for the OOH world.
Grab yours at BillboardStuff.com, break out the crayons, and start coloring outside the lines — billboard style.
