About the Long Beach DOOH Market

Long Beach, CA is Port city with distinct identity from LA; diverse with thriving arts scene in Bixby Knolls and Retro Row; locals reject being called "part of LA". Long Beach is a competitive advertising market — higher CPMs reflect strong advertiser demand, but also large addressable audiences.

Where the Screens Are

4th Street Retro Row / Bixby Knolls — arts and vintage corridor; foot-traffic venue screens. Downtown Long Beach (Pine Ave / The Pike) — entertainment and business district. Belmont Shore (2nd Street) — beachside commercial strip; high foot traffic. Long Beach Transit (LBT) — bus system; daily riders.

Pricing in Long Beach

Screen Type	Avg. CPM	Best For
Retro Row / Bixby Knolls	$7–$12	Independent lifestyle, boutiques
Downtown / The Pike	$8–$13	Entertainment, dining
Belmont Shore venue	$7–$12	Beach lifestyle, fitness
Gas station (GSTV)	$5–$9	Long Beach resident reach

What Makes Long Beach Unique

Long Beach is in the LA DMA but operates as a distinct city. Always specify Long Beach zip codes (90801–90815) in DSP targeting — not LA metro — to avoid inflated CPMs and ensure budget reaches Long Beach residents. The Grand Prix of Long Beach (April, 185K+ spectators) is a key event window for downtown businesses.

Campaign Examples

Hair salon on 4th Street — $500/mo on Retro Row + Belmont Shore gym: 15–20 new client bookings/month. Coffee shop in Bixby Knolls — $450/mo on street screens + LBT stops: 12–18% foot traffic lift.

Getting Started

Vistar Media (self-serve) or StackAdapt both carry Long Beach inventory. Minimum budget: $300/month.

Enter your Long Beach address and set a 1–3 mile radius

Upload creative (1920×1080px landscape JPEG)
Set daily budget cap — campaigns go live within 24–48 hours

Pro Tip

Run DOOH for at least 60 days before optimising. Brand recognition builds through repetition — the first 30 days establish awareness, the second 30 days convert that awareness into action.

Connecting DOOH to Your Other Marketing Channels

DOOH works best as part of a coordinated local stack:

DOOH + Google Ads: Audiences exposed to DOOH have higher branded search rates. Monitor branded keyword clicks as a leading indicator.
DOOH + Meta Ads: Some DSPs (Vistar, StackAdapt) offer mobile retargeting to devices seen near your screens. Combine for a one-two awareness-to-conversion sequence.
DOOH + Google Business Profile: Brand visibility from DOOH drives more direct GBP searches — track "direct searches" (people searching your exact business name). These typically increase 15–30% during active DOOH campaigns.
