About the Memphis DOOH Market

Memphis, TN is Blues, BBQ, and FedEx HQ city with strong cultural identity; highly underserved by programmatic advertising — first-mover advantage. Memphis is a lower-competition market — CPMs are among the most cost-efficient for a city this size, and DOOH first-movers face minimal competitive pressure.

Where the Screens Are

Beale Street / downtown — entertainment corridor; venue screens and outdoor digital. Overton Square (Midtown) — arts, dining, and independent retail; locals-focused. Cooper-Young — bohemian arts and food hub; young creative audience. Poplar Avenue — major commercial artery connecting Midtown to East Memphis.

Pricing in Memphis

Screen Type	Avg. CPM	Best For
Beale Street venue	$4–$7	Entertainment, dining, tourism
Midtown venues (Overton, CY)	$3–$6	Independent lifestyle
Poplar Ave billboards	$3–$6	Broad awareness
Gas station (GSTV)	$2–$5	Broadest reach, lowest CPM

What Makes Memphis Unique

Memphis is one of the most underserved DOOH markets in the Mid-South. Most local businesses here are not running programmatic DOOH — a consistent campaign achieves dominant brand recall within 90 days. FedEx World HQ creates a significant corporate professional audience in East Memphis.

Campaign Examples

Coffee shop in Cooper-Young — $300/mo on venue + Midtown gas: near-zero DOOH competition in neighbourhood. Fitness studio in East Memphis — $350/mo on gym + Poplar Ave: 15–20 trial inquiries/month.

Getting Started

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

Enter your Memphis address and set a 1–3 mile radius
Select screen categories relevant to your audience (gym, transit, gas station, venue)
Set your daypart schedule (e.g. 6–10am for breakfast; 5–8pm for dinner)
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.
