About the St. Louis DOOH Market

St. Louis, MO is Gateway City with strong neighbourhood loyalty (The Loop, Soulard, Maplewood); Cardinals Nation drives major sports culture; underrated food and arts scene. St. Louis is a mid-tier market — CPMs are reasonable, with room for well-targeted campaigns to achieve strong ROI against less sophisticated competitors.

Where the Screens Are

The Loop (Delmar Boulevard) — University City arts and dining corridor; younger, educated audience. Soulard — historic neighbourhood with bars, restaurants, Soulard Market. Downtown / Chouteau Ave — business district near Busch Stadium and Enterprise Center. Clayton — affluent suburb; office and retail screens; high-income professionals.

Pricing in St. Louis

Screen Type	Avg. CPM	Best For
The Loop venue / street	$4–$8	Independent lifestyle, dining
Soulard / Downtown venue	$4–$8	Local dining, bars, sports
Clayton office / retail	$5–$9	Professional services, upscale
Gas station (GSTV)	$3–$6	Residential coverage

What Makes St. Louis Unique

Cardinals baseball season (April–October) makes Busch Stadium adjacent restaurants and bars see their highest revenue on home games. Blues hockey (Oct–May) similarly drives Enterprise Center footfall. St. Louis's bi-state market (MO and IL) means targeting should specify Missouri zip codes only unless your business draws from Illinois suburbs.

Campaign Examples

Coffee shop on The Loop — $400/mo on Delmar + Wash U campus: 14–18 new daily customers/month. Fitness studio in Clayton — $450/mo on office lobby + west county gym: 18–22 new member inquiries/month.

Getting Started

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

Enter your St. Louis address and set a 1–3 mile radius
Select screen categories relevant to your audience (gym, transit, gas station, venue)

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.
