Portable Sign Rental in Edmonton: What It Costs and How It Works
If you run a business in Edmonton and people drive past your location every day without stopping, a portable billboard sign is the simplest fix. It puts your name, your message, and your phone number right at street level where thousands of drivers see it daily.
Here’s how portable sign rental works in Edmonton, what it costs, and whether it makes sense for your business.
What Is a Portable Billboard Sign?
It’s a large-format sign, typically 5 feet tall by 10 feet wide, double-sided with full-color graphic panels. You’ve seen them outside restaurants, dental offices, car dealerships, and retail stores. They sit at the edge of a property or parking lot, facing traffic.
They’re called “portable” because they’re not permanently mounted to a building. They can be repositioned, moved between locations, or removed entirely. That flexibility is why rental makes more sense than buying for most businesses.
What Does It Cost?
At OnePoint Solutions, we charge a flat $149/month. That includes everything: custom graphic design, printing, delivery, installation, maintenance, and panel swaps when you want to change your message.
No setup fees. No design fees. No contracts. Month-to-month rental. Cancel anytime.
Other sign companies in Edmonton typically charge $1,000+ to buy a sign outright, plus design and installation fees. Traditional billboard companies charge $1,500+ per month with annual contracts. Digital ad agencies will spend your budget on clicks that disappear the moment you stop paying.
What’s Included for $149/month
Here’s the full breakdown:
Custom graphic design. Send us your logo and tell us what you want the sign to say. Our team designs the panels. You approve before we print. Revisions are free. Design fees are $0.
Printing. Full-color, weather-resistant graphic panels printed to fit the sign frame.
Delivery and installation. We bring the sign to your location, position it for maximum visibility, and anchor it securely.
Panel swaps. Running a seasonal promotion? Launching a new menu item? We print new panels and swap them out. Included in the monthly rate.
Maintenance. Weather damage, fading, repositioning. We take care of it.
Who Benefits Most from Sign Rental in Edmonton?
The businesses that see the biggest return from street-level signage are ones where foot traffic and drive-by visibility directly translate to new customers:
Restaurants use signs for daily specials, new openings, and catering promotions. A sign that says “Lunch Special $12.99” pulls in drivers who didn’t plan to stop.
Dental and medical clinics use signs to let the neighborhood know they’re accepting new patients. Most people pick a dentist or walk-in clinic based on proximity and visibility.
Pharmacies benefit from signage that highlights services beyond prescriptions: flu shots, travel vaccines, blister packaging.
Property managers use “Now Leasing” signs at apartment buildings and commercial properties. A sign on-site reaches exactly the people who are already in the neighborhood.
Retail stores, salons, and studios use signs to announce grand openings, seasonal sales, and new services.
How Long Does It Take?
From your first message to a sign on the street, it typically takes 5-7 business days. That includes design, approval, printing, and delivery.
Is It Worth It?
Consider this: at $10 per click on Google Ads (a typical rate for local service keywords in Edmonton), $149 buys you about 15 clicks. A street sign gets seen by hundreds or thousands of drivers every single day, every month, for the same price.
A sign doesn’t turn off at night. It doesn’t stop on weekends. It works in the rain, in the snow, and on holidays.
If people drive past your business and you want more of them to walk in, a sign is the highest-ROI advertising you can buy.
