Digital screens in front of Acadiana audiences across roadside bulletins on I-10 and I-49, grocery and convenience stores, gyms, bars and restaurants, and Lafayette Regional Airport, with CPMs typically ranging from $4 to $40 depending on venue.
Programmatic test budgets start around $1,500 to $3,000. Plan, buy, and measure every screen in one place through AdQuick, the DOOH DSP and marketplace built for both programmatic reach and direct media-owner inventory.
The market is defined by venue environment rather than a single format, skewing toward interstate roadside bulletins plus a growing base of place-based screens.
Digital bulletins concentrate along I-10, I-49, the Evangeline Thruway, Johnston Street, and Ambassador Caffery Parkway, capturing the commuter flows that define daily movement across Lafayette Parish.

Grocery, convenience, and in-store retail media near residential nodes target shoppers and commuters across Acadiana.
Gyms and health clubs serving the city's wellness market, plus bars and restaurants downtown and in River Ranch where nightlife and festival traffic concentrate.
DOOH in Lafayette is priced on impressions, not the flat four-week rates that govern static billboards. The headline number is CPM (cost per thousand impressions), and it varies widely by venue environment, dwell time, and how you buy.
| Venue Type | Example Networks | Typical CPM | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| digital billboard advertising | Lamar, OUTFRONT | $4–$12 | Broad reach, commuter awareness |
| Grocery & convenience / gas (EV) | GSTV, in-store retail networks | $6–$12 | Shopper and commuter targeting |
| Gyms & health clubs | Zoom Media, Captivate Health | $10–$18 | Fitness, wellness, CPG |
| Bars & restaurants | Vibenomics, Rev, Zoom Media | $8–$15 | Food, beverage, nightlife, entertainment |
| Office & elevator | Captivate | $12–$22 | B2B, energy-sector, financial services |
| Retail media (in-store) | Walmart Connect, Kroger Precision | $8–$25 | Shopper marketing, CPG |
| Lafayette airport advertising | Clear Channel Airports / local concessionaire | $20–$40 | Business travelers, premium reach |
| Programmatic open exchange | Vistar, AdQuick | $3–$15 | Efficient blended reach, retargeting |
These are CPM benchmarks. Some local roadside and place-based screens are also sold as a fixed monthly share of voice (SOV) (for example, roughly $1,200–$4,000/month for a guaranteed loop share on a mid-market network) or as programmatic guaranteed (PG) impression buys. Always confirm which pricing model applies before comparing two quotes. AdQuick surfaces both the programmatic CPM and any direct SOV option for each Lafayette screen so the comparison is apples-to-apples.
Unlike static billboards, DOOH inventory in Lafayette is defined by venue environment rather than a single format. The market skews toward roadside digital bulletins on the interstate corridors plus a growing base of place-based screens in grocery, fitness, bar/restaurant, and office settings. Reported screen counts across third-party directories conflict sharply (one network advertises roughly 10 active screens while a marketplace claims 1,000+), which is exactly why a verified, deduplicated inventory view matters. AdQuick consolidates the genuinely bookable Lafayette screens by venue type so you plan against real availability rather than inflated directory totals.
Roadside digital bulletins concentrate along I-10, I-49, the Evangeline Thruway, Johnston Street, and Ambassador Caffery Parkway, capturing the commuter flows that define daily movement across Lafayette Parish. Place-based screens cluster where Acadiana audiences dwell: grocery and convenience near residential nodes, gyms and health clubs serving the city's wellness market, and bars and restaurants downtown and in River Ranch where nightlife and festival traffic concentrate.
Programmatic DOOH lets you buy Lafayette screens through an auction in real time, the same way digital display is bought, rather than negotiating each board by hand. A demand-side platform (DSP) sends bids to a supply-side platform (SSP), which controls the screen inventory; the winning creative plays in the next available slot in the loop. AdQuick is itself a DSP: it transacts programmatically across every major SSP and aggregates direct media-owner inventory from Lamar and local Acadiana operators in one plan, so a Lafayette buyer is not forced to choose between programmatic efficiency and direct-deal access.

DOOH buyers in Lafayette expect more accountability than legacy billboard buyers, and the tooling delivers it.
Impressions are reported against Geopath, the OAAA-backed industry standard that models audited audience volumes for out-of-home screens, supplemented by operator-reported plays and mobile panel verification. AdQuick reports Geopath-based impressions natively alongside delivery for every Lafayette campaign. Beyond raw impressions, attribution approaches include mobile-ID foot-traffic lift, online conversion lift, and brand-lift studies.
For a Lafayette retailer or energy-services brand, foot-traffic lift against the I-10/I-49 corridor screens is usually the most actionable metric, and AdQuick wires that reporting into the same dashboard used to plan and buy.

Roadside DOOH in Louisiana is governed by the Louisiana DOTD; place-based and content rules layer on top.
Roadside digital out-of-home is governed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) under the state's outdoor advertising and highway beautification framework (La. R.S. 48:461 et seq.), which aligns with the federal Highway Beautification Act for controlled federal-aid routes such as I-10 and I-49. These rules govern permitting, spacing, brightness, and the minimum static-display interval for digital roadside bulletins; animation and continuous motion are restricted on regulated roadside screens, though full motion is allowed on most place-based indoor inventory.
DOOH itself is IP-free and generally GDPR/CCPA-friendly, but mobile audience-extension tactics that use device IDs do trigger privacy rules.
