Formetco reintroduces the Replace Your Face digital billboard financing program aimed at the innovative independent operators in the digital billboard industry. The program allows operators to finance all aspects of replacing aging billboards for one low monthly payment while offering a turnkey replacement service. It also gives operators access to durable hardware upgrades like Formetco’s Falcon™ Bulletin Panel.
“The Replace Your Face digital billboard financing program is different from any other offering on the market because we will be financing all parts of the replacement process,” said Daniel Hooper, Director of Marketing.
What’s Included in the Digital Billboard Financing Program
Efforts like taking down the old sign, disposal, a new sign, installation, and electrical hookup are all included in Formetco’s digital billboard financing program. With just a quick, simple application, you can be on your way to brand-new, cutting-edge digital billboard technology.
Replace Your Face eliminates the need for upfront capital and time-consuming efforts normally involved with the installation of a digital billboard. Whether the project is for one billboard, a few billboards, or dozens, all loan amounts can be approved with no financing paperwork required for an existing digital billboard that has a revenue history for projects up to $4MM. For new construction or conversion of static to digital with no revenue history, a one-year financial review is required.
“The process is simple. You fill out an application with our sales team and then we’ll do all the leg-work,” said Hooper. “We can have your new billboard up and running in as little as 4 weeks after the application approval.”
Who Qualifies for Formetco’s Digital Billboard Financing
This complete turnkey digital billboard replacement offering is now available to independent operators in the digital billboard industry with zero financial approval and 100% financing for the replacement of an existing digital billboard that has a revenue history for projects up to $4MM. Operators pursuing new construction, or converting a static face to digital without an existing revenue history, go through a one-year financial review instead, giving Formetco a way to extend the same turnkey program to operators who don’t yet have a digital track record on that location.
For independent operators, this kind of financing can matter as much as the hardware itself. Digital conversions typically require a larger upfront investment than a standard static panel, and trade groups like the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) have noted that access to capital is one of the biggest hurdles smaller operators face when trying to modernize their inventory. By rolling teardown, disposal, new hardware, installation, and electrical work into a single monthly payment, Formetco’s digital billboard financing program is designed to remove that hurdle rather than leave operators to coordinate financing across multiple vendors.
Backed by Formetco’s Standard Warranty Coverage
All Formetco signs come standard with a 10-year parts warranty, a 10-year brightness warranty, a 1-year labor warranty, 24/7 live diagnostics, and industry best customer support 365 days a year. This complete turnkey digital billboard replacement offering is now available to independent operators in the digital billboard industry across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
Pairing Financing With Formetco’s Hardware Upgrades
Because the digital billboard financing program covers the full replacement, not just the LED face, operators also have the option to upgrade the underlying structure at the same time. That includes hardware like Formetco’s Falcon Bulletin Panel, a galvanized metal and aluminum bulletin panel built to replace decaying wood or corroding steel panels on an existing structure. Bundling a structural hardware upgrade into the same monthly payment as the digital face means operators aren’t stuck financing a brand-new LED display on top of an aging or deteriorating panel.
For operators evaluating whether now is the right time to convert a static face to digital, the Replace Your Face program is designed to answer the two questions that usually stall a project: what it costs upfront, and how long installation will take. With financing structured around a single monthly payment and turnkey installation timelines as short as four weeks, Formetco’s digital billboard financing program aims to make that decision more straightforward for independent operators of any size.
