The concept of outdoor advertising is not new as a marketing method, rather it has been around since ancient times in society. However, the actual billboards didn’t come into existence for a very long time and it took almost many more centuries to come up with the first billboard.
The earliest evidence of outdoor advertising methods has been found in ancient Egypt, where the laws of the country were described in hieroglyphs, a character used in a system of pictorial writing, specifically used in ancient Egyptian monuments and temples. Such hieroglyphic symbols represent the objects that typically stand for sound or a group of sounds. These symbols were used for guiding the travelers to make them understand the laws of the civilization before they enter any Egyptian city.
Evolution of First Billboard [Hoarding]
The first known billboard was in ancient Egypt, in the 1790s a lithography method of printing was invented which created posters that were put up at high-traffic locations. This eventually gained immense popularity with the growing times and the first introduction of posters was in 1867, when the first record of rented billboards was found.
After this by 1870, the USA became the hub of 300 sign painting companies where billboards were painted for the first time. In the year 1889, at the Paris Exposition, a 24-sheet advertising billboard was displayed for the first time in the buildings and fences in towns. With the arrival of Ford, in the 1920s the roadside became a popular spot for billboards.
