National vs local sales

National sales come from brands buying many markets; local sales come from businesses near the board.

Local buyers are businesses near the board, like a dentist or a plumber. They often buy straight from the operator.

National buyers are brands that buy many markets at once, usually through agencies or rep firms.

Lamar says local ads were about 79% of its 2025 outdoor net revenue. It believes that is above the industry average.

The two sell differently. Local means many small deals and fast follow-up. National needs audience data, agency ties and clean reports.
