Milwaukee and Wisconsin Billboard Rates (2026): Costs, I-94 and Companies

Updated 2026-10-20

Short answer: Blue Line Media's published Milwaukee rates list a static billboard (bulletin) at about $1,000 to $3,500 per 4 weeks and a digital bulletin at the same, $1,000 to $3,500, both averaging about $2,250, with a $5,000 minimum spend through that seller. Posters run $1,000 to $1,500, and wallscapes $5,000 to $10,000.

That's low for a metro of about 1.6 million people (US Census Bureau 2023), and Blue Line Media notes some of its page content may be AI-generated. Treat these ranges as a starting point and confirm prices with each operator.

Worth noticing: if these rates hold, Milwaukee bulletins are a strong value. Digital bulletins list the most impressions at the same price as static, for a CPM as low as $1 to $4. Compare that with nearby Chicago, where bulletins list at $4,500 to $7,500.
