Billboards in Highland, UT

Why the Highland Area Is a High-Value Market

• Affluence and families: Highland and North Utah County are among Utah’s most affluent and family-centric communities. Highland and neighboring Alpine routinely rank in Utah’s top income tiers, and Utah County has one of the largest average household sizes in the nation at roughly 3.6–4.0 persons per household, with many Highland neighborhoods skewing 5+ members. Median household incomes in nearby cities commonly exceed $100,000, with Draper reporting a median above $120,000 and many Lehi tech-worker households in the six figures. This supports premium categories like home services, education, healthcare, and outdoor lifestyle. For local context on demographics and community makeup, see Alpine School District boundary communities and resources and Highland City community information.
• Growth corridor: The broader area around Highland is anchored by the Silicon Slopes tech economy. Lehi’s Traverse Mountain/Thanksgiving Point area has added millions of square feet of office, retail, and mixed-use in the past decade, supporting thousands of daily commuters on I‑15 and SR‑92. The City of Lehi reports sustained commercial permitting and strong job growth in tech, finance, and professional services, with Silicon Slopes companies clustering around the I‑15 technology corridor. Explore Lehi economic development and project pipelines at the city site.
• Commuter and retail magnets: I‑15 and SR‑92/Timpanogos Highway carry heavy peak-period volumes through Lehi, American Fork, and into Draper. UDOT corridor updates consistently show recurring congestion near the Point of the Mountain and SR‑92 interchange during AM and PM peaks, extending travel times and increasing OOH dwell. Major shopping nodes—American Fork’s retail corridor along 500 E/State St, Orem’s University Place, and Lehi’s Outlets at Traverse Mountain—aggregate high-intent consumers within 10 miles of Highland. For traffic and construction advisories that affect dwell and daypart optimization, use UDOT’s traveler resources. For local retail event magnets, see University Place Orem and Outlets at Traverse Mountain events.

• American Fork (4.3 miles): High shopping intent with strong weekend retail volumes; big-box, dining, and auto-service clusters generate steady midday demand, especially Fridays and Saturdays.
• Lindon (6.7 miles): Connector between Highland and Orem/Provo with consistent State Street corridor traffic and weekday errand trips.
• Draper (8.0 miles): Captures northbound professionals and outdoor enthusiasts near the Point of the Mountain; trailhead and flight-park recreation push weekend surges. City resources and events: Draper City
• Orem (10.0 miles): University Place and State Street retail corridors drive family traffic, with University Place events drawing crowds for markets and performances. Calendar: City of Orem

Audience Patterns and Timing Tactics

• Weekday peaks: Expect pronounced AM peaks 7:00–9:00 and PM peaks 4:00–6:30 along I‑15 and SR‑92, with commute slowdowns near the Lehi Main St and SR‑92 interchanges flagged regularly by UDOT incident feeds. Heavier Mon–Thu “commute-weighted” flights are effective for professional services, B2B SaaS, gyms, QSR, and childcare.
• Weekend retail and family recreation: Retail trips concentrate late morning to mid‑afternoon Saturdays, with University Place and American Fork corridors seeing elevated parking utilization and event-driven footfall. Thanksgiving Point festivals and Ashton Gardens seasonal events can spike SR‑92 traffic Thursday–Sunday. Event schedules: Thanksgiving Point and City of Orem
• Seasonal shifts:
  • Late spring–early fall: Outdoor recreation, lawn/landscape, and home improvement demand rises; leverage bright, high-contrast creative with holiday tie-ins around Memorial Day, Pioneer Day (July 24), and Labor Day.
  • Back-to-school (Aug–Sep): Alpine School District enrolls over 80,000 students districtwide, driving seasonal demand for school supplies, tutoring, healthcare, and extracurriculars.
  • Holiday retail (Nov–Dec): Expect higher evening and weekend volumes around American Fork, Orem, and Lehi shopping areas; countdown and limited-time frames increase urgency.

Use UDOT updates for planned construction on I‑15 and SR‑92 to time increased delivery during congestion windows that lengthen dwell time. This is especially effective if you’re testing billboard rental near Highland and want measurable lift during slower traffic.

Creative That Resonates Near Highland

• Family-first messaging: Emphasize safety, value, community, and quality. Localize with references like “Minutes from SR‑92” or “Near Thanksgiving Point.”
• Premium but practical: Higher incomes support better-tier offerings; pair aspirational imagery with clear price or financing (e.g., $0 down, 12-month promo).
• Outdoor lifestyle cues: Wasatch imagery, trail/running/biking motifs, and weekend adventure themes fit Draper and Lehi boards.
• Clean, fast-reading design:
  • 7 words or fewer on the main line; font sizing for readability from 500–600 ft at 55–65 mph.
  • High-contrast palettes; limit to one CTA such as “Exit at SR‑92,” “Order by tonight,” or a short URL/QR code.
• Variant testing: Rotate 2–3 creatives swapping headline or offer; use time-of-day variants (AM “Beat the rush,” PM “Dinner in 10 min”).

Smart Scheduling With Blip

• Dayparting:
  • Commute blocks (7–9 AM, 4–6:30 PM) near Lehi and Draper to reach tech workers and service professionals traveling the Point of the Mountain.
  • Midday (11 AM–2 PM) in American Fork and Orem to capture retail and dining decisions.
• Day-of-week strategies:
  • Mon–Wed for appointment-heavy verticals (healthcare, dental, auto service).
  • Thu–Sat heavier delivery for dining, entertainment, and weekend retail tied to local calendars.
• Frequency building: Aim for 10–15 daily plays per sign in a focused 6–8 board cluster for 14 days to establish recall, then expand across more signs for reach.
• Weather and event pivots: On hot days, push cold-beverage and indoor entertainment; during snow or inversions, promote HVAC, auto service, and delivery. Check local weather alerts and UDOT incident pages for rapid swaps.

Budgeting and Flight Structure Recommendations

• Launch: 2-week concentrated flight across 6–8 boards near Lehi, American Fork, and Draper with commute-heavy dayparting to validate message fit. Target 10–15 plays per board per day to reach consistent frequency for commuters. This provides a low-risk way to test billboard advertising near Highland before scaling.
• Scale: Add Orem and Lindon for weekend reach and retail crossovers; widen dayparts once KPIs (web sessions, store footfall, promo redemptions) lift by 15–25% from baseline.
• Always-on anchor: Maintain a minimal evergreen presence (e.g., 3–4 boards during lower-CPM windows mid-mornings and early evenings) to preserve continuity, then spike around product launches, city events, or holidays.

Local Events and Calendars to Leverage

• Thanksgiving Point in Lehi hosts frequent festivals, museums, and gardens events that increase traffic along SR‑92; align promotions around major weekends and seasonal light shows and tulip festivals.
• Draper and American Fork city event calendars drive localized spikes for parades, markets, and races:
  • Draper events and news
  • American Fork events and news
• Orem community happenings near University Place lift weekend shopping traffic; check city and mall calendars for farmers markets, concerts, and holiday activations:
  • City of Orem
  • University Place events

Plan creative “event overlays” (for example, “This weekend only” or “5 minutes from the gardens”) and flight them Thursday–Sunday. These overlays are ideal when you’re evaluating Highland billboards for timely promotions.

Measurement and Optimization

• Trackable offers: Use Highland-specific promo codes or localized URLs to isolate performance (e.g., /highlandSR92).
• Geo-lift analysis: Compare web traffic and store visits from Highland-area ZIPs (84003, 84004, 84005, 84020) against baseline weeks.
• Creative iteration cadence: Refresh visuals every 3–4 weeks; rotate seasonal messages monthly and align with city event calendars.
• Placement performance: After 2–3 weeks, shift budget toward the top 30% of placements by proxy metrics (QR scans, correlated site sessions, or store traffic), while maintaining minimal coverage on remaining boards for reach.

Verticals That Perform Well Near Highland

• Home services and upgrades (roofing, solar, landscaping, HVAC): High homeownership and larger lots in neighboring communities support premium service packages; promote financing (for example, 12–24 month promo rates) and warranties.
• Family healthcare, dental, orthodontics: Emphasize proximity to SR‑92, same-day appointments, and evening/weekend hours to serve dual-income households.
• Education and enrichment: Tutoring, music, and sports training align with Alpine School District’s large K–12 base; promote back-to-school timelines and tryouts.
• Premium CPG and specialty grocery: Position quality and convenience; allocate heavier Thursday–Saturday schedules near American Fork and Orem retail.
• Outdoor, fitness, and recreation: Leverage proximity to Draper trails and Point of the Mountain recreation; emphasize local pickup and weekend classes.
