HOW IT WORKSFrom a board to a booked deal

From a pin on the map
to a pitch in the inbox.

doohthis studies the area around every board, matches it to the brands that fit, and explains the reason in the first email. It also tracks how the time of year changes which brands are the best fit. Each step is described below.

01
01 · Onboard

Drop in your boards.

Every board you own goes in once — by spreadsheet or on the map — and everything after this step runs on it.

  • Upload a CSV, or add boards one at a time on the map
  • Stacked faces are split into A and B, each sold on its own
  • Static, digital, transit and street furniture

02 · Analyze

Read every board’s DNA.

doohthis builds a profile of the place around each board — who drives past and when, what’s nearby, how the year moves. This is the location intelligence every recommendation stands on.

WatchBoard DNA, explainedHow doohthis reads a board and ranks the verticals that fit for your dates.
  • Traffic, direction and commute patterns
  • Demographics and spending around the board
  • Nearby anchors, schools, events and tourism

03 · Time

Read both calendars.

The best buyer for a board in October is often different from the best buyer in May. doohthis scores every vertical month by month against two calendars, and the ranking moves with them.

  • The local calendar — weather, sports seasons, the school year, holidays, festivals and tourism
  • The buyer’s own calendar — tax season, open enrollment, back to school, year-end sales, the holidays
  • Every recommendation says which calendar put it there

04 · Fuse

Match the place to the brands.

Location intelligence is fused with firmographic intelligence — what’s happening inside the brands that could buy the board. A new clinic, a store opening or a hiring push turns a cold pitch into a timely one.

  • Store openings, expansion and launches
  • Hiring pushes, sponsorships, revenue and headcount
  • Every match carries the reason it fits
fusion
LocationMedical campus nearby · commuter corridor · flu season Oct–Nov

Why it fits: healthcare ranks #1 for Oct–Nov — the medical district is nearby, and flu-shot season and open enrollment fall inside the horizon.

05 · Uncover

See who to sell — for the dates you have open.

Pick the horizon that matches the board’s availability. doohthis ranks the verticals that fit it then, breaks each into sub-verticals, and lists the brands inside them, national and local.

  • Ranked verticals for your chosen start and end dates
  • Sub-verticals shown as headers on the brands page
  • Pull in more brands for a sub-vertical when you need them

06 · Pitch

Send a story, not a rate card.

doohthis writes the first email around the reason the board fits, to the right person at the brand. It sets the length to the reader — short for a national brand’s media team, a fuller explainer for a local owner who has never bought a billboard.

  • Add your own angle, such as something you learned in person
  • One email per person on the buying committee, reviewed in one grid
  • Photo sheets and proposals attached, ready to go
first email
To: Dana Whitfield · Sanford Health
Hi Dana — flu-shot season and open enrollment both land in October and November, and our Hwy 2 & 21st Ave E board sits on the main road into Bemidji’s medical district. Can I send you a mockup with Sanford on it?
✦ Your angle · only Dana — “We met at the Bemidji State homecoming.”

Outbound is where it starts.

The board DNA behind every pitch also answers the buyers who find you, and keeps the accounts you’ve won growing.
