ABSTRACT
The aim of this research work is to find out the Effects of Billboard 
Advertising on Product Promotion, in Enugu Metropolis.  To do this, I used survey research method to elicit the desired information from the sample produced.
In this work I started the research problems, set the objective and significance of the study, communicated the research questionnaire, reviewed some relevant literature, defined some terms, and hypothesis.  In the work, the whole of the given tested hypothesis was empirically supported.
From the finding, it was observed that:
i) Billboard creates awareness of product existence, more especially on newly introduced goods, and increases the sales.
ii) Billboard advertising is more likely to convey the advertising messages to the target audience than other form of advertising.
iii) Billboard advertising appeals more to advertisement than other forms of advertising and position goods and services quicker in people’s mind than any other media.
iv) Billboard generally influences consumer’s decision.
v) Billboard advertising does complement other means of advertising, thereby carrying the same message on products and services with radio, TV and other media.
After analyzing these findings and drawing conclusion, the researcher made some recommendations.
