How Can Commercial Property Owners Make Money From Blank Walls?

5 min read · Updated 2026-08-26

Short answer

A business property owner can earn money from a blank wall by renting it out as ad space. The wall has to be easy to see, big enough, in good shape, and allowed to carry that sign type under local rules. Income is never guaranteed and depends on how many advertisers want that location.

The five steps

1. **Submit the wall.** Send photos, rough size, the nearest road, and the property type. 2. **Review.** BTS Media checks how visible it is, the traffic, the wall's condition, and local sign rules. 3. **Match.** When an advertiser wants that area, we bring you the offer. 4. **Agreement.** We put the length of time, payment, rules, and access in writing before any work starts. 5. **Campaign.** We handle printing, install, upkeep, and removal.

What the owner handles

  • Approving the agreement and what types of ads are okay
  • Reasonable access for putting up and taking down the ad
  • Telling us about any lease, HOA, or lender rules

What BTS Media handles

  • Checking the local sign rules for that address
  • Finding and checking out advertisers
  • Printing, installing, maintaining, and removing the ad

What makes an owner's wall more valuable

  • Faces a road with steady traffic
  • Large, clear space with few windows or pipes
  • Clear view, with no trees or poles in the way
  • Business-zoned property
  • Near a road advertisers already ask about

The honest part

Not every wall qualifies, and nobody can promise a number before seeing the location. The review is free with no obligation, so it only costs you a few photos to find out.
