DOOH Marketing Platform: Plan, Buy & Measure Digital Out-of-Home Campaigns
Indio's own street count barely tops 89,000 people, but the Coachella Valley around it swells from roughly 300,000 residents in a summer month toward 600,000 by January as snowbirds return, then spikes again every April when Coachella and Stagecoach fill the Empire Polo Club[4]. A media plan built for a normal weekday misses most of what this market actually looks like most of the year, so this page uses a 30-mile plan around downtown Indio — wide enough to cover the whole sellable Coachella Valley trade area, from Palm Springs down through Coachella.
That's the same idea behind digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising generally: a message placed on the screens already built into daily life — gas-pump displays, grocery aisles, doctor's-office waiting rooms, bars, and casual-dining TVs — reaching people wherever they actually are instead of a browser tab they can close. Goldfish Ads plans, buys, and measures that inventory across 100+ US markets and 35+ venue types. Run it yourself in the self-serve platform and launch in under 24 hours, or hand the whole thing to our team to manage.
Plan
Search real inventory by market, venue type, and audience, then build a media plan in seconds.
Buy
Activate programmatically across every screen — run it yourself or let our team manage it, with no insertion-order back-and-forth.
Measure
Foot-traffic attribution, website lift, and brand studies close the loop on every campaign.
Here's exactly what's bookable across that 30-mile Coachella Valley footprint right now.
Why Indio Matters
Every April, Goldenvoice fills the Empire Polo Club's 1,000 acres[8] twice over: first for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, run across two consecutive 3-day weekends with a current stated capacity of 125,000[6], then for the Stagecoach country-music festival the very next weekend — a Goldenvoice sister event that Wikipedia calls the largest and highest-grossing country music festival in the world, with a 2019 peak of 80,000 attendees[7]. Neither crowd could avoid the screens along the way in and out even if it wanted to.
Indio itself carries 89,137 residents[2], but it anchors a Coachella Valley whose nine incorporated cities — Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage — totaled 370,135 residents at the 2020 Census[4], and the Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Indians' Fantasy Springs Resort Casino near I-10 adds a 250-room resort and 100,000 sq ft of events space as one of the city's largest private employers[9]. Away from the festival calendar, the steadiest year-round paychecks come from Desert Sands Unified School District, Indio's single largest employer, and the County of Riverside, its second-largest — the eastern valley's government and services hub[2].
On an ordinary day, 79.4% of Indio workers drive alone with a mean commute of 23 minutes[5] — and the city's own record high of 125°F, set July 6, 1905[2], is a reminder that most of that driving happens with the AC on and a screen or two along the way.

Indio Billboard Sizes & Creative Formats
These are the actual screen sizes running in the live Indio plan[1], counted as unique screens. You don't build a file per screen — you build one creative per aspect ratio and export it to each resolution. The market is mostly 16:9 landscape, with a block of 9:16 portrait for grocery, gas-pump, and doctor's-office screens.
| Resolution (px) | Aspect | Orientation | Screens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1920×1080 | 16:9 | Landscape | 598 |
| 1080×1920 | 9:16 | Portrait | 68 |
| 1400×400 | 7:2 | Landscape (spectacular) | 18 |
| 720×1280 | 9:16 | Portrait | 11 |
| 1280×720 | 16:9 | Landscape | 7 |
| 728×90 | 364:45 | Landscape (banner strip) | 5 |

How Much Does DOOH Cost in Indio?
You don't need a national media budget or an agency contract to put a message in front of Indio. Campaigns start for as little as $50 a day, with no long-term commitment attached — launch, pause, and adjust on your own schedule.
Every screen in the plan sells at one flat, transparent CPM (cost per thousand impressions): a grocery screen in Old Town, a gas-station screen off I-10, or a casual-dining screen near the polo grounds, all the same price. A bigger budget simply buys more impressions across the footprint, never access to a different tier of inventory. Scale up around Coachella and Stagecoach weekends or the winter snowbird season, and scale back down whenever you want.
Start at $50/day
Enough to put a real message on Indio screens — test the market before you scale.
No commitment
No annual contract, no minimum term. Run a single week or run all year.
One flat CPM
Every venue type priced the same — your budget buys impressions, not access tiers.

Target Screens Along Any Route, Not Just a Radius
A radius treats every screen inside the circle the same. A route is different: hand us a real drive — a highway, a daily commute, a delivery loop — and Goldfish traces it with the Mapbox routing engine[15], then geofences every bookable screen within reach of that exact path, end to end.
The Coachella Valley's road grid gives three obvious candidates: I-10 running the length of the valley's north edge; Highway 111 (locally Indio Boulevard) tracing the valley's main street through Palm Desert and into Coachella; and CA-86 heading south past Bermuda Dunes toward Thermal and the valley's agricultural south end. Pick one to see the screens hugging it and the venue mix along the whole corridor — every dot is a live, bookable screen from the same 30-mile plan[1].
0 bookable screens sit within 0.75 miles of I-10 East-West Corridor (Coachella, CA → Cabazon, CA, 42.1 route miles). The mix along this corridor:
Corridor screens are filtered live from the 30-mile Indio plan [1] against Mapbox driving geometry [15], counting each screen within the listed buffer of the route.

Frequently Asked Questions About Indio DOOH
What is DOOH advertising?
Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is advertising on the digital screens you pass in the real world — grocery-aisle screens, gas-pump screens, doctor's-office waiting rooms, bars, movie theaters, and digital billboards. It's a format viewers cannot skip, block, or mute, and it reaches people while they're out living their day.
How much does DOOH advertising cost in Indio?
Indio DOOH campaigns start for as little as $50 a day with no long-term commitment. Every screen is sold at one flat, transparent CPM (cost per thousand impressions) — the same rate across every venue type — so a larger budget simply earns more impressions across the Coachella Valley rather than access to different inventory.
What types of screens can I book in Indio?
The live 30-mile Indio plan carries 754 active digital screens across venue types including doctor's offices, grocery, movie theaters, gas stations, casual dining, and bars.
How many people can an Indio DOOH campaign reach?
The current Indio plan delivers roughly 142.3 million monthly impressions across the Coachella Valley, which sits in Nielsen DMA #145 (Palm Springs) with 167,060 TV homes.
Does an Indio campaign reach Coachella and Stagecoach crowds?
Yes. The 30-mile plan is centered on downtown Indio and blankets the gas-station, grocery, casual-dining, and billboard screens festival crowds pass on the way in and out of the Empire Polo Club grounds where both festivals are held, plus the hotels, restaurants, and retail across the valley where they stay and spend.
How fast can an Indio DOOH campaign launch?
Campaigns launch in under 24 hours — plan, buy, and go live the same day, instead of the weeks that traditional out-of-home buying takes. Run it yourself in the Goldfish Ads platform, or have our team plan and manage it for you.
