Thinking of putting up a sign?

I haven't found any specific figures yet, but Travelape points out in a description of Times Square that "most billboard advertisements are elaborate, even mesmerizing, and rightly so considering the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to advertise in the square."

Pedestrians are able to view the models as they live in the billboard throughout the day and night.

About 40 models are living on the side of a building as part of New York City's first-ever live billboard.

The three-story display is a new fragrance advertisement from the Calvin Klein Cosmetics Company.

Pedestrians are able to view the models as they live in the billboard throughout the day and night.

Young models on the billboard have been instructed to create an illusion of a big party 24 hours a day. The billboard features music as well.

Unilever Cosmetics International is the New York-based manufacturer of fragrances for Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, Chloe, Cerruti and Lagerfeld.
