Booking Support

Need help booking billboard or wall space advertising? RentThisWall guides property owners and advertisers through the steps from enquiry to installation. Our support covers availability checks, consent guidance, bylaw process support and campaign coordination across South Africa.

Booking Support

Start With the Right Booking Enquiry

The booking process begins when you send an enquiry through the contact page with as much detail as possible. Include the area you want to advertise in, the type of site you need, campaign dates and whether you are looking for a short-term or longer run. If you already have artwork sizes or a preferred format, add that too so the first response is more useful.

For advertisers in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein and nearby areas such as Sandton and Midrand, a clear brief helps us match the request to suitable listings faster. It also avoids back and forth later when the site is almost ready and timing matters.

  • Share the target area and suburb
  • Note your preferred start and end dates
  • State if you need a wall, billboard, or another outdoor format
  • Attach artwork dimensions if available

How We Match Your Brief To Available Sites

Once your enquiry comes in, the team checks the live listings and looks for spaces that fit your brief, budget range and campaign timing. The matching process takes into account the property location, visibility, format, and whether the site is still available for your intended period. We also look at practical issues such as access for installation and any site-specific conditions from the property owner.

In Braamfontein and other busy inner-city areas, timing and access can change quickly, so it helps to keep your brief flexible where possible. If one site is not available, we can suggest another that still meets the main goal of the campaign.

  • Availability is checked against the requested dates
  • Site type and size are compared to your artwork needs
  • Any access or installation notes are flagged early
  • Alternatives are offered when the first choice is not open

Consent Checks And Municipal By-law Guidance

Outdoor and wall advertising always needs the property owner’s consent before anything can move forward. It also needs the correct local municipal bylaw approval, depending on where the site is located. We guide both advertisers and property owners through the paperwork steps so the booking is handled properly from the start.

This part matters in places like Johannesburg, Pretoria and coastal cities such as Cape Town and Durban, where rules can differ from one area to the next. A site that looks perfect may still need extra checks, and that is normal. The support process is there to keep everyone on the same page and avoid delays later.

  • Property owner consent is required for every booking
  • Municipal bylaw approval may be needed before installation
  • Site conditions can change the approval path
  • Support is available for both owner and advertiser queries

Artwork Checks Before Production Or Installation

Once a site is selected, the next step is making sure the artwork is right for the space. We check the file details, dimensions and any technical notes linked to the listing. This reduces the risk of a print that does not fit, is unreadable from the intended angle, or needs reworking at the last minute.

For sites exposed to strong sun, wind or coastal humidity, the material and finishing choice matters as well. If your campaign is going up in Durban or Cape Town, the setup may need a little more care than an inland location. Load-shedding can also affect scheduling, so it helps to plan with some lead time.

  • Confirm the exact size before production starts
  • Check file quality and wording length
  • Review any site notes on viewing distance or placement
  • Plan for weather and schedule changes where needed

Installation Scheduling And On-Site Coordination

After the booking is confirmed and the approvals are in place, installation can be scheduled. We coordinate the practical side with the property owner and the relevant teams so the work happens at the right time and with the right access. If the site needs after-hours fitting or has access restrictions, that is worked into the plan early.

For campaigns around Sandton, Midrand and other high-activity areas, this step often involves a few moving parts. The team keeps the booking notes together, confirms the site contact details and helps make sure the handover is clear. That way the installation does not get held up by missing information or a locked gate.

  • Installation timing is arranged with the site contact
  • Access notes are confirmed before the day of work
  • Campaign start dates are tracked carefully
  • Any changes are shared before they become a problem

Ongoing Campaign Monitoring And Renewal Support

Booking support does not stop once the space is taken. During the campaign, the listing can be checked for changes, renewal needs or updates from the property owner. If the advertiser wants to extend the run, the team can help with the next steps and confirm whether the site is still open for a new period.

This is useful for businesses that want a steady presence across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban or Bloemfontein without having to restart the full process every time. When a campaign ends, renewal support helps keep the handover neat, whether you are extending the same site or looking for another location nearby.

Our aim is to keep the booking process practical, clear and properly recorded, so both sides know where things stand.

Questions we get asked

What information should I include in my booking enquiry?

Send the area, preferred dates, site type, artwork size if available and any special access or timing notes. The clearer the brief, the easier it is to match you with suitable space.

Do I need permission before booking a wall or billboard site?

Yes. The property owner’s consent is required, and the relevant municipal bylaw approval may also be needed before installation can go ahead.

Can you help if I want to extend or renew a campaign?

Yes. Renewal support is available if the site is still open and the property owner is happy to continue. We help confirm the next dates and keep the booking details in order.
