WHY CHOOSE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING?

In today’s consumer driven environment, it is more difficult than ever for brands to stand out and create an impression in the wild mix of the current state of advertising overload.  During an economy in recession, outdoor advertising, with its high cost effectiveness, is the most effective option for companies. So, this begs the question. Are you looking to increase brand awareness while maintaining a strong competitive advantage? You are? Splendid! Now, let us fill you in on how OOH (Out-Of-Home) advertising can do that for you.

Mobile Consumerism Is reliable.

There is one variable that has yet to change in advertising. That is, mobile consumerism. People still drive, take the bus, ride bikes and carpool. Highways are still jam packed at rush hour and everyone still gets stuck in traffic – you may be stuck in traffic right now and in that case, put your phone down! The point is, OOH advertising guarantees brand exposure at targeted times of the day to your growing, massive and mobile targeted demographic. People in transit = Constant exposure. It’s all about putting your message in the right place and outdoor advertising is your best bet.

Outdoor Advertising Provides Repetitive Exposure.

That’s, 7 days and week, 31 days a month. It doesn’t get much more repetitive than that.  Every minute of the day, every day of the week, OOH advertising is working for you. You don’t have to worry about whether a radio station played your commercial, or whether a newspaper lands in the right lap. A billboard is a billboard. A poster is a poster. OOH, sticks! Outdoor advertising remains a growth medium because it continues to reach mobile masses or targeted audiences, day and night, around the clock. People spend time outside of the home, running errands, shopping, constantly consuming, actively mobile and acting as your outdoor audience. It’s just up to you to grab their attention!

OOH Delivers High Frequency At Each Location.

OOH advertising reaches your audience over an extended period of time at specific locations. Billboards, posters and other outdoor media, target demographics specific to your needs. The high frequency of OOH advertising drives that point of sale moment for a consumer and increases impulse purchasing through constant brand recall. How do you compare the 24-7 exposure of a billboard to a newspaper ad?

Your Ad Will Be Seen The Day It Goes Up.

Unlike other mediums, OOH advertising is seen instantly. The second your ad is on that kiosk or your billboard is up is the second OOH advertising is working for you. With radio commercials or TV commercials, there is only the hope that you will reach your target audience at the time you’ve planned. With OOH advertising, that “hope” is brought to fruition and fulfills mass disclosure, instantly!

Outdoor And Its Immunity To New Media.

Unlike some new media outlets, like radio, TV, and print advertising, OOH advertising cannot be turned off or put down. There is no way to control how long a consumer thumbs through a magazine or how long someone will listen to the radio. Nowadays, Consumers have a choice to avoid new media advertising.

Not only are billboards, kiosks and bulletins efficient on their own, but also they are the best way to seal the deal, in your marketing campaign. Mass recall to your brand will only emphasize and support other media you are implementing into your campaign. A billboard is that last “oomph!” of convincing which can influence an instant point of sale. Why would you not want a piece of that action?
