What is Outdoor Advertising?

Outdoor advertising targets consumers when they are out of their homes. It complements broadcast, print or online advertising very well. Furthermore, It reaches consumers while they are on the go.

Outdoor Advertising is very flexible and reaches a specific audience based on their travelling habits. Businesses of all sizes can utilise the urban landscape in a creative way to promote their message across a variety of forms:

• Firstly, Billboards – both traditional and digital billboard advertising.
• Street Furniture – bus shelters, telephone kiosks and rubbish bins.
• Transit Advertising – Buses, Trains, Taxis and the underground.
• Finally, Alternative Formats – Bikes, Petrol Pumps etc etc.

Outdoor advertising generally has a favourable reception. It can reach both a target audience of a specific service and a more general audience building a brand’s visibility and attracting new customers. For example, a roadside billboard can entice a wide range of enquiries from wealthy tourists and high earning professionals to families and youngsters.

Why Use Outdoor Advertising?

In today’s digital age, it’s never been harder to grasp the attention of a potential customer. Large amounts of  information are thrown at people everyday through different channels. This forces people to carefully select what information they digest.

An outdoor advertisement placed in a strategic location engages with thousands of individuals in a non-intrusive manner. Brands get displayed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s also an efficient way to target specific audiences.

Outdoor advertising is an effective way to reach new customers, because, unlike print or television, it cannot simply be skipped or turned off.  You can take advantage of the time people spend waiting in traffic, using public transport or just simply commuting.

Idle people waiting for the bus or gazing through their car window are easier to engage with and more willing to offer you their undivided attention. Billboards are a visual medium and have a significantly larger scale than the print or online medium. Therefore, outdoor advertising demands attention. In other words, it helps small businesses to create a brand within the local area.
