Advertising, when done right, is a highly essential marketing tool for any business; however, do you feel as though you are utilising all the advertising avenues that are available to you and your brand? For instance, when you first think of advertising, what comes to mind? TV, radio, magazine, online... These are all very effective ways of potentially reaching a new audience, but have you ever considered the impact of roadside advertising?
What is Roadside Advertising?
Roadside advertising refers to the display of advertisements and promotional messages in outdoor locations such as along roads, highways, and streets. Ranging from billboards to roundabouts, lamp posts, phone kiosks, motorways, and even vans, roadside advertising options these days are far more extensive than most people initially realise and have been proven to reach a far wider audience than other advertising mediums.
Benefits of Roadside Advertising
There are many benefits to choosing roadside advertising for your business including:
-
Wide Reach
Roadside advertising provides your brand with a wide reach as your message will continually be viewed by passing motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and also passengers in vehicles. If you choose your location wisely your ad could end up making an impact with thousands of people per day... Everyday!
-
Continuous Exposure
While certain forms of advertising can be easily skipped, ignored or muted, roadside adverts are constantly visible to those passing by. Whether it’s cars in rush hour traffic, a bus full of commuters, a mum and baby taking a stroll or kids riding to school, your message will have continuous exposure to a very diverse audience at all times of day. If digital advertising is your choice of marketing weapon, you could even select the optimal times of day for your product/service to be shown i.e. a ready meal company would benefit the most from advertising during the evening rush hour run.
-
Local and National Reach
When choosing roadside advertising, you can target your audience by choosing the geographic areas that you know will positively impact your brand. By carefully selecting these outdoor advert locations, you will be able to reach your desired customers in particular towns, cities or regions, ensuring that your message gets in front of those who are most likely going to connect with your brand both locally and nationally.
