Mobile Billboards as a Branding Tool
How do you describe a mobile billboard? Well as most of you already know what a regular billboard is, a mobile billboard is exactly the same thing, except it is moving or mobile.
You can see it in various forms. You can see it in San Diego truck advertising, or vehicles built specifically to carry billboards around.
Why are so many businesses using this medium to get their brand or message across to the consumer? I have some unique insights I am going to share that I have gained from running my own mobile billboards San Diego company.
First of all, lets talk about cost. Mobile billboards prices are actually very comparable if not better than your traditional outdoor media such as traditional billboards.
With the advertising cost being comparable if not better, there is still another advantage in it’s favor.Actual views, exposures, or impressions to the prospects.
Compared to the traditional billboards that a customer could just go by it without noticing. But the way a mobile billboard displays it’s message, it is more effective.And the way it is able to do that is by being in the consumer’s face.You can’t just ignore it and drive past it. It is at eye level and with you in traffic
This is very powerful. A consumer who is stuck in traffic with a businesses message right in front of them can’t be tuned out.
That is one of the major problems with traditional forms of advertising like TV or radio. With the advent of Tivo and satellite radio, a consumer could practically live commercial free.
So by choosing to go with a mobile billboard, the advertiser is able to have their ad read and put into the mind of the consumer.
If you are a business who is looking to build brand recognition, what better way could there be than a bold and beautiful full color display of your ad. It screams for attention.And when the prospective customer is stuck in traffic with nothing better to do, you don’t have to be as loud as other types of advertising.
With the economy and a lot of businesses struggling, mobile advertising may just be the ticket to save their business. More leads and more customers are bound to come using this method of advertising.Â
You are guaranteed exposure.You are practically ensured of having your ad read.What else could an advertiser want.
You can see that it is effective by the fact that many businesses are now using it to advertise.In 2004 by itself, there was more than $5.8 billion used on this type of advertising.With all kinds of money being spent, it must be effective.
So for many businesses looking for more ways to find customers, this might just be what they are looking for.
