What are mobile billboards?Well I am sure most of you have an idea what a regular billboard is, well a mobile billboard is the same almost, except that it is moving.
You can find it in it’s various forms. You can see it in San Diego truck advertising, or vehicles built specifically to carry billboards around.
Why are people using this form of medium to get their message or brand across? I have some unique insights I am going to share that I have gained from running my own mobile billboards San Diego company.
First off, let’s talk about it’s expenses. Mobile billboards prices are actually very comparable if not better than your traditional outdoor media such as traditional billboards.
With its rates being very cheap comparably if not better, there is something else that tilts it in it’s favor.Actual views, exposures, or impressions to the prospects.
Compared to the usual billboards out there, that a prospect could just pass it by without even looking. 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 pass it by.It is stuck with you in traffic right at eye level
This is very powerful.A prospect who is caught in traffic with an advertisement staring at them in the face can’t be turned off.
That is one of the obstacles that TV and Radio face as traditional forms of advertising.With the invention of satellite radio and Tivo, a prospect could practically go without commercials.
So opting to go with mobile billboards gives the advertiser the ability to have their message read and impressed upon the consumer’s mind.
If you want to build brand recognition as a business, there aren’t too many better ways to display your ad than by showing it in beautiful color as a full color display ad.It speaks loudly for attention.And when your prospect doesn’t have anything else to do in traffic, you really don’t need to scream as loud as other forms of advertising.
With a lot of businesses struggling because of the economy, using mobile ads might be just the trick they need to save their business.More customers and more leads are going to come based on this form of advertising.
You are guaranteed exposure.You are pretty much guaranteed to getting your message read and heard.What else could an advertiser want.
You can see that it is working by the sheer number of many more businesses using it to advertise.In 2004 by itself, there was more than $5.8 billion spent on this form of advertsing. With all that money being spent, it must be working.
So for many businesses looking for more ways to find customers, this might just be what they are looking for.
