Although this is an age of electronic and digital marketing, outdoor advertising still has its own share of grasp on its customers. The mantra behind marketing is to keep your customers aware of your product/services all the time. This is the point where you can’t stick to a particular kind of strategy and the need to apply multiple marketing ideas will be paramount. Billboards are one effective example of outdoor marketing. Nearly every roadside is designed with a particular billboard. Their mere presence is enough to give your customers the message behind.
Billboards are large boards that display a graphical representation of products/services in an intellectual manner. The company has the freedom to design their own billboards in a way that they are catchy enough to attract the attention of the customers. Here are a few reasons that make these boards and effective outdoor advertising tool:
· They are short and crisp – The onlookers will not have more than six seconds to locate and read a billboard as they drive by. Within this time, the advertiser has to make sure that they create something that will surely attract the attention. “Show more, write less”, is the policy preferred by advertisers to design a creative billboard.
· More in numbers- You can have any number of billboards installed in various corners of the city. The chances of getting noticed increases with every other billboard that your customers come across. Buy as many numbers of billboards as you can and have them placed at different spots all over the town. The more billboards you have, the better will be your response.
· They aren’t extravagant – Some digital ads are too extravagant to be liked by customers. An advertisement shouldn’t be outrageous so much so that it might hurt or affect the sentiments of your customers in any form. In case of billboards, this mistake never happens. They are always designed with subtlety, making sure that it never raises any brows as a result of the content shown.
· They plant the seed – The motive behind this marketing tool is not to generate an instant response from the customers. It is only to create awareness so that they will try to reach you later when they have a need for a particular product/service to which you were related. This is one of the reasons why billboards don’t have mobile numbers or contact addresses of any kind.
Billboards are one genuine way of telling your customers that, “we exist”. You can easily adopt this marketing strategy by finding the right experiential marketing agency. Make sure you are going for the right one because marketing is a creative job. Unless the agency you are going to choose doesn’t have that creative potential, they might not be able to provide a billboard that might be attractive enough. To find the right outdoor advertising agency, go for its reviews and ask your friends and acquaintances if they can supply some valuable inputs. This is one effective marketing technique and you just can’t afford to miss it.
