Using A Mobile Billboard In Outdoor Advertising

By Angela Ross


It is hard to miss an elegant billboard. It is pervasive. It is attention getting. It begs to be seen and when it is seen, it grabs the attention of an audience for a second or two, and in that time it would have already sold a product or a service. A motorist, cyclist, or pedestrian who sees it will remember the message that has been advertised, days or months after. A mobile billboard has a long lasting effect. That is why it used by Fortune 500 companies in advertising. Small firms also make use of this mode of advertising.

There are standards that govern the design of billboards. It is also important to check local rules and regulations. They are banned in some countries and cities. However, they are legal in most parts of the developed world. That is because they are considered as an important part of exercising the freedom of speech. Some of them carry very powerful messages.

The advertisement will need to be designed. The poster will made using durable materials that can easily withstand the elements. There is the need to take into account safety issues when it comes to the design process. Pictures have to be included. A picture easily captures the attention of people as compared to a bunch of words. High quality pictures will help.

Many consumers know how to ignore advertisements. They can easily change the channel when a particular TV channel starts showing advertisements. One can simply go out of the room when ads start airing on a radio channel. For the case of online advertisements, they can easily be ignored. An ad blocker can even be used to block the various web based advertisements.

It is hard to ignore billboard advertising even if a person hates ads. It is all over on the road. It captures attention from the word go. It is the most pervasive form of advertisement. While driving, all the eyes will be on the road. Therefore, one will easily see all the advertisements that have been lined along the highway.

While walking on the highway, one will need to constantly be looking on the different sides in the process of staying safe. A motorist has to pay close attention on the road to avoid being a victim of an accident. It is in the process of looking on the various sides of the road that one will see all the bill boards.

A bill board has power. It is highly visible and that is its greatest strength. For advertising to work, there needs to be visibility. The purpose of having an advert in the first place is for people to see it and subsequently carry out a particular action such as finding out more about the product that is being advertised.

In a single day, the typical road user will be able to see more than a dozen bill boards. The few seconds that a person spends on a poster is enough to convince him about checking out a product. For advertising to be effective, the message needs to be very simple. Actually, simplicity is the height of sophistication.
