Why do you should use out-of-home advertising?

Out-of-home (OOH) advertising provides a solution across core marketing objectives. With advances in technology that have raised it to an art form in some settings, OOH provides targeted marketing and one of the highest returns on investment.

OOH can raise brand awareness by engaging target audiences with strong market penetration. It can also create consideration with placements in close proximity to points-of-interest (POIs) to influence a sale. There are many activation opportunities for OOH to return against objectives. To achieve these goals, marketing campaigns need to reach consumers where they live, work, and play.

Other benefits OOH can provide for your business include:

· Timed displays, which can be set to run ads all day or during peak hours

· Non-traditional & experiential activations capture the public’s attention and encourage interaction and social shares

OOH Advertising Myths Debunked

· Cost of entry for OOH is high. This is simply not the case, as OOH does not have spending minimums. In fact, OOH is extremely budget-friendly based on your key objectives, market nuances, and target audience. For example, if your desired outcome is to reach shoppers during micro-moments in key essential businesses, there is a good chance that hyperlocal OOH inventory exists to match your messaging needs at a very efficient cost.

· OOH is flashy, big & bold. While OOH can be big and bold from freeway placements and hand painted wallscapes, not every program needs to appear in Times Square or on Sunset Blvd. You can make a huge impact with consumers on a more intimate level through digital displays at the doctor’s office, gas station, or bus stop.

· OOH is hard to measure. False! OOH is increasingly easy to accurately reach precise audiences through location observation data in the physical world. As audiences encounter OOH placements, their exposures can be attributed to business outcomes such as store and website visitations or sales lifts.
