The objective of each advertising campaign differs from another. Keeping this point in mind, advertisers adopt various mediums of advertising which best suit the requirements of their brand promotion campaign. Outdoor advertising is one of the oldest mediums of brand promotion. Advertising brands through outdoor media vehicles such as billboards, hoardings, kiosks, posters etc have been in vogue ever since the advent of advertising in India. Five important features/ advantages of outdoor advertising are explained below-
-Cost efficiency: Out of home advertising methods are cost effective ways to promote a brand or service because OOH advertising is mostly one time investment. One outdoor ad can be kept for weeks, months or even years (provided the ad is not deteriorated by weather or alike factors). Hence, in out of home advertising one doesn’t need to invest again and again. Just invest once and wait and watch to observe the impact.
-Better reach: Outdoor ads provide better reach to customers as compared to other advertising practices. This is because outdoor ads cannot be switched off like television or print ads. One can avoid a television ad by changing the channel but one cannot avoid an outdoor ad by staying inside home and not going out. The bottom line is that everyone moves out of home and while moving out of home, one happens to watch all those outdoor ads about various brands. The compelling viewership provided to audiences is one of the major advantages or features of an OOH advertising campaign.
-Potential to reach intended customers: Outdoor brand promotion practices such as airport advertising, mall advertising etc have potentials to reach the targeted customers. Airport advertising is one of the most common practices of outdoor brand promotion. Any advertising campaign whether home based or outdoor is successful if it reaches out to the target audience. In such case, outdoor ads have the ability to reach and influence a defined target group with an affluent brand experience.
-Scope for creativity and longevity: Outdoor advertising provides more scope for creativity and longevity while promoting a brand, service, idea or business activity. This scope for creativity and longevity makes outdoor advertising an effective and reliable tool for brand promotion.
-Constant or non-stop exposure to public: Outdoor ads whether airport advertising or mall advertising provide constant exposure about the brand to the general public. This is another striking feature/ benefit of outdoor advertising. Maximum exposure in the market place means attracting a larger number of target audiences. Advertising is a customer-centric affair and attracting old/new pool of customers is equally important for an advertiser to promote his brand or service.
Outdoor advertising India is becoming trendy day by day. Especially with the advent of digital technology, outdoor advertising has undergone a radical change as compared to the conventional modes and techniques of brand promotion. The trends of outdoor advertising India are yet to revamp and renovate further with a touch of technological sophistication.
