Looking at Outdoor Advertising from A Different Angle

Outdoor advertising is a form of marketing that cannot be ignored. Sometimes we notice it and sometimes we don’t. Seems contradictory doesn’t it? In fact, it isn’t.

For instance, have you ever driven past the outdoor advertisement  that says “you just proved signs work” located on a park or bus bench? Well, this is a perfect example. How did you feel? Caught? Exposed? You just read the sign! It worked!…except it didn’t, at least not yet. Sometimes outdoor advertisements work and sometimes they don’t. Just because you viewed an outdoor advertisement, doesn’t mean it was effective. We believe that whoever came up with “You just proved signs work” didn’t quite grasp and understand the world of marketing.

Looking at the sign is only the first step in a process called “conversion”. Conversion is basically the idea of converting a stranger into a customer. Someone looking at your sign can be the start of the conversion process, but —alone— it does nothing for your business or your bottom line outside of general awareness. It’s the equivalent of someone seeing your website address. Seeing is not action. Seeing has no dollar value. Yet.

We admit that an ad may linger in the mind of a consumer and influence their purchasing decisions but this is not definite. As a marketer or advertiser, did you want to wait to increase your bottom line and hope that the right people are reading your message and buying into too?

Not everyone  has the time or the money to invest in outdoor advertising – which is why there are other forms of marketing to increase your return on investment. First, keep in mind that the effectiveness of outdoor advertising depends on a number of factors. Each person on this earth is unique to one another and hold different values, beliefs and of course, interests.

So, wondering where else you can turn?
