Tips For Effective OOH Advertising

By Earlene McGee


Out of home advertising has better impact compared to other popular marketing methods such as telephone calls. When prospective clients view these advertisements, they are likely to take further action through either purchase or doing further research. To reap the full benefits from OOH advertising, you should understand a few important tips.

It is hard for people to ignore out of home advertisements such as billboards. Unfortunately, these people might be inside moving vehicles so they might not be able to read the entire message. The advertiser should therefore combine the campaign with mobile or online communication to enhance conversion. For someone who only reads the headline, it should be possible to get more information with a simple online search.

Your design might affect the conversion rate. To reap good results, you need to stick to certain design principles. Information should be kept simple, so it's best to stick to one idea. Otherwise, you will just confuse your target audience. You should also opt for large, legible fonts and contrasting colors because they help make the message more readable. All these principles apply whether you are setting up and ordinary or digital billboard.

Some people only pay attention if billboards are set up in select locations. Others will only be interested in messages that appear during certain hours of the day if the billboard is digital. Some target hours could be during lunchtime or other breaks from regular work. You should do some research to establish the best time, even if this will increase costs. The extra cost will be offset if you get a higher conversion rate.

Another factor that can help improve conversion from this form of advertising is offering interaction or rewards. Adverts that offer discount vouchers, or those that offer entries to competitions are likely to spark more attention. You should think of ways to add interaction to your advertisements.

For success in outdoor advertising, you need to choose your message carefully. Two statements that deliver the same message might have different impacts depending on the way you draft them. For instance, if you want to offer a product for a lower price, including a timeline when this will be possible will prompt people to take action. A short period gives the message urgency so more people are likely to respond within a short time.

You should do some analysis to understand your target audience better. Even though every location is visited by different people, some areas are more popular with certain groups. You need to find out whether a targeted area is popular with the class of people you want your message to reach. If not, you could be wasting resources.

Although you need to be original, sometimes it is good to apply ideas that have been used by others effectively in the past. This will save you the hassle of testing whether ideas work or not. This can be good, especially if working on a tight budget. With the discussed tips, you should get good results from your advertising campaign.
