Billboard do you like?
They are big, bold and beautiful.
Billboards have been around for quite a while.
In almost all places nowadays
you can find billboards
of just about every product.
No matter how you see it,
billboard advertising is rising.
Compared to other forms of advertising,
billboards are a more affordable way
of getting your message across.
If newspaper advertising lasts only for a day and
a television ad for only about forty seconds,
billboard adverting last twenty four/seven.
Billboards can connect easily with
potential markets;
More people are mobile nowadays –
Increasing number of commuters and
more time spent outside of home.
Advances in technology made billboards more cost effective.
Advances in digital printing -
Allowed billboards to be printed cheaply
and quickly.
Billboards have been getting pocket-friendly.
Before you get your creative juices flowing and
before you plunge into the exciting world of billboard advertising
there things you need to understand.
First, don't expect the billboard to a lot of info.
The rule is simplicity.
Use only a few words.
Can make complex, intelligent and intriguing statements.
Like three balls are thrown at the same time-
Catch not all
let alone catch one.
Like throwing several ideas and message.
Throw two ideas at the same time
only few will be able to get your message.
If billboards are put up in the wrong place and
at the wrong crowd
you might as well forget your chance of getting a lot of customers.
Money is indeed being made in billboard advertising,
lots of it in fact,
although trying to keep track
of just how much the outdoor-advertising industry
is collecting.
It can be tricky,
since there is no system for measuring
the budgets and revenues
of those connected.
But the opportunity is there.
Businesses just have to make an effort and
take advantage of it.
