Billboard advertising is the use of large-scale print advertisements in public places to promote a company, brand, product, service, or campaign. Billboards are commonly placed in high-traffic areas such as highways and cities so that many drivers and pedestrians can see them. One of the best ways to advertise if you want to get a lot of views and impressions is with billboards because they are widely visible.
If you are a new advertiser looking to get started with billboard advertising, these tips will help you build your campaign right away!
1. Begin with a story
The key to a successful billboard ad campaign is to use imagery and text to tell a story. It is preferable to tell a story primarily through visuals rather than text because most people will lose interest after a few words.
2. Consider your billboard’s location
Billboard designs that consider location are especially effective. Consider incorporating local sports teams, nicknames, or inside jokes. This can help viewers connect with and remember your billboard and brand.
3. Designing the billboard
Because hundreds or thousands of people will see your billboard, it must be well-designed. To make your billboard stand out, keep it simple and bold. Billboard designs that are simple appeal to the greatest number of viewers. Additionally, use large and bold fonts to catch the attention of commuters.
4. Consider the cost
You need to think about the cost of the billboard and the many factors that affect it. Such factors include where it is, how much traffic is in the area, and how many people are likely to see your ad.
Billboard advertising does not only involve the cost of renting ad space. There are also costs associated with designing, printing, and constructing the billboard, but the cost will depend on the agency or designer you’re using as well as the complexity of your design.
It is key to factor in all these when preparing for your billboard ad campaign.
