Billboard Advertising is the fastest growing form of advertising bar the web. All the major and bestknown brands are built through TV, the use of Billboard and other ambient advertising methods. Research carried out by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America made use of small cameras that measured and captured how many people looked at a billboard message and for how long. This was carried out on static billboards, mobile billboards, buses and taxis in major cities over a period of four months and the results were staggering. They measured an average of 105,000 people looked at a mobile billboard message on an average weekday for 3 seconds or more over an 8 hour period. The results were 15% higher on a weekend. The study was carried out in various cities and the above figures are an average. – www.oaaa.com

BENEFITS (Outdoor Advertising)
Principle Outdoor advertising benefits include:
- Outdoor advertising is a true broadcast medium: it is able to draw huge audiences, at a fraction of the cost of other media.
- Outdoor advertising is an extremely high reach medium.
- Outdoor advertising is an extremely cost-effective medium. If one compares the cost of outdoor advertising to television, radio and printadvertising on a cost-per-thou sand basis, it is clear that an outdoor advertising campaign offers the greatest value for money.
- Outdoor advertising is able to reach demographic groups that are difficult to target with other media. This statement is particularly valid when considering the lower LSM, rural areas. The physical, visual nature of an outdoor holding enables permanent visual presence between bursts of other media. This makes outdoor advertising an ideal medium to use in conjunction with other media, maximising the audio and visual elements of a campaign.
- Outdoor advertising cannot be “zapped, turned off, or turned over”. Advertising avoidance is a serious hindrance to media such as TV, radio, print and magazines. One of the unique outdoor advertising benefits is the difficulty with which it is consciously avoided.
- The target audience does not have to ‘subscribe’ to the medium in order to be ex posed to it. There is no financial cost or leisure-time forfeited by the viewer - outdoor advertising utilises “dead time”, when the target audience is “not looking”.
- Outdoor advertising can be used to create a “media-multiplier” effect. Effective creative has the ability to obtain additional exposure for the campaign through word-of-mouth, as well as through publicity in other media channels.
- Outdoor advertising provides extremely high frequency exposure, as well as permanent high-impact presence. High frequency is a given outdoor advertising benefit to most campaigns, with the build-up of multiple exposures occurring rapidly after the launch.
This makes outdoor advertising ideal as an integral support mechanism to other media, particularly when used in a “burst” type strategy.
- Outdoor advertising offers a brand a public face and enables brands to become part of a consumer’s daily life. The nature of an outdoor advertising holding facilitates 24-hour physical presence in the community. This can be integrally important to certain types of creative strategies; particularly for those with a community appeal, or those needing to generate a direct consumer relationship over time. This “permanent presence” allows a brand to earn a place in the minds of the consumer, offering a constant reminder that the brand is “available and on sale”.
- “The medium is the message”. The message is not part of the medium. Outdoor ad vertising is one of the few media that does not contain editorial content. Outdoor constitutes “pure advertising” with no interference imposed by editorial content or programming.
- Outdoor advertising is capable of strengthening consumers’ perception of a brand.
Research has shown that exposure to outdoor advertising which communicates a brand that the consumer is aware of and has engaged with previously, enhances im age and perception of the brand. “TV, radio, magazines, etc are too fragmented to offer returns advertisers are after. It is very costly to try and cover all the magazines out there; it’s much cheaper to advertise via out of home media and get the same exposure. Outdoor advertising is increasingly being incorporated into 360 degree campaigns, and its tactical strengths being exploited.
Based on the socio-economic environment and the mobility of the adult population, more time is being spent out of home and frequenting shopping malls. This offers the advertiser the opportunity to reach larger audiences through outdoor advertising”. – www.marketingmix.co.za
BENEFITS (In-Store Advertising)
Suddenly, the advertising trade press is abuzz with a new concept: “shopper marketing.” According to a
draft study by Deloitte from the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the investment in in-store
advertising has doubled since 2004 and is on pace for compound annual growth of 21% through 2010.
Conventional wisdom, backed by solid if not conclusive research, says that over 90% of shoppers make
unplanned purchases, and more than 70% of purchase decisions are made in-store (Gone in 2.3 Seconds
– Miller Zell Study). Yet despite that, in-store advertising still represents only 6% of marketing budget
allocations, according to Deloitte.
Meanwhile, it’s indisputably intuitive that a message delivered at point-of-purchase has the best chance
to influence the desired behaviour - getting the consumer to take the product off the shelf. Data may be
a critical aid to judgment, but marketers should be paid for using their judgment. Data always is. But it
doesn’t resolve the real issue that has inhibited the growth of advertising in the most logical of all venues
- at point-of-sale.
The culprit is the scarcity of effective media vehicles in the in-store environment. This brings us to the
shopper’s constant companion, the lowly, abused and battered shopping cart. Static signage on carts has
been around for decades, sitting forlornly in their little frames while slowly disappearing from view as the
cart fills up with purchases. But the really valuable “advertising real estate”, the space between the
consumers hands, remains, for the most part, empty.
For marketers, the opportunity to communicate with shoppers dynamically - between their hands, while
they’re shopping - is too good to resist. This valuable “new media space” could be a profitable new
frontier. – www.forbes.com/unsolicited-advice-supermarkets

GENERAL CONSUMER DATA
Shopping centre space continues to be a hub of activity for consumers of all ages, races and social backgrounds. While in the past few years, the average time spent in a mall has been around three hours. Research and recent refurbishments around major centres are indicating that consumers are spending more time and advertisers are getting more bang for their buck. For advertisers which are in the shopping centre space, it’s a completely different picture. If your campaign is correctly packaged, a brand will dominate a certain area with no competition brands in the
immediate vicinity. This will allow for advertisers to run a dedicated geographic campaign to target its market nationally during a campaign drive. – www.biz-community.co.za
