The Truth About Billboard Advertising

By Nancy Johnson


Companies are often faced everyday with the struggle of how to put their brand across a wide range of audience. Marketing strategies has never been tougher to think about as the competition becomes tighter. Stakes has proved to soar higher over the years and the advantage of technology.

The difference lies on how they use it. You should know how to make something like billboard advertising count. With so many ads seen everywhere, people only remember a few. And those that stick in the mind can only mean they were so effectively made. It does not take several meetings to achieve that. Just a clear artistic and practical marketing vision will do.

Show, do not tell. Never forget that, because that is a vital and often ignored principle that the business world will do well to understand. Marketing your brand in the snap of fingers is not impossible. You can do it through billboards, that is why they are built large enough to handle what you want to put across.

That means you do not have to explain the picture in words. Make it something that already tells the people what it is about, the moment they see it. Less is more in words because people are naturally visual. Take advantage of that fact when you plan on a design.

Make yours straight to the point by letting it speak for itself. And frankly, anyone will not have time to read through. It has to be strong enough to put your message across without being wordy. A strong tagline with about three or five words usually does the trick.

Shy away from packing a lot of information in one picture. A person has a photographic memory. And because of that, he will not remember billboards that has too much going on in it. You will get a better response with something that has the message already, by just looking at it in one glance.

The impact of a campaign ad also relies on the colors. You will be able to make a product registered in the minds of people by a higher percentage with higher color contrasting on your design. Aside from that, they are also easy to see from a far distance. That means, it will be far reaching, and the need to create many more will be lesser.

It does not have to be complex. If people figure out what it means immediately, the chances of getting a good response to the product is higher. Of course putting them is not cheap. Even just one can cost you so much. You cannot argue with the fact however, that the more you put across a city, the better it would be.

It may seem to be an expensive side. But if you are in the city and do not want to be left behind, this type of ad strengthens your sales more. Big and small business knows that for a fact already. For one, it is the most noticeable when it comes to marketing in print. Its size alone cannot be ignored, so you can rely on it giving you good returns when designed effectively.
