\"Matching\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a business looking to promote and are considering Outdoor Advertising, you should know that Out-of-Home (OOH) Advertising platforms aren\u2019t just the common billboards. OOH platforms span from billboards<\/i> to LED displays<\/i>, street furniture<\/i>, extraordinary executions<\/i>, to transit ads<\/i>. While they seem similar to each other, they have their own goals and advantages, depending on a brand\u2019s target. When you\u2019re starting a business or just wanting to try something \u201cnew\u201d, it\u2019s important to match OOH with your marketing goals and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Understanding OOH Platforms\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Out-of-Home Advertising is simply different types of platforms used to reach people outside of their homes. It is considered beneficial as it reaches a large and diverse audience without ads being blocked, skipped, or switched off. OOH comes in different types, here are some examples and why you should choose them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Billboards<\/b><\/h2>\n

Also known as traditional advertising, billboards are the most common type of OOH. Billboards may be perceived as costly for some businesses, but brands still use this format for their campaigns on brand awareness and keeping them as top-of-mind in their category. According to One Day Agency, an international integrated advertising and marketing agency, billboards keep a brand\u2019s target audience engaged throughout their journey outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Invest on this if:<\/b> your goal is visual impact, target wider audience in premium locations, advertise in a non-invasive method (pop-up ads or telemarketing calls).\u00a0<\/p>\n

LED Displays<\/b><\/h2>\n

This type of platform is modernly known as digital billboards which are computer-controlled electronic displays with technical abilities that take Outdoor advertising to a more creative level. LED displays play short-form videos or animations that are relatively eye-catching to various types of audiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Invest on this if:<\/b> your goal is to step out of traditional advertising and place your brand\u2019s animation in big LED screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Transit Ads<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re advertising in an urban area, transit ads are also strategic since most people are commuting daily and where else could they be found? Public transportations. One Day Agency emphasizes that transit ads are highly effective as they reach anyone \u2013 from tourists to employees, to locals. An example of this is the recent full bus ad wrap of Goya Chocolates roaming in BGC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Invest on this if: <\/b>your goal is to target different placements that are mobile and reach twice the audience than the usual. Transit ads are linked to twice-a-day daily commutes, increasing frequency exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Street Furniture\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Street furniture is considered to be an effective way of reaching your audience on a more personal level since you\u2019re putting ads where they can experience it \u2013 literally a brand experience. Additionally, street furniture like bus sheds also put people in longer dwell times as commuters stay there to wait for rides such as those that are dressed-up as a brand product or service. The iconic ones in BGC were the Flash Movie and Solmux.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Invest on this if:<\/b> your goal is to turn ordinary street furniture into something people can turn their heads to or give an ultimate brand experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Extraordinary Executions<\/b><\/h2>\n

This type of OOH is the most unique one \u2013 ads that aren\u2019t just posters or animations, but life-sized construction of products popping on top of a roof or attached to a billboard. Extraordinary executions are showstoppers that can be paired with an effect. For example, a giant Baygon spray in C5 gives the \u201cspray\u201d effect so the whole area can be \u201cmosquito-free\u201d. Or it could be a giant phone placed on a roof, giving \u201csmokey\u201d effects for people to see how \u201ccool\u201d it is. It\u2019s not just an execution people stop to look at, but also take photos for posting in their socials.<\/p>\n

Invest on this if:<\/b> your goal is to stand out and be different from the usual form of OOH.\u00a0<\/p>\n

OOH is not everything and anything all at once<\/b><\/h1>\n

We get it. OOH is for brand awareness and sales boost, but it doesn\u2019t mean it can do a miracle in one execution. You can\u2019t expect to place any type of OOH anywhere today and expect people to rush in buying your products and services tomorrow. A great OOH execution comes in strategic placement and other factors that combine the help of the physical and digital platforms. YouGov, a market research company, stresses that OOH should place clear Call-to-Action (CTAs) or pair posters with QR codes so people are automatically directed on buying decisions.<\/p>\n

Matching OOH with your goal makes it easier to track its effectiveness. It can also help your brand in ways such as:<\/p>\n
