Whether you’re already a fan of outdoor media or are just thinking about getting involved, bMedia can get you through the process in a way that will produce positive results. We have 18 outdoor billboards at strategic locations throughout Puerto Rico, and they’ve all been positioned in places that are most likely to be seen by large groups of potential customers. Additionally, we’ve done a lot of tracking to know how many people will view each one, and we can even give you more details about what types of people these are. This will help you plan your campaigns in a way that they primarily target the groups you’re hoping to reach. Also, our expertise and experience in the business allows us to give you plenty of advice on what makes a good billboard, as well as what methods will be less successful and should be avoided.

[av_toggle title=’Goals of Outdoor Media’ tags=” av_uid=’av-73p35c’]
There are many different results that can come from a successful billboard campaign, so the amount of strategies that can be followed is pretty much unlimited. However, two of the biggest reasons for creating outdoor advertising billboards are to boost your image and increase your sales numbers.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Still Useful in a Digital World’ tags=” av_uid=’av-ky31c’]
The advances of computers and technology have offered many other opportunities for advertising, and this is probably the main reason that people so often think that billboard outdoor advertising no longer works. They get used to using all the detailed tracking data provided by online sources, and they forget that physical objects can also be analyzed. But, outdoor billboards are still extremely useful, and there is still a lot of data that can be examined to determine their usefulness.

Additionally, outdoor billboards have some specific advantages over purely electronic forms of advertising. For example, when they’re driving down the road, consumers don’t have a million other flashing icons to catch their eyes like on computer screen. Also, they are basically a captive audience who has no choice but to see your message. Plus, outdoor billboard advertising doesn’t have to compete with technology because it can be used in line with other digital resources. For example, you can use your outdoor billboards to advertise your website address, and then consumers can visit that to start working with your digital strategy.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Outdoor Media is Associated with Location’ tags=” av_uid=’av-4blwn4′]
Unlike with many other forms of advertising, you can control where someone will be when they see your outdoor billboard. Using this physical advantage can be beneficial in many different ways. For example, knowing where the viewer will be allows you to put an advertisement that is relevant to their current situation, and the message can be customized to fit the feelings of the customer at that point in time. This will help them recall the message later because they will associate the feelings they received from the outdoor media billboard with what they were doing at the time. For example, if they were on the way to the beach when they saw an ad for a product to protect their skin from the sun, then they will be more likely to think of that brand when they’re shopping for something similar. Additionally, this whole strategy make consumers feel that the brand is thinking about them and is actually a part of their life. It’s a great step on the pathway to brand loyalty.

Puerto Rico Traffic

Posted on February 24, 2020 by admin

Puerto Rico has a population of just under 3.2-million people. For every 1,000 people, out of that population of 3.2-million, 614 own automobiles. The citizens of Puerto Rico rely heavily on automobiles, and this leads to traffic conditions that are not unfamiliar nor unique. Commutes during rush hour can cause frequent delays, which can be irritating for most. For business, however, high traffic conditions can mean excellent returns if you’ve invested in billboard advertising. bMedia will explain more below.

Being aware of Puerto Rico traffic conditions, and how they affect the day-to-day life of a regular Puerto Rican citizen, makes it easier to understand the power of an excellent billboard, and how to properly harness this platform for advertising. When done strategically, well-thought-out and well-placed billboard media can take advantage of extremely trafficked areas in Puerto Rico.

What To Expect When Driving In Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico’s road laws are quite similar to those found in the United States. For example, everyone in Puerto Rico drives on the right side of the road, and wearing your seatbelt is mandatory. But, despite these similarities, there are a few things that differentiate American drivers, and Puerto Rican drivers. These are quirks of the road that you’re likely to encounter on a regular basis.

If you look at the United States’ road laws, and Puerto Rico’s road laws, you’ll find that they’re quite similar. People drive on the right side of the road, you must wear a seatbelt, child seats must be used if your child is under four; those are just some examples of the road laws that Puerto Rico and the United States share.

Unlike the United States, however, traffic signs are in Spanish, rather than English. Each traffic sign is a universal traffic sign, but every word on the sign is in Spanish. Along with that, speed limits are written in Miles-Per-Hour, but distances are written in kilometers, rather than miles.

While the laws are similar to the United States, the ways in which drivers act tends to be a little different. It’s not uncommon for drivers to change lanes without using their turn signals, for example, and drivers often speed past red and yellow-lights. Along with that, speed limits are often thought of as “suggestions” rather than rules.

Despite those quirks, driving in Puerto Rico is, overall, a fairly safe and painless experience. Some drivers don’t always obey the rules of the road, but most of them do. But, with that being said, it’s important to be flexible.

What Are Some Of The Heaviest Traffic Congestion Points In Puerto Rico?

In Puerto Rico, the heaviest traffic congestion points are in San Juan. San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, and as such, it has the largest population out of any other place in Puerto Rico. Most of the Puerto Rico traffic comes from the highways and freeways that lead to and from San Juan, although there is plenty of traffic congestion to be found within the San Juan Metropolitan Area.

San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, and it’s the most populated city in Puerto Rico. In fact, the San Juan Metropolitan Area has a population of around 2.6-million, which is a significant percentage of Puerto Rico’s population of 3.2-million.

In San Juan, the heaviest traffic congestion is found on the freeways and highways. Many of these freeways and highways begin in other parts of the country and lead directly to San Juan. Since many people work in San Juan, even if they live somewhere else in the country, the freeways and highways are almost always busy.

San Juan’s most congested freeway is the PR-18. The PR-18 sees an average of 286,800 drivers, every single day. It isn’t a particularly long freeway – less than four-miles – but it connects San Juan and Rio Piedras – a municipality of San Juan – and makes it easier for drivers to move from one part of San Juan to another.

The PR-52 is another very busy freeway that is often congested. Beginning in Ponce, which is located in the southern part of Puerto Rico, and ending in San Juan, which is in the northern part of Puerto Rico, the PR-52 connects one end of the country with the other and serves as one of Puerto Rico’s most traveled freeways. As such, it is also one of the heaviest traffic congestion points in Puerto Rico.

There are other freeways and highways that serve as heavy traffic congestion points. But, the PR-18 and PR-52 are some of Puerto Rico’s most congested roads, due to the amount of traffic that they see on a daily basis.

To deal with traffic congestion, it’s important to leave early, especially if you know it will take some time for you to get to where you need to be. Along with that, it’s important to remember that if you’re going towards San Juan, no matter what freeway you’re taking, rush hour is from 6 AM to 9 AM. But, if you’re leaving San Juan, rush hour is from 4 PM to 7 PM.

Leaving early, to avoid rush hour, will make your commute a lot easier
Rush hour is 6 AM to 9 PM if you’re going towards San Juan
If you’re going away from San Juan, rush hour is 4 PM to 7 PM

Why Traffic Congestion Is Great For Billboards:

Traffic congestion may not be pleasant to deal with, but when it comes to billboard advertising, traffic congestion is exceptionally valuable. Where there’s traffic, there are drivers, and where there are drivers, there are people who will see your billboard and engage with what you are offering.

In Puerto Rico, the worst traffic spots – along the PR-18, for example – are the best billboard advertising locations. With so many people driving through, every single day, your billboard will be seen. And, due to the traffic congestion in those areas, drivers are forced to stop and wait, and this means they’ll see your billboard and know what it is that you are offering.

Getting people to see and engage with your billboard is often one of the biggest challenges of billboard advertising. Placing your billboard in a traffic congestion spot eliminates that challenge, as it ensures your billboard is seen by a variety of drivers and engaged with.

Billboard Media Group has provided some of the best Puerto Rico outdoor advertising services. We continue to give our customers end products that help to captive and promote business, products, and services. Outdoor media still remains a proven method to get in front of potential customers and for good reason!

Puerto Rico is a densely populated island, containing just over 3.5 million people across roughly 100 lengthwise miles of island. Driving point-to-point on Puerto Rico is a shorter distance than a drive from San Diego to LA, and yet, there are over 1,000 people per square mile on Puerto Rico. That’s a huge amount of people for the space – and considering that there are over 3 million registered vehicles on the island, you can figure that traffic is going to result (source: Puerto Rican Traffic Commission).

In the study referenced above, a stunning 1/4th of viewers immediately traveled to the store in question after seeing their billboard advertisement. Other methods of advertising are lucky to draw a 10% ad-to-lead rate, and yet the most specific, most immediately result of viewing these billboard ads still draws a 25% rate of engagement. It’s a favorable way to advertise no matter what way you slice it!

Even with the task of driving at hand, the mind of a motorist has a lot of downtime. Drivers take this time to think about their day – what supplies they need from the store, what they’re going to do after work. Allowing your potential customers to see your billboard advertisement while they’re in this state of mind is ideal. And in a place like Puerto Rico, which is densely packed with businesses and people alike, the exposure you get with a billboard advertisement is nearly limitless.

Placing advertisements on billboards also serves as something of an automatic demographic control. After all, the majority of potential customers seeing your advertisement are likely commuting to their job, and they are affluent enough to invest in a vehicle for personal transportation. That means that your outdoor media is almost exclusively going to reach people who fall within your economic demographic – unlike traditional advertising in media.

Measuring Billboard Effectiveness

Posted on January 21, 2020 by admin

Depending on whom you ask, billboards conjure different images. Let’s agree for the purpose of this article that, when we talk about billboards, we are referring to those large outdoor structures we normally see along the interstate.

Of course, this definition is a little simplistic. Billboards come in all shapes and sizes. They are not just along well-traveled roadsides. We see them in city downtown areas. You will find billboards anywhere billboard manufacturers expect them to earn money for the advertiser and hence the creator.

The term billboard comes from the “billing board”. This term refers to the outdoor advertising space of gigantic proportions. Billboards are huge because their aim is to catch the eye of passing walkers, cyclists, and vehicle drivers. They are intended to be read in their entirety in the time it takes a pedestrian, biker, or driver to pass by the sign.

Measuring Billboard Effectiveness

According to writer, Apryl Duncan, Americans are deluged with visual stimulation. She estimates that, on average, Americans are bombarded with between four thousand and ten thousand ads every day.

To be effective, billboards need to stand out from their competitors. While billboards have a captive audience as people walk, run, bike, or drive by, they must be large, striking, and easy to read. Otherwise, their potential audience will simply ignore them. Measuring billboard effectiveness is important to every outdoor media campaign. Billboard companies should provide statistics and specific data as it applies to:

Location

Outdoor media is unique in that it is one of few advertising mediums that is not as dynamic. Where internet ads can change frequently and within a short time span, billboard generally change less often, but are sometimes more effective. How is this? Measuring billboard effectiveness always begins with evaluating location of potential billboard placement. This is usually done by considering factors such as:

Number of people or vehicles that pass a billboard per day
Number of people or vehicles that could see your billboard per day
People or vehicles who actually saw/interacted with your billboard

Measuring Traffic for Billboard Effectiveness

It’s crucial to know the traffic surrounding the location of a billboard in order to better measure traffic for billboard effectiveness. For one, you should try to find an ideal location that gets a lot of traffic, although these areas can usually be priced much higher than other lower trafficked areas. Measuring traffic is usually done through a variety of methods including government data, census, road traffic counts, and even manually logging travel data day-to-day. These numbers will help you determine if a location is an ideal placement for your business, brand, or service.

Analytics

If there’s a brand name, slogan, or catchphrase — that is used unique to your business — you could use analytics data scraping methods to analyze how often those terms, phrases, or words are typed into search engines. Similar to how businesses would execute keyword research, the same method could be applied in measuring billboard effectiveness. The more search hits a phrase gets could provide insight into how often people are viewing and taking action with an outdoor ad.

Hashtags

Hashtags are more widely used these days and provide ample opportunity to getting potential customers on board with a message displayed on outdoor media. Utilizing hashtags can help companies better evaluate the effectiveness of the billboard advertisement.

Sales Analytics

There’s usually a direct correlation between sales and outdoor ads. It’s important you notate benchmarks in reports for sales, or general profits and determine if a new billboard ad is bringing in more customers or not.

Billboard Audience Impact

Billboards aren’t technically outstanding. Some have moving parts. Most appeal only to your vision. However, billboards have a captive audience. Think of those hours you spend in your car, bus, GO train. or other commuter vehicles.

The daily commute is literally the longest idle time in the busy schedule of North Americans. No matter how you get to and from work, while you make that trek, you are a captive audience. Companies aiming at getting their brand known and advertising agencies intend upon helping clients achieve their goals recognize the power of billboards as a vehicle. They take good advantage of the opportunity to bombard foot and vehicle traffic with powerful visual images strategically located.

Billboard advertising is effective in our busy world. It’s a way to get the highest number of views and lasting brand impressions of any advertising medium.

Billboard Advertising Goals

Billboards aren’t like other types of ads. Researchers have discovered that the average viewing time is four seconds.

So, billboards are aimed at building brand recognition or reinforcing a brand recall. Billboards aren’t there to inform, educate, or persuade. Basically, they are saying, “See me!” or “Remember me!”

How is Billboard Effectiveness Measured?

When it comes to measuring billboard effectiveness, there are several considerations.

First, let’s consider the return on your investment. How much does the billboard cost? How much revenue does it bring in? When we consider ROI, billboards have a proven record of being worth the time and investment.

Billboards are part of the landscape. They are practically everywhere you go whether you’re traveling on foot, on a bike, in a car, on a bus, or in a train. It’s little wonder that advertisers continue to pump money into this form of advertising.

Static advertising forms like magazines, flyers, direct mailing, email ads, and newspapers can be discarded with hardly a glance. But, billboards are in your face.

Thanks to modern technology, any professional outdoor advertising agency can provide its clients with hard data to show that their billboards are paying off. They can measure the foot and vehicular traffic at any time of the day, day of the week or month of the year.

Professional outdoor advertising companies can predict the demographic most likely to view and respond to your billboard. The effectiveness of billboards is measured in Daily Effective Circulations or DEC. This refers to the number of vehicles and pedestrians passing your billboard each day.

What Makes a Billboard Ad Stand Out?

Despite their size, billboards need to stand out from the visuals that surround them. That’s a tall order. Outdoor advertising companies use creative designs, eye-catching materials, catchy slogans, and special effects to make their billboards memorable.

How do they do this? To answer that question, let’s look at billboards that have stood out in advertising history. Remember, the ultimate goal of billboards is brand recognition and brand recall.

Consider these billboards that made their product a household name.

Coca Cola should get top marks for some of the world’s most effective billboards. “It’s the Real Thing”. Recently they have used the Coke white swoop on the traditional red background to encouraging recycling containers. Not a word is needed!
IBM has taken its city billboards to a whole new level. They have added a curve to their billboard to create a rain shelter and a ramped bench seating area. Their creation blends modern design and function.
“Kleenex” did such a good job of brand recognition that its name is synonymous with every other tissue brand. But, like Coke and IBM, Kleenex is not content to bask in its name recognition. The company’s latest billboards appeal to emotion. Their ads afford their customers opportunities to show caring.
Famous for its Golden Arches and yellow off-ramp billboards, Macdonald’s has always excelled at sending a message without using a word. Now, this fast-food giant is turning its billboards into homes for bees.
It would be impossible to ignore the “all you can eat and more” billboards erected by the motorist stop Oldtimer restaurant chain. The billboard surrounds a tunnel on the motorway with the tunnel acting as the customer’s mouth.

What to Expect from Billboard Advertising

Posted on October 25, 2019 by admin

In 1867, the first billboard was leased. This billboard was used to hold a large advertisement. Since then, billboards have become one of the most popular forms of advertising. They are unique with visual designs, large size, guaranteed audience, and the ease in which they can be set up on roads and highways.

Billboard advertising industry began in the late 19th century. It started off slowly. But by 1870, there were around three-hundred bill-posting and sign painting companies. Then, in 1891 the Associated Bill Posters’ Association was founded. This expanded the concept of poster advertising, allowing advertisers to see the potential that the medium offered. Today, billboards have risen to one of the most popular forms of advertising. Below we’re discussing what to expect from billboard advertising.

What Is Billboard Advertising?

When the 20th century began, billboards were a popular form of advertising, but nowhere near as popular as they soon became. With the rise of the automobile, billboards rose to one of the dominant forms of advertising.

Roads and highways were built to accommodate the automobiles that everyone was buying. Billboards were advertising a variety of different products and services on these roads and highways. Everyone saw these billboards as they drove.

Today, billboard advertising is one of the most popular advertising mediums. A billboard is a giant poster that is visible to hundreds of people. Unlike other forms of advertising, billboards always have a sizeable audience. By making the right choices, you might be able to reach the right people at any given time.

The billboard advertising industry began in the second half of the 19th century
In the 20th century, billboard advertising became a dominant form of advertising, due to the automobile
Billboard advertising is one of the most popular forms of advertising in today’s world
Every billboard is guaranteed to have an audience

What Do You Do Before Purchasing Your Billboard?

Billboards can be costly upfront. You should know what to expect from billboard advertising. For one, you should consider a consultation with a billboard advertising agency. During your consultation, you should finetune the needs of the billboard. You should also investigate your target audience, the proper location, and what your billboard advertisement conveys and expresses.

Purchasing a billboard is a process, and it begins by being aware of your audience, and the exact message that you would like to convey. If those two elements of the process are uncertain, then your billboard will be hard-pressed to succeed.

When you understand those two elements, you can set up a consultation with a billboard advertising agency. Throughout your consultation, you will be able to finetune the individual components of your billboard. These are components include:

specific audiences that you would like to reach
the message you are expressing
placement of your billboard
what the billboard says and what it looks like.

Once all of that information has been organized, you’ll be able to look at billboards that the consultant feels are right for your business. Make sure to visit each billboard in person, so that you can see what it really looks like, and whether or not people can actually see it as they drive by.

Make sure you understand the message you need to convey and your target audience
Setup a consultation and fine-tune the individual components of the billboard, including the design, placement, and specific audience you need to reach
Visit the billboards your consultant has suggested for you and find one that looks and feels right to you

What Happens Once You Purchase Your Billboard?

When you purchase your billboard, the next step is for you to work with your consultant on designing the billboard advertisement. All of the preparatory work you did earlier is incredibly valuable in this stage of the process.

Earlier, before and during your meeting with the consultant, you finetuned the different aspects of your billboard. Aspects that include your target audience, the message you want the billboard to convey, and the overall design of the billboard.

When you work with your consultant on designing your billboard, all of that information will be put to good use. For the words, you’ll need to keep it short and sweet – six-words or less is ideal – while making sure that you’re saying something that speaks to your target audience, and conveys your intended message.

Words are only a small portion of a billboard, though. Billboards are visual mediums, and you’ll be spending a lot of time working with your consultant on the visual design of your billboard. Every visual element must align with what your audience needs, what you are selling, and the message that you intend to convey.

For example, if you are advertising a motorbike that goes very fast, then you should integrate visual motifs that are related to speed and momentum. That way, the words are a supplement to the visuals, rather than the other way around.

When you purchase your billboard, it’s time for you to design it
Make sure your design is in alignment with your audience, what they want, and the message you want to convey
Focus on making the words a supplement to the visuals; billboard advertising is a visual medium

What Makes A Billboard Effective?

When a billboard is in the right spot, has the right visual design and the right words, and successfully introduces people to your product, that billboard is effective. If a billboard is in the wrong spot, has a clunky visual design and a strange choice of words, that billboard is unable to properly introduce potential customers to what you are selling.

In order for your billboard to be effective, it must be in the right spot, have the right visual design, and the right words. Those elements lead to a billboard that conveys what it is that you are selling, in a manner that ensures that the right people see what you are offering.

If you are advertising designer clothing, you probably wouldn’t want your billboard to be located on a road somewhere deep in rural Puerto Rico. Instead, you would want to place that billboard in a place where people with lots of disposable income will see it.

Examples of Effective Advertising

When advertising that designer clothing, you need your billboard to convey the status and prestige that comes with wearing your clothing. Instead of using a visual design that appears clunky and lacking in polish, use a visual design that comes across as sophisticated and classy.

To make your billboard extra special, you need to use the right words. For designer clothing, you wouldn’t use words such as “affordable” or “inexpensive”, you would use words such as “elegant” and “luxury”.

No matter what you are advertising, make sure that all three of those elements come together. What you should expect from billboard advertising:

Your billboard must be in the right spot, have the right visual design, and the right words
Make sure that your billboard is somewhere people can see it, and where the people who will buy your product are likely to see it
Ensure that the visual design is in alignment with what you are advertising
Make sure that you use as few words as possible, and that every word has an impact

Amazing Billboard Ads

Posted on September 30, 2019 by admin

We are constantly bombarded by messages enticing us to buy something. Look at a website and the next thing that pops up is an array of ads for that item from competing companies. Open your e-mail and there are full-color, animated sales flyers whether you asked for them or not. Ads come in many forms including posters, window displays, newspaper and magazine ads, t-shirts, web, and social media, but the most effective type is still in the form of amazing billboard ads.

Advertising is big business. This year it topped $100 billion dollars in the USA alone. Outdoor or billboard advertising accounted for 7% of that.

Some billboard ads appeal to certain potential clients. Others garner more attention from a different niche market. But what, exactly, makes an outdoor effective? The most amazing billboard ads follow certain designs and creative elements, and we’re giving you some intriguing information on them below.

Why are Outdoor Ads so Effective?

Billboard ads have been proven to be highly effective. Who can resist reading a big, bold billboard or a colorful ad the full length of a city bus? It’s difficult to miss an ad that covers an entire wall.

Outdoor ads are limited only by the imagination of advertisers. Have you noticed ads in cab windows, on bus shelters, affixed to park benches? You will find them on kiosks in shopping malls, plus trains, in airports, and even front lawns. Most commonly, however, outdoor ads occupy space nearest to roads in the form of billboards and with good reason. Every day, people commute t0 work, home, stores and more, and within that drive time, they either knowingly or unknowingly pass by a captivating billboard.

We spend more time away from home than we do inside so it follows that outdoor signs catch our eye and lure us to buy. Still, what makes amazing billboard ads effective?

Outdoor Signs Have High Impact

Where magazine or newspaper ads have to capture a viewer to the medium, outdoor advertising requires no such invitation. It’s right there. It’s in your face. It’s part of your environment. You can’t close it like the newspaper, shut it off like the TV, or shut it down by clicking your mouse.

You have no control over whether you view it. The longer and the more often you see it, the greater the impact.

Outdoor Ads Grab Your Attention

Outdoor ads stand alone. They aren’t competing with other ads the way TV, internet, and newspaper ads do.

Outdoor ads are often visible from afar. They stay in your visual range for several minutes. Outdoor advertisers strive for color, movement, and creativity that make them attention-grabbing and memorable even long after you’ve seen them.

Outdoor Advertising is Surprisingly Cost-Effective

Studies on return on investment (ROI) for outdoor billboard ads found that outdoor advertising is very cost-effective when compared with other types of advertising. The reason, again, is that they’re hard to ignore and they even subconsciously entice buying decisions.

Outdoor Advertising Reaches A Wide Audience

If you’re trying to reach a wide niche market, outdoor advertising is an excellent marketing platform for your brand, company, organization, or enterprise. Outdoor advertising has a broad audience. Being outdoors, businesses have the eyes of thousands of potential consumers. Many of them are hard to reach in other advertising media forms.

Where Do People Shop?

The short answer is: Not where they used to shop. Surveys discovered that over seventy percent of things purchased are not bought in retail centers and shopping malls. When it comes to advertising, location is crucial. Outdoor advertising is the most effective medium when it comes to making an impact on shoppers before they purchase.

Consumers Like Outdoor Ads

Ads on TV are hated! DVR companies make a fortune on providing the viewing public with a means of ignoring ads. On the other hand, outdoor ads are actually popular with consumers. An Australian study proved that locals and tourists preferred buses with ads than those without them. Over a third of American drivers said they welcomed the distraction of billboard ads.

Outdoor Ads Combine with Other Advertising

Outdoor advertising need not stand alone. It has been shown to combine well with other types of advertising. The result is a heightened impact on both types of ads.

Outdoor Ads Offer a Fresh Message

Thanks to modern technology, outdoor advertising gives brands and enterprises a novel, creative, attention-grabbing approach. It’s a way to reach potential consumers in an open, fresh appealing way.

Why are Billboards one of the Best Types of Outdoor Ads?

On average, people spend more than twenty hours a week in their cars. Here are some interesting statistics on commuters by state. For billboards, these drivers and their passengers are a captive audience.

Amazing billboard ads are big, bright, visually appealing, easy-to-read as you pass without undue driver distraction. Moreover, studies have shown that these messages leave a lasting visual impression.

Best Copy for Outdoor Ads

When it comes to compelling copy for an amazing billboard, you have to remember that you are competing with the driver’s smartphone, GPS, radio, and morning coffee. So, your message needs to be big, bold and easy to read in passing. It also needs to be clever but not cutesy.

A good rule of thumb in copy is six words or less. Six seconds is the usual time spent passing a billboard. Also, consider the words and their length.

You want to get noticed but not be a distraction whether you are a traditional roadside billboard or a mobile billboard on a bus or truck side.

You’re not trying to get a response. You want to entice a potential consumer, provide information, and get your brand out there. Billboards promote products and support brand campaigns.

Best Visuals

Good visuals are big, bright, bold. They elicit a feeling from the viewer and provide a lasting memory of what they have seen for only a few seconds. Thanks to computer-aided design and vinyl sign software packages these visuals can be created effectively for both stationary and mobile billboards.

Outdoor Ads Faux-Pas

Not all billboards are effective. Here are some things to avoid when designing a billboard:

Ineffective Use of Color

Thanks to computer-aided design the sky’s the limit when it comes to color. Your ad must be attractive to grab the viewer’s attention and provide a lasting visual.

Hard-to-Read Fonts

Choose fonts carefully. Stylized fonts, curly print, thin letters are a bad choice on billboards. Aim for easy and fast reading format.

Too Much Text

As cosmetics maven, MaryKay, said of women’s makeup, “Less is more!” Avoid large chunks of text. Six words is a good rule of thumb.

Poor Placement

As with real estate, in the world of billboards placement is a major decision. Not selecting the right location can be the demise of your add no matter how effective the design.

Amateur Design

Hire a professional. Many companies hoping to save a dollar try to use a software package to create their own billboards. The results are often poor if not disastrous. The money spent on professional billboards more than pays for itself in return on investment.

Advertising in Puerto Rico through billboard advertising is often overlooked as outdated in the digital age, but this belief couldn’t be less correct. This is especially true when you’re looking at a market such as Puerto Rico because it’s a densely populated island, and many people spend a lot of time in cars. Without much else to stimulate their mind while sitting strapped into their seats, striking advertising signs will really catch their eyes. Also, you don’t have to go through the great expense of finding advertisement signs for sales. We offer competitively priced solutions for you to simply rent space on the signs that we maintain.

This will help you plan your advertising campaigns in a way that they primarily target the groups you’re hoping to reach.

[av_toggle title=’Goals of Outdoor Media’ tags=”]
There are many different results that can come from a successful billboard campaign, so the amount of strategies that can be followed is pretty much unlimited. However, two of the biggest reasons for creating outdoor advertising billboards are to boost your image and increase your sales numbers.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Still Useful in a Digital World’ tags=”]
The advances of computers and technology have offered many other opportunities for advertising in Puerto Rico, and this is probably the main reason that people so often think that billboard outdoor advertising no longer works. They get used to using all the detailed tracking data provided by online sources, and they forget that physical objects can also be analyzed. But, outdoor billboards are still extremely useful, and there is still a lot of data that can be examined to determine their usefulness.

Additionally, outdoor billboards have some specific advantages over purely electronic forms of advertising. For example, when they’re driving down the road, consumers don’t have a million other flashing icons to catch their eyes like on computer screen. Also, they are basically a captive audience who has no choice but to see your message. Plus, outdoor billboard advertising doesn’t have to compete with technology because it can be used in line with other digital resources. For example, you can use your outdoor billboards to advertise your website address, and then consumers can visit that to start working with your digital strategy.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Outdoor Media is Associated with Location’ tags=”]
Unlike with many other forms of advertising, you can control where someone will be when they see your outdoor billboard. Using this physical advantage can be beneficial in many different ways. For example, knowing where the viewer will be allows you to put an advertisement that is relevant to their current situation, and the message can be customized to fit the feelings of the customer at that point in time. This will help them recall the message later because they will associate the feelings they received from the outdoor media billboard with what they were doing at the time. For example, if they were on the way to the beach when they saw an ad for a product to protect their skin from the sun, then they will be more likely to think of that brand when they’re shopping for something similar. Additionally, this whole strategy make consumers feel that the brand is thinking about them and is actually a part of their life. It’s a great step on the pathway to brand loyalty.

Funny Advertising Fails

Posted on March 27, 2019 by admin

Advertising is all about creating associations. People who see a clear message alongside your brand will connect the two in their mind even if they don’t consciously realize it. But this effect is a double-edged sword; if someone attaches their brand to a poorly made advertisement, it can really hurt their image. Of course, if an advertisement is so bad that it’s funny when people share it online. So these advertisements are either fails or successes depending on whether or not you believe that all publicity is good publicity.

Yahoo 404 Error?

For any website, serving a user up a 404 error is an embarrassment. For one of the world’s largest search engines, producing a 404 should probably never happen, so the unfortunate number placement in this baseball stadium next to the Yahoo banner makes for funny advertising fail. Location always matters!

What Does That Say?

If you’re having trouble reading this on a screen that’s standing still imagine trying to read it while you drive past at more than sixty miles per hour. This sign seems like a real traffic hazard. Even if you can read it the slogan “see your teeth as we do” doesn’t feel worth the effort required.

Hunters and Hygienists

So I’m confused, are they holding my dental hygienist hostage? Listen, it’s great if you have hobbies and sometimes you can even work your favorite pastime into your ad campaign. But your job and your hobby need to align in some way for it to work. All this sign makes me think of is my teeth mounted on the wall beside some antlers.

Quality Control is Crucial

Even great designs can blow up in your face if the idea isn’t executed correctly. This ad must have looked great on the screen it was designed on but because the people putting the sign up didn’t put care into their work the whole impact was ruined. It just goes to show how important everyone, from the ad executive down to the person who actually has to physically put the ad up.

Diabetes, Straight Ahead

This sign placement is either incredibly unfortunate or ingenious. If the diabetes sign was there first, then McDonalds made a huge mistake. But if the McDonalds sign was the original sign then the people at the Ad Council found a great way to spread their message and make people question their unhealthy eating habits.

Join the Fun!

Because of the way the picture was cropped we can’t tell what the full sign says. What we can say for sure is that this sign seems to be encouraging people to die, and that’s always going to be a bad advertising move.

Celebrating Remarkable Women

Mixing social issues and personal promotion always requires a tricky balancing act and the people behind this sign handled the challenge with the grace of a boozed-up bull in a china shop. Honoring women is a worthy goal, but when that’s your goal you probably don’t want to make it look like your company doesn’t have any female leadership.

Love Your Curves

On the topic of mixed messages, here we have another case of good intentions and poor execution. If you want to sell your product to women who identify as curvy, then you should probably hire some models who aren’t so skinny. This advertisement manages to feel pandering, tone deaf, and insulting all at once. In that way, it’s actually quite an accomplishment!

This is Bland Flavor

Always triple check your font choice. Look at it yourself, show it to a friend, then show it to a stranger. If the designer behind this ad followed those steps, someone might have pointed out that the cursive I and S come together to look like a B, turning “island” into “bland.” It doesn’t help that the food in the picture ranges from black to brown to white. A little bit of garnish might wouldn’t have hurt.

Technical Error

Just as technology has opened up new avenues for success, it has also created plenty of new chances for failure. In the old days, a billboard ad would never need to be rebooted. Then again, this might be a good advertisement if it was put up by one of Intel’s competitors as a way to paint their products as faulty.

1-800-CALL

Last time I checked 1-800 numbers needs a few more numbers than this. What are the last three numbers? I know that CALL translates into 2255 but what three numbers do you get out of four generic looking lawyer types? Who thought this sign was complete? So many questions, so few answers.

How Does Facebook Spend its Advertising Budget? Billboards.

Posted on February 26, 2019 by admin

Have you ever seen a billboard ad for Facebook and stopped to wonder why one of the top online advertising powers in the world invests its marketing dollars into outdoor advertising?

Maybe not, but oh the irony. We personally think it’s pretty powerful that Facebook – an online marketing tool that stresses using its advertising tools to promote business – spends it’s own marketing dollars on a traditional form of marketing in billboards.

Live What You Love Campaign

One of the more noticeable Facebook billboard campaigns took place early last year across India. The campaign, entitled “Live What You Love” pushed groups, pages and events to Indian users in an effort to encourage them to join groups to find like-minded people.

The ads aired on prime time tv, and across prominent billboards in Mumbai, New Delhi, and several other cities.

Spam Is Not Your Friends Campaign

Perhaps the better-known example of Facebook using TV, print ads and large billboards is the most recent campaign that began in March of last year around America. The sparse billboards and bus stop signs proclaimed “Spam is not your friends”, “false news is not your friends” and “clickbait is not your friends” along with a promise to change the way things appear in the newsfeed.

This campaign was in response to bombshell revelations about how Russian bots used Facebook to disseminate false information, spam, and clickbait to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Facebook then went on to launch a summer campaign in the European Union to advise users of their rights under the General Data Protection Regulation Act.

Traditional Advertising is Still Key

Facebook’s efforts to reach its users not only on its own platform, but through traditional advertising methods like TV commercials, print ads and outdoor advertising on billboards, bus stops, subway signs and more underscore that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

In fact, outdoor advertising and billboards are the only advertising industry that is seeing more forecasted growth. In 2018, outdoor marketing was expected to grow 2% to account for an $8 billion market.

On the other hand, other traditional advertising saw a decline last year:

National TV Advertising: -1.5%
Local TV Advertising: -3.5%
Newspaper Advertising: -19%
Magazines -15%
Radio: -4%

The fact that outdoor advertising is the only section of the market seeing profitability amongst a mix of other traditional advertising methods shows us that outdoor media, billboards and signage are still one of the most effective ways to reach consumers when not on a digital platform.

Digital is the Difference

However, there is a marked difference between the success of traditional billboards and of digital billboards. Digital options are proven to be more cost-effective, and the bright, eye-catching effects that allow for multiple ads to appear on a single billboard makes the display more profitable for agencies and billboard owners.

Industries are taking notice of this, too.

Across a span of 10 years (2013 forecasted to 2023) spending on traditional billboards remains flat at $6 billion total. However, digital billboard advertising climbs year over year. From $646 million spend in 2013, the market is expected to hit $2 billion in 2023.

Billboards of the Future

In the world of digital advertising and smartphones, some of the biggest streaming and service providers spend a huge amount of their marketing budget on strategic outdoor displays. In fact, even the iPhone has poured marketing funds and innovation into billboard strategy, with its iPhone X selfie campaign. Netflix also invests in billboards everywhere.

The Outdoor Advertising Association of America estimates that for every dollar spent on an outdoor advertising ad, it delivers $5.97 in return on investment. With new developments in location data and tracking, this is only forecasted to grow.

That’s because billboards are being fitted with tech and sensors to recognize when a person is nearby, or even analyze their smartphone data to specifically target passerby with curated content. Technology integration is revealing new advertising avenues every day, including computers analyzing data and statistics to decide when and where to place digital ads for the best impact.

In addition, new surfaces for advertising are being explored, including stationary car and taxi windows, as well as interactive and targeted directories, bus stop signs, retail windows and more. The outdoor advertising industry shows no signs of slowing, and the future of the digital billboard is bright!

Grammar Mistakes in Advertising

Posted on August 22, 2018 by admin

It’s true, grammar mistakes can happen anytime. Unfortunately, that includes when creating billboards and advertisements, too! Here are our favorite examples of marketing messages with mistakes that made it past the editors. Next time you’re thinking of skipping the proofreading process, remember these hilarious examples of grammar mistakes in advertising. It might pay to take a look at your work just one more time!

A Tasty What?

Oops. We love an ice-cold Miller as much as the next person, but we can’t get behind this confusing billboard. We’re just curious how this simple phrase made it through the editing process all the way to a billboard without anyone noticing the misspelling of contradiction.

Don’t Write Copy In a New York Minute

This Reebok ad on the subway is a great reminder of why it pays to take your time. The copywriter missed an E in “everything”. It certainly highlights everything that’s wrong with rushing! This isn’t the worst typo we’ve ever seen, but it’s embarrassing for the company. Not to mention the cost of replacing these ads when they catch wind of the mistake!

Servers Are Unsung Heroes

One of the biggest problems with roadside business billboards like this is the lack of space… and spacing. It’s clear that this Days Inn board meant to commemorate Veterans. However, without a space in between the two lines, it seems like they’re commemorating hot breakfast servers. Hey, hot breakfast is pretty important, so maybe they have a point.

Stay In School, Kids

Perhaps even more embarrassing than a big company letting a typo slip through in their signage is a college! Cincinnati State College put up this billboard not realizing that an extra N had snuck into “technician.” Being a place of higher education, we’re sure they didn’t hear the end of it for quite a while.

I Don’t Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

While not a billboard, this car decal certainly gave us pause. We’re not sure who would print such an error-filled message or if the driver came up with it themselves. The incorrect form of but is in use here. Plus, the sentence should read “you’re abusing that privilege.” The irony speaks for itself.

No, This Is Not the Krusty Krab

Another case of no punctuation gave drivers a laugh on this roadside billboard. The signage of a popular food chain probably meant that Spongebob toys were finally at the location, and they were hiring managers. Unfortunately, these two different messages got combined. While amusing, this tends to look poorly on the business and would probably make quality manager candidates think twice. Plus, is Spongebob even qualified to hire managers?

Punctuation Saves Lives

This cautionary sign is designed to warn hunters that pedestrians use nearby trails. However, without the necessary grammar and punctuation, it seems to reference hunting the pedestrians themselves! While the sign may give you a good giggle, consider what a costly and dangerous mistake this could turn out to be. Please note that it is illegal to hunt pedestrians.

What’s In a Name?

This is a fairly harmless grammatical error compared to some of the others on this list. The problem with this sign is that we’re pretty sure this is a sports bar, not a bar belonging to Sport. There’s no need for the apostrophe. We wonder if anyone came in asking to talk to Sport recently?

I’m Suddenly Not Hungry…

This is the worst example of careless spelling and advertising mistakes we’ve seen. By leaving off the letter G, this hamburger special turned into a hamburger horror! This image from a popular American fast-food chain went viral, although we’re sure they fixed it pretty quickly. That’s just another reminder that proofreading your work is incredibly important. In the age of viral images and video, a mistake like this could bring you an awful lot of publicity you would rather avoid.
