Howards logo for their truck advertising campaign

Summary

If you’re a retailer, how do you get the word out about a new store opening to the people who are most likely to go? Like Howards, you turn to Movia for a custom-fit solution. Howards is well known in Southern California as the place to go for appliances, TVs and mattresses. To announce their new location in Hollywood, they just needed to announce it to the people who live there. Over 5 weeks, three trucks with routes in the community brought the news to Hollywood locals, generating 7.5 million impressions. And, thanks to Movia’s retargeting technology, an additional 560 thousand impressions were delivered to this core audience. Movia drivers also became brand ambassadors, handing out pamphlets about the new location. This tailor-made solution of highly targeted outdoor, digital retargeting, and personal connections made Howards’ store launch another success story for Hollywood!
