These types of ads are designed to catch the attention of an audience who are always on the go.

Outdoor advertising are sometimes overlooked with other ads because of the misconception that other advertisements are more effective. However, did you know that the average trip of a commuter is about 45 minutes? In North America, many people have also experienced getting stuck in traffic because it’s payday or there’s an upcoming long weekend. Imagine the audience that you can reach with this scenario.

The ads are large and stands out as a unique way of delivering creative outdoor advertising. The popularity of mobile billboards is increase as more and more brands find it effective. The reach is somewhat similar to taxis.

Airport ads: Some examples of these ads are those near baggage carousels and backlit signages around the airport. The people in travellers are those with spending capacity since travelling is a luxury. It also guarantees maximum exposure for your brand since there are always people in airports.

Bus ads: The strengths of bus advertisements, on the other hand, is consistent exposure for your brand. Use this medium especially if your target consumers are commuters, drivers and pedestrians. Since bus ads are more versatile than taxi ads, you can also be more creative with your messaging. They can also be placed at the back or even the sides of the bus.
