Drawbacks Of Using Mobile Billboard Advertising

By Jerry West


It would be completely oblivious if one failed to notice branded trucks today that have advertising billboards spread on them. This form of advertising can be referred to as mobile billboard advertising and has been adopted in almost all countries today. The term mobile is only right when describing this form of promotion as it is attached on moving trucks and can also be easily altered.

When it comes to the advantages that these advertising methods have, many find themselves drawn to it and for good reasons. First, it is a very cost-effective, it is one that reaches a very wide and diverse population of people thanks to its mobility and the also it is very hard for one to ignore a mobile advertising. But it also has its own setbacks.

As simple as this method may sound, it is always advised to approach it with careful planning and clarity in each and every decision that will be involved in the process. A basic tactic would be to use complex strategies while still targeting a diverse demography the main aim is to stir up somewhat of a controversy enough to get social media attention but not offensive inviting bitter critics.

This is not a form of promotion that you can turn off or click a button to turn away from, in short, if it is there it is there and one will finally find they are looking at it. Unlike online adverts that one can scroll over or block, it is close to impossible to ignore a truck standing right in front of you, especially one with a well-crafted outward appearance for the sole purpose of turning heads.

The unpredictability of nature affects this advertising tool the most, during certain seasons it can be limiting to reach certain areas hence this holds back progress that was already growing. Best way to overcome this is to get busy and try and get as much as possible coverage of the areas you wish to sell your brand and create a positive ground where word of mouth information can be passed on.

In business a commonly used phrase goes bigger or go home, however in billboard publicity, going bigger might actually send you home since using larger trucks becomes hard to miss and one gets viewed as a distraction other than a contribution.in this type of publicity, less is actually more and one should go for billboard bicycles and smaller trucks in an effort to attract lesser attention.

With this promotion strategy, you are more likely to capture more attention of both the middle and upper-class audience and it is therefore advised to cater to the interests of both groups. Do not have offers that will be based on one particular group leaving out the other.

One should conduct a detailed research when engaging in this advertising platform in order to know how to best use it to their advantage. Try and reach an audience as big as possible, avoid collision with the authorities and know your strongholds.
