Tricks For Successful Truck Advertising

By Rebecca Stevens


The efforts to introduce and solidify the presence of a product in the market are constantly advancing. New and creative avenues through which this can be done are getting discovered. Every company is just trying to gain an edge. The marketplace is cut throat. Truck advertising is one such avenue. Someone looked at a juggernaut and thought what an excellent product awareness tool that would be. That person was not wrong because it is, key performance indicators have provided proof of that. Numbers are never wrong.

One need not own a truck to use this form. There are companies that let one hire their delivery vehicles and others that hire out vehicles for this specific purpose. There are three ways in which this mode of advertising can work. The first is the use of vinyl sheets. This is spread on the sides with the ad printed on. It is simple and best used on hired delivery vehicles as it can be easily removed and changed. The other is actually painting on the body. It is best to do this if one owns the vehicle. The third form of a rolling billboard uses an LED screen. The ad is loaded onto the screen through a USB port.

The point of a billboard on wheels is to get it moving. To reach the target market wherever they may be. To try and penetrate new areas. For this reason, due care should be taken while mapping out the route for the lorry to take. One must think carefully about the sole purpose of the campaign. Only then can they know their target market and then work towards finding the target areas. Having the lorry suffer through traffic with the rest of the populace could be incorporated into the plan.

An eye-catching ad that is interesting to look at is what you need. It must also convey a message at the same time. This being a transit ad makes it harder to convey a message as the timeline is shrunk. The ad will have a few seconds to ingrain itself into the mind of the beholder. The design needs to be as simple as can be. There must be as little wording as possible. Who has time to read an essay while driving anyway?

The images used must be relevant to the message otherwise there will be a fatal miscommunication. The font chosen must also be simple but carry some level of elegance. The colors choices must be done very carefully. If it an already established company, they will have a color that is associated with them. People will not guess from which company that product is from.

The service company used must be professional. They must have experience in the business. Enough expertise to give great suggestions and experience in keeping the vision of the client for their product.

The budget for the campaign must be adhered to. A company does not go into business merely to pay for advertising. One must ensure the options chosen do not cost more than is stipulated. Free quotes must be obtained before committing to a particular company.

If the driver of said juggernaut cuts off other motorists and is rude, the product will get the wrong kind of attention. They will equate the product to rudeness and careless driving. This would be detrimental to the future of the product. One must therefore keep an eye on reviews for the company engaged.
