Drawbacks Of Using Mobile Billboard Advertising

By Jerry West


Most will often say that ignorance is bliss but this may not always be the case when it leads to one missing out on amazing information which can even prove cost-effective and in this case mobile billboard advertising fits the profile. This is an advertising method that involves using trucks that have been pimped with the information of a represented brand as they move from city to city.

The effectiveness of this promotion panel can be disputed upon but it would not be right to deny the larger advantages it has over other forms of advertising, it is estimated that 97% of people are more likely to remember an promotion that they saw on a billboard truck compared to the 58% who will remember that which they saw on televisions, smartphones and online.

A recognized advantage that makes this a preferred choice by many is how cost effective it is and requires less setup capital and that is not the deal binder here, with a low set up capital in comparison to other forms of promotion, it also ensures that your investments were worth it and no single penny put in it went to waste meaning that for a cheaper price efficiency increases and so do the sales.

The main reason for using mobile billboards is so as to catch the eyes of many people as possible and one way to make this close to possible is to spend most of your publicity resources on highly populated areas mostly the high-traffic ones. This is proving effective as whenever people are stuck in traffic and their eyes wander if your truck happens to be in sight when it gets their attention.

While with other forms of billboards that are stationary, with mobile ones you can be able to track exactly where your marketing is reaching of course with the help GPS tracking. One is able to know which audience is viewing their brand and on top of that, you feel a sense of control over your investments even when they are not in the same place as you are.

A big setback is that it can be hard to get feedback from your clients main reason being that of visibility. It can prove to be quite hard to pass information that has been written on a moving bus and on top of it there are two or more things on it. It is there for wise to use less information as much as possible and avoid any form of jargon that may leave the reader confused or unsure.

When dealing with complex products that may need more digging into, this is not the best tool as one can only offer a limited amount of information. At times a client will need to have a product completely decoded which is a right they are entitled to, mobile billboards cannot afford to do this as then most of the information will be missed by the reader.

The bottom line is one should take full advantage of mobile billboards as they have proven effective to a lot of people, it is a method that reaches a wide audience while still capturing your target audience. However, lucks differ and when starting one should take it slow.
