Pros Of LED Billboard Advertising

By Kathleen Cox


Coming up with a good product, brand or service is not important like creating awareness about it. Apart from social media or online promotion, businesses are turning to outdoor adverts like the use of digital displays. These were still in use decades ago but they have been advanced nowadays to lower costs and make them more effective. Here are some of the benefits of using LED billboard advertising.

One advantage of digital display ads over the traditional one is affordability. For print ads, one has to pay artists to create the content of the ad manually. The cost of this is very high. In addition, one must travel to where the display is to mount the printed copy on the display. Cost of transport is introduced. One incurs labor costs too for mounting the print on the display. In LED billboards, however, everything is done electronically hence cutting costs.

The next reason is that there is not waiting. After creating of your ad is completed and you are sure the message is clear, all one must do is send it digitally to the billboard ad company for uploading. It will not take days to prepare before putting it up on the screen like in the traditional one. Within a few hours, the promotion you send will be displayed on your screen. If you were competing with another firm to sell the same product, yours will reach the market first.

Again, a prime location is the benefit of these screens. Often, you will find them in central business districts, busy streets, or buildings that are used as landmarks. Such places are always busy will people of all kinds passing by. Among the passersby is the target demographic. These people can learn about the products or brand being promoted by looking at the screen. Thousands of people can see the ad hence creating awareness over a large population.

Again, LED screens are flexible. The information is sent electronically which makes it easy to change the advert after a certain period of time. It is possible to send two promotions and use time slots to display them both. Similarly, it is easier to customize the message by adding or removing some content without having to pull down the whole billboard.

Again, it often is easy to make the advertisement short but have it stay on the screen for a long time. The time for exposure is two weeks but you can change that by reducing the length of the ad but choose specific days for which you get a space on the billboard. It helps improve the efficiency in the promotion budget.

The other benefit is that one can promote products only at specific times of the day. This enhances effectiveness because you choose a strategic time when you are assured of getting the attention of your customers. A bar should buy a promotion space on a billboard when employees are from work headed home instead of doing it in the morning when they are going to work.

In conclusion, digital displays offer great creativity due to the features contained on the screen. If you are opening a new joint, you can do a countdown five days to the launch. Those with fast food places that open until late can start promoting some of their product from 10 pm when it starts getting late. It will be inexpensive and an effective time to do the promotion.
