Overview

Billboard advertising is a traditional OOH advertising format, but there has been significant growth in digital OOH ( digital billboards and place-based networks) in recent years; for example, about 4,900 digital billboard displays have been installed in China and the United States. ^[3]

Traditional roadside billboards remain the predominant form of advertising in the US with 66 percent of total annual revenue. Today, billboard revenue is 73 percent local ads, 18 percent national ads, and 9 percent public service ads. ^[4]

Street furniture is made up of such formats as bus shelters, newsracks, mall kiosks, and telephone booth advertising. This form of OOH is located in urban centers. Additionally, this form of advertising provides benefits to communities.

The term is used for the purpose of advertising, such as advertising, trucks, food trucks, and taxis, but also includes static and electronic advertising. Airport advertising, which helps businesses address an audience while traveling, is also included in this category. Municipalities often accept this form of advertising.

Street furniture, transit, and alternative media formats included 34 percent of total outdoor revenue in the US. Some of these formats have a higher percentage of national ads than traditional billboards. ^[5]

Digital out-of-home

Digital out-of-home (DOOH) refers to dynamic media distributed across-based networks including, but not limited to: cafes, bars, restaurants, health clubs, colleges, arenas, gas stations, convenience stores, barber shops, and public spaces. PQ Media defines DOOH by two major platforms, digital place-based networks (DPN) and digital billboards & signage (DBB); DOOH networks typically feature independently addressable screens, kiosks, jukeboxes and / or jumbotrons . DOOH media benefits rental owners and advertisers alike in advertising and marketing. It is also referred to as digital signage .

In the US, the DOOH industry grew to $ 2.9 billion in 2015, representing 40.8% of the total OOH spending. Gas stations, restaurants, and bars are the preferred locations for ad placement. ^[6] With digital TVs in gas stations, nearly 52 million customers are getting snippets of weather, sports highlights, celebrity gossip and shopping with their gas each month, according to Nielsen . The weekly reach is actually larger than most of the prime-time TV shows. The largest company in the world is Gas Station TV with 27.5 million viewers at more than 1,100 stations across the US, according to Nielsen. ^[7]In addition to the large number of viewers, the audience profile of TVs is unique. All are drivers and 76 percent are adults aged 18-49 with a median age of 40 and median household income over $ 70,000. ^[8] According to the Nielsen Intercept Studies, 89 percent of the consumers are fueled by the fact that they have nothing else to do.

The reason that this category is growing rapidly is that of a busy video recorder (DVRs), it has been diluted with the frequency of which it has been viewed. Every day more TV viewers are skipping past commercials with their DVRs, making out-of-home advertising all the more appealing. ^[9]A Nielsen media research study in 2009 showed that 91 percent of DVR owners skipped commercials. As a result, traditional TV advertisers are hungry for an effective substitute, and digital out-of-home ads appear to be one of the solutions. Digital out of home advertising seems to be a cost-effective way of promoting or marketing any brand or product. Usage of billboards and displays for the promotion of advertising, television, radio, newspapers and other mediums.

DOOH also includes stand-alone screens, kiosks, and interactive media found in public places. The availability of inexpensive LCD screens with built-in media players HAS opened the door for companies to add interactive video messages in point-of-purchase (POP) displays. The displays allow consumers to get more information at the moment of decision on a product or service. Growth in the DOOH industry with increasing POP manufacturers, advertisers, and content developers moving to digital. Technological improvements are holding down costs, and low-cost digital signage is making it easier to reach consumers on a larger scale. ^[10]For example, beacons are small devices placed on the out-of-home advertising structures that use Bluetooth technology to connect with mobile devices. “Beacons allow you to communicate with the viewer.” With these technologies you could say, for example, with certainty that from 3-5 pm on and also what percentage are new people, which are repeat people, etc. ” selon Mark Boidman , managing director at PJSC . ^[11]

In 2015, DOOH started to extend to in-transit advertising. Tablets are installed inside popular ride-sharing vehicles like Uber, Lyft and Grab. Digital ads are displayed inside the screens allowing brands to reach to high value passengers. The players are GoVugo (based in the US), Vieuer (based in Europe) and AdMov (based in SouthEast Asia). This type of DOOH leverages technology to improve distribution and better OOH hearing targeting. GPS of tablets are used to enable location-based marketing. Brands can specify geo-fences to determine where their ads will be shown to passengers. Leveraging mobile internet, advertisers can run digital campaigns over the cloud. “Ride-sharing advertising is a new technology that enables companies to reach high value passengers” according to Bobby Cristuta, CMO of AdMov.^[12]
