Billboard and outdoor advertising tips

When reaching consumers outside their home or office, you need to create a unique experience that captures attention and resonates with passers-by:
  • Know your target audience. Don’t advertise how great you are. Try and think what the consumer wants from you.
  • Know what you want to say. Your message should be short and it better be provocative. Provocative doesn’t necessarily mean naked people. No. It can be thought provocative, or have a provocative design.
  • Know how to say it. Keep it clean and clear and use lively colors.
  • Consider your location. A billboard advertising a Caribbean Cruise wouldn’t be effective in a low income neighborhood. But a sign advertising a new fashion store will work wonders in a shopping district. Any sign can have a great impact, but the location should help establishing the tone.
  • Less is More. Yes, it’s a cliché, but there’s a good reason why it’s a cliché. Don’t go and sell your entire line of products or services in the poster. It will be difficult. It will hurt. You have to keep it as simple as possible.
  • Be unique. Be creative. Be humorous. People love advertisements. Especially when they’re good. They can be fun, entertaining and you should also have a good time when working on billboard advertising.
