New technological developments have allowed businesses to reach their target audience in new and innovative ways. One method of advertising that is becoming a popular choice for many advertisers is Digital Out-of-Home Media. This form of advertising is when advertisers display their advertisements on digital signs such as plasma televisions in public settings.
Businesses can now advertise in places that were previously unavailable. This form of out of home advertising consists of delivering advertising content and messages in targeted locations. This type of advertising medium allows businesses to deliver engaging and relevant ads to their targeted consumers when they are at work and at play. These screens can be placed in a variety of unique settings such as a fitness center, retail store, shopping mall, health club, bus terminal, movie theater, outdoor area such as a park or zoo, etc. For instance, if your target audience is senior citizens, then a company may benefit from placing digital signage in a bingo hall. Or, if an advertiser is targeting women, they may advertise in an area frequented by women such as a women's clothing store. The location depends not only on who is frequenting the area, but if the product is relevant to the location. For instance, you would not advertise car parts at a floral shop.
The Edison Media Research group reports that "reaching mobile consumers in multiple places during their weekly routines resulted in 59% of respondents who saw the ad reporting that they were interested in learning more about the service." Digital out of home media advertising provides businesses with flexibility and the ability to target a specific demographic. Businesses can deliver appropriate advertisements based on where the digital screen is located. Research has shown that ads containing moving images, innovative graphics, engaging audio and text, will catch consumers' attention and they will remember the ad.
Another way digital out of home media is reaching targeted customers is by placing ad screens in stores near the areas where the advertised product is being sold. This is an effective way building on impulse buying. When correctly targeted, the result is an increase in sales. As well, advertisers can keep their targeted customers updated on their products and services by changing their ads.
Businesses will save on marketing costs because they will be targeting a particular consumer and not the mass market. Digital out of home advertising allows a business to directly communicate with the consumer in their own environment resulting in an increased personal connection with the consumer. Advertisers can target almost any demographic or socio-demographic group. A professional and well designed ad campaign using digital out of home media will result in consumers being provided with valuable information and content that matches their needs and lifestyle. By targeting a specific audience, businesses will reach only the consumers who are likely to buy their product. A well crafted, inventive, and well-planned campaign will greatly reduce marketing waste.
Digital Out of Home Media allows advertisers target the location of the consumer through their interests, shopping habits and lifestyle behavior. This form of media advertising appears to be the future of marketing. - 30302
