There is a huge shift of advertising dollars going to another place for businesses large and small. I’m not talking about internet advertising.  What I am talking about is doing outdoor media advertising and more specifically truck advertising.

Outdoor media has many forms, but one of the ways that is gaining huge popularity is the use of truckside advertising.

Today a consumer has the choice in their hand of whether or not to see and hear the add. With Tivo and Satelllite radio becoming popular, the consumer can easily turn off all traditional advertising.

That is why there are a lot of businesses that are looking for other ways to advertise. They are begging for more mediums to reach the consumer.

But not only do they want more ways to reach consumers, they want it to be effective.

Mobile billboard advertising has that advantage. It gives the advertiser a great way to have their advertisement shown without getting turned off. With the way the message gets to the consumer it is plain to see why.

You have the businesses advertisement prominently displayed on a truckside or on a mobile billboard. Those are trucks made specifically to be a mobile billboard.

With their message boldly displayed, and appearing to them in traffic. A consumer has no choice but to read it. For an advertiser to create more brand recognition, this might be a way for them to do that.

Then when it is compared to other ways of advertising.  The mobile billboards prices are actually very competitive, if not cheaper for what you get.

Because when you think about it, your advertisment will be noticed by the consumer because of they way it is delivered. More often it is likely at rush hour, or when they get stuck in traffic. So the consumer is left with no other choice but reading the ad. With the advantage of how their message is delivered, it easily gets to the customer.

When you understand how much is being spent on outdoor media, you realize a lot of businesses are taking advantage of its potential.  In 2004 alone, $5.8 billion dollars was spent.

So for a business looking to expand in other ways to get their ad message out to the consumer, using truckside advertising is something they ought to consider. 

Not the stationary billboards on the side of the road people are used to.  But something that will be smack dab in the face of the consumer is definitely going to get the message across.
