It
is advertising that can't be turned off
and is essentially projected at eye level.
Offering massive reach and scope, bus shelters
are amongst the most widely used outdoor
mediums
. Following bus routes along major
city thoroughfares and penetrating residential
neighbourhoods, they can deliver mass
exposures
or they can be targeted to reach a specific
audience. Bus Shelters are the important
public utility in any city that have always
been used by the
advertisers
to their benefit.
Bus shelters are great for targeting
pedestrians and passing motorists because
they are placed on heavily traveled streets
with lots of potential readers. Covering
the entire city comprehensively with a
stop at every few kilometres, they reach
consumers where they live, work, shop,
eat and play, that is, just about everywhere!
This provides advertisers to cover their
target audience
like no other medium by
using a bus shelter.
They are a great on-the-street extension
of print campaigns
. However since they
are placed parallel to the road the message
should be crisp and to the point and preferably
visually communicated.
