Social advertising
is the ideal
medium
of advertising
that helps contribute to the society as
well as reach your audience. You can advertise
on tree guards and sponsor maintenance of
roadside landscapes. They not only add to
the cleanliness of the roads but are also
well received by all those who see them.
Social advertising has two main formats;
Tree guards and landscaping.
Tree guards are closed circular metal
fences that protect the trees planted
on the road dividers. Advertisers often
use
reflective posters to display their
ads on them. They are an effective medium
of advertising and reach a large number
of audience everyday. They are best used
as directionals leading a consumer to
your store in the vicinity.
Landscapes are the triangular garden
like areas merging two lanes. Advertisers
often sponsor the landscaping and maintenance
of roadside surroundings. This not only
reflects on their social responsibility
towards the city but also adds to the
beautification of the surroundings.
The advertiser is able to reflect his
social and moral attitude towards the
society while advertising on tree guards
and landscaping. The audience is always
more receptive to brands reflecting social
responsibility in their advertising.
The display area on the tree guards and
landscapes is very limited. Hence, it
is best to use only your company
logo
or name instead of long text messages.
These will instantly be recognized by
your consumers and breed
brand recall
.
