How Airport Advertising is constantly growing?


If you are not yet aware of the advantages of advertising your brand at the airports, this blog will highlight on how airport advertising is constantly growing that makes it one of the compelling avenues to promote your brand or business. 

Of late, it has been surveyed that number of flyers are constantly increasing. The affordable flight fares of various airlines and the increase economic status of individuals are perhaps two reasons that have popularized airport advertising media as one of the richest avenues of outdoor advertising. Besides, the mushrooming number of brands in the market is also one reason why airports are being populated with various brand ad displays. On the whole, airport advertising practices such as airport signage, billboard airport displays, translite displays etc. are becoming popular mediums of brand communication. 

One of the major advantages of advertising through airport media is the clutter-free brand message that is easily conveyed to customers through a rich media. Conventional outdoor tools are hardly implemented for the Airport advertising displays. It is the very reason why most of the brand campaigns implemented through digital media (such as airport signages) that provides yet another added advantage i.e. a posh look and impression about the brand on target groups’ mind. 

Another advantage of advertising through airport media is that customers carry the brand message even when they board their flights. It is obvious that any airport advertising targets those customers who spend time at the airport waiting to board their flight or waiting to retrieve their luggage. They need something to occupy their attention which is usually known as the ‘dwell time’. An interesting brand message is one of the effective means of occupying their attention simultaneously forming a positive or pleasing impression about the brand on their minds. In any advertising campaign what is important is to convey the brand message effectively and with the desired impact. An airport ad easily communicates the brand message while providing a strong appeal on TG’s mind.

Let us have a look at some techniques of advertising adopted by OOH Advertisers to lure customers’ attention through the various outdoor advertising channels.
Big and bold presentation of the brand message- If we notice around, most of the OOH Ad displays are exhibited in such a manner that they provide a larger than life appeal on customers. Anyone who comes across an OOH Ad display hardly fails to miss the brand ad- firstly because of its attractive visual and secondly because of the crisp and interesting brand message. Outdoor Advertising is an advantageous promotion practice from other ad practices because of its prompt presentation of brand message without confusing customers.
Readily Available brand message- An OOH Ad display is accessible to customers for days, weeks and even for months. The brand message through any OOH media reaches out to customers in a reachable and reliable manner. It can well be summed up that OOH Media is an omnipresent medium of advertising.

Shopping malls generally mean a particular place where all the brands come under a single floor at their respective stores.
