Pros

  • High visibility: Placing ads in high-traffic areas means they are seen by a large number of people daily.
  • Local reach: Effective for targeting a specific geographic area, making it ideal for local businesses.
  • Brand presence: Consistent exposure in busy places enhances brand recognition and recall.
  • Diverse audience: Reaches various demographics, from commuters to tourists, offering broad market penetration.
  • Creative potential: Large formats allow for bold, creative designs that can make a strong impact.
  • Non-intrusive: Viewers encounter ads naturally without disrupting their activities, unlike digital pop-ups.
  • Long exposure time: Ads are displayed 24/7, providing consistent visibility over an extended period.

Cons

  • High costs: Billboard and transit advertising can be expensive, limiting accessibility for small businesses.
  • Limited interaction: Unlike digital ads, there is no direct customer interaction or immediate call-to-action.
  • Static content: Once installed, ads cannot be easily changed, limiting flexibility in messaging.
  • Compliance requirements: Requires adherence to local regulations and permit processes, which can be time-consuming.
  • Impact measurement: Difficult to track the exact effectiveness and ROI of the campaigns.

  • Weather dependent: Ad visibility can be affected by weather conditions, such as fog or heavy rain.
