A Close Up Look At Truck Ads

By Margaret Graham


The three most common mediums of advertising are TV, radio and print media. Over the years, these mediums have proven to be effective in reaching target audiences. For long, one advertising strategy has been looked down upon by many in the industry. This strategy is the use of truck ads.

This is a form of mobile advertising that involves the use of trailers and other types of big body automobiles. In a typical setting, a trailer is draped with promotional posters on its exterior and used as an advertising tool. Those who resort to this technique are of the view that trucks have a wider reach than billboards as they are always on the move.

Despite the apparent benefits of the technique, there are skeptics who question its effectiveness. Most of the criticism stems from the conventional media industry, primarily because mobile advertising presents direct competition to their business model. This notwithstanding, the bottom line is that trailer adverts have numerous benefits and are thus capable of achieving the same effectiveness, if not more, than conventional advertising.

Studies have shown that outdoor advertising, in particular the mobile option, is one of the most effective in terms of visibility. It is a guaranteed way of reaching a large audience of commuters on a day to day basis. Studies conducted on commuters have also indicated that on average, commuters consider buying the products or services they see advertised when traveling. The same commuters also spend a great deal of time on the road through traffic jams, which needless to say presents an untapped opportunity to would be advertisers.

Mass media adverts generally tend to be costly. Furthermore, they come at intervals. With a mobile advert, one need not think about how much time his product or service will have on air before being cut off. In every sense of the word, it assures one of complete exposure to his intended market. In short, mobile advertising provides a platform on which companies and service providers can create a lasting imprint in the minds of their customers.

One quote by the dictator Adolf Hitler says that when a lie is repeated many times, it morphs into truth. This does not seek to trivialize the infamy that the dictator is renowned for or allude that advertising is a way of propagating lies, but rather serves as a simple analogy. The honest to God truth is that as one sees something every day, he begins to believe it.

Without a doubt, mobile advertising works despite its sophistication. It may take a while for its results to become apparent, but it does surely work. It is an assured way of leaving a strong impression about a product or service in the market, which is just what any growing or established business needs.

Most trucking companies offer advertising services. Talk to one to find out the different quotes it has to offer. In the end, you want one that guarantees the best service at the right price.
