OOH Advertising is one of the most attention drawing means of brand communication which is launched through an outdoor media such as poster, billboard, signage, kiosk, pillar wrap, painting etc. Be it a poster ad or a billboard ad, any ad campaign which is not confined in a four walled room comes under OOH Advertising. In this regard, the scope of OOH Advertising seems to be really broad and exclusive. Except those mediums which are used for indoor brand advertising, almost every other form of brand promotion comes under outdoor advertising. What makes an outdoor advertising campaign unique and different includes its technique, approach and exclusive tools used for brand promotion.

Various practices of outdoor advertising

Outdoor ad campaigns are practised at airports, shopping malls, metro stations, railway stations, roadsides, highways, street furniture, transit vehicles etc. Amongst all these, airport, shopping mall and metro stations are the top three avenues where OOH ad campaigns are mostly launched.

The discovery ...
... of airport spaces as one of the ideal avenues for brand promotion proved to be quite an innovation of the outdoor advertisers. Airport Ads at present have been considered as one of the most effective avenues of Outdoor Advertising in India.

Advertising at metro stations has been quite in trend these days. Like airport ads, metro ad spaces have also to be bought by advertisers to launch their brand advertising campaigns. The widespread launch of various metro stations in the capital city opens a pool of advertising opportunities to a wide range of brand owners.

How shopping malls became one of the ideal avenues of brand advertising is not that surprising. Mall culture in India has been extensively spreading within these few years. Advertising at shopping malls is yet another opportunity for brand owners to create their foothold in the market place. People come to shopping malls to shop, dine or simply to unwind during their leisure time. In brief, those who come to shopping malls are not stressed people. These people have the buying capacity and can be easily targeted for any brand promotion campaign. Brands which are advertised all around the shopping malls come into quick notice. Sometimes, mall ads also provide direction to stores thereby enhancing the shopping experience of various customers.

Be it an airport ad, metro ad, or a mall ad, any OOH ad offers exclusive brand promotion solution for advertisers. Innovative and interactive, OOH ads are the most dependable means of brand promotion.
