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.

In as much as the advantages of mobile advertising are apparent, there are many who find it hard to buy into the concept. The bulk of the skepticism arises from everyday media outlets, reason being mobile adverts compete directly with them. Nevertheless, the one thing that remains true is the fact that trailer adverts are just as effective, if not better, than everyday advertising.

According to research, mobile advertising is one of the most effective ways to reach target audiences. This is primarily due to the fact that trucks that are driven around with adverts on their exteriors can be seen by varying groups of people in different places on a daily basis. The same research also indicates that the average commuter considers purchasing a product or service the moment he sees it while on the road. It is no secret that every day, commuters spend long hours on the road shuttling to and from work, which is an excellent advertising opportunity.

Conventional adverts are known to be pretty expensive to run. As if this is not enough, they are timed at intervals. With mobile adverts, businesses do not have to worry about getting their adverts turned off. In a sense, it is a means of getting maximum exposure for products or services. Your truck basically has some form of permanent existence in the environment of your target market.

A famous quote that was made by Adolf Hitler goes that when one repeats a lie over and over, it eventually becomes the truth. You might want to only construe this as an analogy as it is neither an exaltation of the infamy of the dictator nor an allusion that advertising is a form of lying. The fact is that as one sees more and more of something, he starts to think about 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.
