A Close Up Look At Truck Ads

By Margaret Graham


For years, advertisers have relied on the mass media to market their products and services to consumers. So far, the numbers have been impressive, with market visibility increasing thanks to this strategy. In the midst of all this success, one growing advertising strategy has never had the chance to shine in the marketing limelight. Few marketers have ever thought of trying 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.

Even then, one question that lingers in the minds of many people is where the technique stands in the advertising industry in terms of effectiveness. There are plenty of skeptics of the model, many of them being media owners who view it as being out to run them out of business. Truth be told, trailer adverts come with a plethora of benefits and can compete at the same level as conventional ads.

Studies indicate that this advertising technique actually performs better than conventional techniques in terms of market visibility. Compared to billboards or newspapers, a moving track with a large poster is easier to spot and can be driven to all sorts of places on any given day. A typical commuter would consider purchasing an advert he sees while on the road, at least according to research. This is pretty big news to the advertising sector, especially considering the fact that commuters spend hours in traffic when shuttling between home and work every day.

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.

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.

Despite its sophisticated nature, mobile adverts work. Nevertheless, the results may take a while to come. It certainly is a guaranteed way to capture the hearts and minds of consumers, something that any businessperson would hope for.

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.
