Billboard picture 4

It depends. In order to answer this question, we must first understand how viewers react to outdoor advertising. The Arbitron National In-Car Study, 2009 edition, published these findings:

  • The average individual in the united states (ages 18+) spends about 18 hours on the road each week
  • 71% of these travelers are “billboard viewers,” meaning they look at the messages on billboards often.
  • Almost three-quarters of billboard viewers go shopping on the way home from work
  • More than two-thirds of billboard viewers make shopping decisions while traveling in the car
  • About one-quarter of billboard viewers reported that an outdoor ad motivated them to visit a particular store later THAT DAY.
  • One third of billboard viewers reported that they visited a retailer they saw on a billboard later THAT WEEK.
  • 50% of billboard viewers said they received “directional information” from a billboard

However, the success of your billboard depends on a few factors, including the design and the location. Here are some important things to remember when designing a billboard:

  • Simple designs have more impact
  • Keep the message short—7 words or less—too many words make billboards look cluttered, confuse the viewer, and may even compromise their safety on the road.
  • Your message should only take about 6 or 7 seconds to process

  • Use words that will jump out and catch the viewer’s attention. Leave them wanting to learn more about your message
  • Use big, bold text, but don’t get caught up in using fancy fonts
  • Use billboards in heavily populated areas
  • Use colors that stand out
  • Use a powerful, high-quality image
  • Focus on one message
  • Test your billboard on smaller audiences before releasing it to the public
