2022 Out-Of-Home Marketing Goals

Sparkles in the dark celebrating the new year.

It’s that time of year again—when we reflect on the current year and set our advertising goals for 2022. 

Outdoor advertising has grown 11% annually over the last five years. Here at AllOver Media, we’re sharing what we consider to be the top 7 new out-of-home (OOH) marketing trends you need to know about to efficiently grow your campaigns and connect with more customers in the New Year. 

As you plan out your OOH advertising in 2022, use these trends to help you reach your marketing goals.

Data Targeting is Still Key

Gone are the days when companies would cast a wide net, cross their fingers, and hope to reach their target audiences. Due to an increase in data analysis, it’s easy to dive deeper into “who” specifically responds most to your out-of-home advertisements. 

More analysis—both retrospective and predictive—means you can focus on customers who are most likely to engage with your brand. This type of efficiency is great news for both your budgets and marketers, as you begin a targeted strategy to attract your ideal audience!  

  • Put it into Practice: Try digital OOH advertising. OOH advertising increased by 38% in the second quarter of 2021, and digital OOH is leading the way. Do you feel you’ve pushed your social media and digital advertising as far as they can go? Consider putting energy into this modern version of traditional media. 

But Plan for Versatility

It’s no secret that 2020 and 2021 transformed the way people market. While companies primarily were dealing with the unanticipated challenges of a pandemic, it also provided opportunities for companies to innovate, as they shifted to customer retention, virtual events, and eCommerce.

Upcoming changes will be no less disruptive, with a wave of increased data privacy restrictions from both internet companies and governments. In response, analytics will need to be adjusted and new metrics put into place.

  • Put it into Practice: Embrace the opportunity for creativity. As written in this Forbes Business Council article, “The only constant in marketing is change….Successful marketers are not the ones who complain the loudest; they are usually the ones who can adapt the quickest.”

Don’t Forget About Digital Billboards Trucks

Now is the time to invest in LED billboard trucks to engage with more customers. Use video, animated art, or static imagery to convey your message! On the road, these trucks capture the attention of your audience. Furthermore, because these trucks can be positioned in high-trafficked areas, this OOH strategy offers an advantage over more traditional models. 

  • Put it into Practice: Put content in context. With DOOH advertising and geo-fencing, you can directly target your content to exactly where the buyer is, both physically and within the buying journey. OOH agencies like AllOver Media offer advertising on digital billboard trucks to increase your digital footprint in the real world.

It’s All About Branding 

In 2021, branding was everything, and that’s not stopping anytime soon. Keeping your branding consistent across multiple channels and ad platforms will create a fun, cohesive experience for customers. 

As Liz Papagni at Business2Community notes, “In-store, online, in-app, and even out-of-home advertising should all work together seamlessly to identify your buyer, determine where they are in the buyer’s journey, and help them complete a purchase without skipping a beat between the various channels they use.”

  • Put it into Practice: Try a multi-channel OOH campaign. Consumers across the board crave a unique experience when shopping. By using a thoughtful and layered OOH marketing approach, you can give them what they’re looking for. This is why AllOver Media offers multi-channel options, including DOOH advertising, geo-fencing, and static OOH advertising solutions, to complement your digital and in-home efforts.

Utilize Storytelling 

As in 2021, experts are anticipating an increase of storytelling in OOH advertisements. Compelling and authentic storylines stick in a consumer’s mind and help them retain information about your products, goods, or services. You can utilize several stories with similar themes or a singular slogan. Or tell part of a story at a time to generate interest as people wait for the next piece.

  • Put it into Practice: If you’re struggling with developing a story, follow a tried-and-true formula. Traditionally, ad storylines utilize a central, relatable character with a problem or wish and pair that with the featured brand saving the day. Just be sure to generate creative ideas, as a consumer can spot a manufactured story easily and won’t engage as deeply with something they feel is forced or inauthentic.

Remember to ‘Do Good’

And speaking of authenticity, today’s consumers are more conscientious about whether their money is going to a business that supports their values. Companies are now expected to be transparent about everything from working conditions to politics, and what you say versus what you do will be heavily scrutinized by savvy consumers. 

  • Put it into Practice: Implement—and promote—ethics-based practices. Not all consumers have the same values. It’s important to focus on your target audience and ensure your message will resonate with them. Ultimately, what you find here can be the foundation for your storytelling and messaging throughout all your marketing channels.

Bringing Neighborhood Marketing to the ‘Burbs

An arial view of a suburban neighborhood. Neighborhood marketing is an effective way to boost brand awareness.

Digital outdoor advertising continues to find creative, impactful ways to grab folks’ attention while they’re out on the go. One rising marketing strategy? The use of dedicated marketing focused in suburban neighborhoods.

According to a 2017 American Housing Survey organized by the Department of Housing & Urban Development and the Census Bureau, 52% of Americans identify as suburban. If you’re looking to drum up more interest in your business, the ‘burbs are where to market. And lucky for you, AllOver Media can help!

Dedicated Marketing with AllOver Media

Neighborhood marketing allows you to specifically speak directly to the dedicated market you’re trying to reach. Creating a strategic marketing campaign within the potential customer’s community also offers the following added advantages:

  • Highly Visual: AllOver Media’s LED billboard trucks can play video, animated art, or static images to capture attention in versatile ways. Not to mention mobile billboard trucks offer an affordable and flexible option compared to traditional billboards. 
  • Conversation-Starting: Indoor advertising, such as bar media, reaches your dedicated audience rather than waiting for them to come to you. Plus, a local bar is the perfect place for a community to come across your messaging and discuss it.

  • Increased ROI: Connecting digital content from OOH advertising directly to a consumer’s smartphone speeds up the time between viewability and purchase of the product or service being advertised, increasing your ROI.

What Type of Marketing Statistically Resonates With Suburban Audiences?

The suburban demographic straddles and connects urban and rural enclaves, so suburban shopping habits will likely vary. Some may prefer small businesses over big box stores or chains. Some may be interested in venturing into the city for shopping excursions and events, while others may not. Suburban marketing will best resonate with your dedicated audiences if it:

  • Acts Local: According to a Yodle report, most consumers favor big businesses for pricing and stability only. They look to small businesses for quality, personalization, and trustworthiness. Using your neighborhood marketing approach, think like a local when strategizing where and how to promote your messaging:
  • Parks or other outdoor recreational sites also provide a great stage for mobile advertising during a more leisurely part of their day. 

  • Outdoor Areas like parades, festivals, and fairs provide an excellent opportunity to reach more people as they’re coming together as a community. (Bonus points if you can get them talking about your ad!) 

  • Highly-Trafficked Bars are an effective way to directly reach the community. 

  • Reviews & Testimonials from trusted community members give your business a recognized stamp of approval that can boost confidence in your messaging. 
  • Engages on Social Media: Increasing awareness of your brand with keywords in hashtags, bios, and posts, as well as engaging directly with followers via comments and customer service will boost your business. You can also use geofencing technology to send alerts, coupons, and discounts to consumers’ phones once they’re in close proximity.

Should You Use Geofencing Advertising?

Person using an iPhone

Thanks to smartphones, we now have information at our fingertips at all times. But this can also make things a little more complicated when it comes to local advertising.

With so much media going digital these days, how does a business best advertise to their target audience? How do you catch a consumer’s attention when pop-up ads and email blasts can so easily be ignored, silenced, or deleted? The answer is geofencing advertising, the digital marketing technique that’s making it easier than ever to reach your target audience and beat out the competition.

What is Geofencing? 

Geofencing is intuitive tech that uses GPS, RFID, or IP technology to set up a virtual boundary around a geographical location.

How Does Geofencing Marketing Work?

Geo fencing advertising involves using an app or software that triggers a pre-programmed action when a mobile device or RFID tag enters or exits the location. This could be anything from a text message or targeted ad on social media, to security monitoring or tracking of data. For example, you might use geo fencing ad opportunities to send a promotional offer to a customer as soon as they enter your store.

Businesses ranging from retail to hospitality have all started using geofencing to engage with consumers. 

When it comes to geofence ads in retail, a geofence marketing campaign can target users with alerts, promotions, or coupon offers, based on their proximity to a specific location or event. Some retailers even use it against competitors, urging customers to consider their business instead.

So, Should I Use Geofencing in my OOH marketing campaigns?

From our team, it’s a resounding YES! We’re seeing more and more industries beginning to rely more heavily on a “phygital strategy” to reach target audiences.

The name is just as it implies—ads and marketing material that exist both physically and digitally, and that offer personalized, interactive experiences for consumers. Geofencing is a particularly advantageous phygital strategy for out-of-home (OOH) marketing. That’s because it grabs a consumer’s attention in a relevant way, based on the consumer’s real-time location and behavior.

The Advantages of Geofencing for Digital OOH Marketing 

  • Alerts & Promotions: A popular way for retailers to deliver in-store promotions as customers enter the store, geofencing also helps businesses target ads to a specific audience, based on users’ location-data. 
  • Social Media Interaction: Location-based promoted filters, stickers, and other share-able content on social media networks all use the virtual boundaries of geofencing. 
  • Audience Engagement: By knowing more about your audience, you can provide them with specific, compelling advertising. For example, concert, festival, or fair organizers might use geofencing to engage with the audience via crowdsourcing social media posts or delivering information about the event or venue. 
  • Improved Inventory Management: When you have better insight on the movement of your product, you can better manage your inventory. For example, geofencing can track the movement of a product within the store so you have a better idea of its popularity.
  • An Edge Against the Competition: With mobile geofencing advertising comes a competitive advantage. Geofencing provides a more personalized and convenient shopping experience for customers, which can bolster a stronger relationship between them and your business. 

Here’s the bottom line: when a consumer is presented with an ad they find relevant and useful, it’s more likely that they’ll engage with it. And effective audience engagement means improved brand awareness, a higher ROI, and ultimately a lift in sales.

Build Geofencing With AllOver Media

At the end of the day, it’s about delivering the right message at the right time to the right person. And building a geo fencing ads network can be your ticket to meeting your customers in the middle.

At AllOver Media, we strive to reach people in ways that add to their daily experience, instead of interrupting it. We work to build compelling campaigns that are impossible to ignore, including mobile advertising.If you’re looking to build or improve your own marketing strategy or have any general questions about geofencing technology, our expert team is here to listen and help.

Recruit New Talent with OOH Advertising

Hands reaching in together to show unity

Looking to expand your team with talented individuals who share your company’s passion? You might be tempted to rely on job posting sites or social media to advertise new job openings. But finding qualified candidates can be difficult and time consuming—especially since online job postings don’t leave much room for creativity. 

In fact, cookie cutter online listings often yield cookie cutter applicants.

Try These 3 Creative Job Posting Ideas

If you want creative ways to engage and recruit a broader pool of skilled employees, AllOver Media has a solution for you! Using our out-of-home (OOH) advertising options, you’ll quickly discover that running your next recruitment campaign is both easy and effective. 

Here are three OOH advertising ideas you may want to consider:

Mobile Billboards

Advertising on the side of trucks is an effective way to reach your target audience. In fact, Marketing Dive states that mobile billboards yield 4.5 times the amount of results as online postings. 

Putting your now hiring ads on a large scale moving truck can widen your talent pool tremendously, as well. Think of it this way: as employees slowly migrate from home to the office, the amount of commuters is steadily increasing. Mobile billboards will be on route with these same individuals, who may not be actively looking for a job (i.e., searing online job postings), but interested in exploring new career opportunities.

For example, if you’re looking for pizza delivery drivers for your restaurant, advertising on mobile billboards puts your messaging in front of individuals already on the road. If you list your rates and hours, you may even steal a few employees from other food delivery services who were unknowingly making much less than you offer.

Pizza Box Ads 

Speaking of pizza, pizza flyers are another great way to get the word out about your job posting. No matter what your industry is, you can access a large amount of people through a pizza flyer. 

According to Fortune, pizza delivery increased between 28% and 55% last year, depending on the restaurant. This means that putting your job posting on a pizza box is reaching 28-55% more people than it previously would have. 

Creating a simple, eye-catching ad to arrive with a pizza delivery box is a subtle, yet powerful move. As the family gathers to eat, or the pizza box sits on the table, your ad will remain in view. 

Door Hangers 

Standard mail advertisements can get lost in the shuffle. Door hangers give you the unique opportunity to put your information right at the fingertips of your audience. As they reach for their doorknob, they’ll run right into your door hanger ad

Using creative and unique designs to your advantage, you can also advertise the perks and benefits of joining your team. Grabbing customer attention with the appealing parts of the job make them all the more likely to apply.

Planning Your Out-of-Home Marketing Strategies for 2022

Calendar that reads January 2022

According to marketing predictions, 2022 is slated to be a huge year for out-of-home advertising. And at AllOver Media, we continue to see more companies investing in and planning out OOH advertising. As people are getting comfortable being out and about, there are evolving opportunities to reach people where they are. 

If you’re looking to make the new year your biggest marketing year yet, guess what? It’s already time to start planning! 

Why Are We Planning Out Of Home Advertising For 2022 Now?

Whether you feel ready or not, 2022 is fast approaching. In the marketing and advertising worlds, planning ahead by a few months is completely normal. This is a great way to make sure you have time to plan and execute.

However, as we all know 2021 has not been a normal year. A limited supply of paper has caused hiccups in many print campaigns. Printers are overloaded and often in short supply. 

This has lengthened turnaround times for advertising across the board. Whereas campaigns could previously be developed in two or three weeks, we find it best to plan months ahead. This especially applies if you want prime OOH advertising real estate!

Planning ahead isn’t a bad thing, though. Taking time and care to create your campaign gives you an advantage over the competition. You truly have the space to be creative and revolutionary with next year’s marketing endeavors. 

Types Of Out Of Home Advertising

Out of home advertising is a wide arena that can reach so many people when they’re ready to hear your messaging. And there are many different ways you can execute it, depending on your unique needs and goals. Some of the most effective types include:

Using multiple types of out of home advertising makes your campaign even more impactful. Plus, it catches individuals when they are in the headspace to buy your product or service. The right message + the right time + the right audience = success!

Dive Into Resort Advertising This Season

As the days grow shorter and the weather begins to cool, it is time to start thinking about your company’s winter advertising. The efficacy of marketing tactics often changes with the seasons, and it’s important to keep up!

Last winter saw 59 million skier visits in the United States. This winter that number is predicted to be just as high as people look to get out of the house! That’s right — it’s time to take your out-of-home advertising to the slopes. 

Skiing advertisements are a fantastic option for the colder months, allowing you to reach people enjoying their winter getaways! 

Why Advertise at a Ski Resort?

While highway billboards and gas station ads attract cabin-goers and vacationers in the summer, ski resorts offer similar benefits in the winter. 

With chairlift campaigns, your ad appears right next to the trail map on the ski lift’s comfort bar. This gives your ad a captive audience as skiers ride to the top of the slopes. On average, the chairlift ride lasts for 8 minutes, giving your ad viewing time well above the standard. (Plus, not many people dare to scroll on their phone while going up a ski lift!) 

By tailoring an advertisement to this audience, you grab their attention and make a lasting impression for your brand. When you create a personalized, ski-related advertisement, there is a more significant chance that riders will remember your company and become patrons.

Developing Resort Advertising Ideas

It can be tricky to create a tailored, impactful ad specifically for a ski resort. Many products and services might seem unrelated to this location, making it feel impossible to draw a connection that will make an impression.

If this resonates with you, never fear! Here at AllOver Media, we specialize in ski resort advertising and can help your company create compelling and effective resort advertising ideas. In fact, our services are exclusive, and provide our customers with top spots at the best ski resorts in the country. 

Our Resort Ads Can:

  • Tie your product or service into the resort aesthetic and lifestyle.
  • Help your product stand out using color psychology, specialized typefaces, and appealing graphics.
  • Place your ad in a location where it’s most likely to be effective.
  • Provide vital information to ski lift riders in a way that sticks with them long after they’ve dismounted!

With over 11,000 chairs at 25 different ski resorts, you are giving your brand an excellent chance of being seen (and remembered) in out-of-home methods during those colder months.

Hit the Slopes With AllOver Media

Believe it or not, now is the time to begin your winter advertising campaigns. The longer we have to develop a tactic, the stronger your ad will be.

3 Benefits of Renting Marketing Space

Gas pump advertisement that reads "Fuel Your Legend".

Owning and operating a building or venue is a lot of work. A significant amount of time and effort goes into maintaining the property and keeping it looking good for your customers.

It’s no secret that the past year and a half has been difficult for businesses of all kinds. Many places have had to get creative with the way they operate, and many are facing tight budgets and cutbacks.

Whether you are looking to boost your revenue, spruce up your space, or simply create a great business to business connection, venue marketing is an incredible option. 

In case you need some extra convincing, we’ve assembled our top three reasons to rent out your space for marketing. 

1. Increased Revenue

Right now, there are several unadorned places within your building that people access every single day. Selling venue advertising in these spaces allows you to bring in an income without doing anything at all. Other companies will pay to put their ads in your spaces — all you have to do is sit back and take the money. 

This type of advertising doesn’t take away from your business either. We never use competing companies or brands to advertise in your space, so you don’t have to worry about losing business to the other guys. We steer clear of your industry, and focus on non-related products and services that your demographic may enjoy. 

2. Better Looking Spaces

Our advertising options add sleek, creative decor to your space. We have several options for venue advertising, and we can make sure you love the style and design of the ads coming into your space.

Plus, you always have control over what gets advertised in your building. You can refuse any of our ideas and campaigns with absolutely no hard feelings. It is your building, after all, you should like what goes in it.

3. We Do All The Work

When you engage in this type of venue advertising, you really are just selling your space. Beyond that, you do not have to worry about a thing. We handle the installation, takedown, swap out, and whatever else may need to be done. This means that you get added revenue and attractive, nonintrusive decor without having to lift a finger (except maybe to cash the check).

5 GAS STATION PUMP ADVERTISING IDEAS

Person looking at a gas pump ad.

Gas station advertising is one of the best ways to show off your brand. Gas stations are highly trafficked areas, attracting nearly every demographic of customers. And thanks to captive audience times at the pump, there are countless reasons why these cost effective marketing spots are ideal.

When it comes to reaching folks, gas pump ads via gas station video advertising are especially effective. As customers wait for their car to fill up, they act as a captive audience for your advertising. This means the perfect amount of dwell time for your ad!

These ads don’t often take up a lot of space. They are also positioned on gas pump advertising displays and gas station advertising signs that are ideally placed. These ads sit right at eye level at the pump. This means that they are hard to miss, and can easily sway a viewer to make a purchase!

When creating gas pump advertising for your brand, it is important to create a campaign that makes an impression. Gas stations have lots of ads — it’s important to make yours unique. Read on for gas station promotion ideas.

Gas Station Advertising Ideas: How to Make Your Gas Pump Ad Stand Out

1. Get To The Point

As mentioned, gas station advertising screens are often not very big, so it’s important to make your words count.

Keep it simple. Choose a very focused and specific message and stick to it. Your target audience will thank you for an ad that doesn’t overburden them with needless info. Plus, an efficient ad is a cost effective one.

2. Choose Colors Carefully

Look, there is often a lot going on at gas stations. Mini billboards, convenience store guests coming and going, and nearby traffic are sure to serve as audience distractions.

Try to pick colors for your advertisements that stand out from the average atmosphere. For example, lots of gas stations use red, white, and blue in their logos or ads. If you know that you are advertising at one such location, avoid those colors.

3.  Make The Situation Fun

Though lots of people put fuel in their cars every day, few people look forward to it. All in all, it is a fairly mundane situation, so generate novel gas station advertising ideas and make your ad fun!

Try to make the viewer laugh. Give them something to think about. Or tempt them with great photos of your product (food, especially). You want to evoke a positive emotion that can intrigue and even entertain the viewer.

4. Offer A Reward

Customers love an opportunity to take advantage of an immediate benefit. By offering the opportunity to earn a reward or activate a sale, you can drive up the likelihood of a purchase. Consider creating a unique sale or promotion especially for your gas pump advertising. This allows you to track how many people are inspired to act  based on this particular campaign! 

5. Be Clever

A great way to stand out in the gas pump advertising displays game is to make your ad clever. You can refer to timely social media trends or memes. Or even break the fourth wall. Call attention to the fact that you know your audience is currently watching their gas pump topper’s digital display.

Saying something witty helps viewers remember your brand long after they’ve pulled out of the station. Even though they have left your gas station advertising screens behind them, your innovative content will stay top of mind.

Defining the Target Audience for Your Next Campaign Pt. 2

Crowd of people

Defining your target audience is one of the most important parts of marketing. In Part 1 of this series, we offered up a few tips and tricks to help you hone in on your key client base. However, our fountain of knowledge didn’t end there. We’re back with more suggestions about identifying your target audience when creating a new marketing campaign.

Be Specific About Your Current Target Audience

You may have heeded our advice to look at your current client base, but now is the time to get more specific than ever. Break your key audience demographics into subgenres, so that you can better utilize a micro marketing approach for your next campaign! 

For example, if you know women are your key demographic, learn about what your female customers like outside of your product. This includes psychographics, which encompass the mental state and general outlook of your audience. This specificity will give you an idea of who you are currently serving and who is missing from your client pool. 

Use Brand Analysis 

Take a good, hard look at what your brand conveys to your customers. You’ve likely spent years creating a cohesive appearance and feel to your company. Let’s be sure that the right messaging is making it across. 

Not sure where to start? Ask your employees and current customers to analyze how things are going. In what ways are you potentially missing key audiences with your current branding or strategy? Often those closest to you can offer key insights. 

Survey Your Methods

Double check your work by putting out surveys to get a general idea of how you’re being perceived. If you see low enthusiasm or engagement from a particular group, you’ll know who to target during your next campaign. 

There is no one rule for how to find your target audience, but discovering who is unimpressed with your current advertising can be a good indication of where you are falling short, and the group of people you can focus on going forward. 

In General, Be Specific

We know, we know — this feels like a contradictory statement. But whenever you feel stuck with a marketing campaign, it’s best to get more specific with your message, your idea, and your audience. Generalizations are often boring to viewers. You have the opportunity to make lasting connections when you’re more specific with your marketing. 

Jumpstart Your Marketing With AllOver Media

Now that you have more tips on how to find your target audience, what are you waiting for? Our team at AllOver Media is ready to hit the ground running with you.  From gas pump convenience store ads to large-scale messaging on walls & murals, we do it all. We’re here to help you reach your next customer with messaging that really captures your brand identity.

Beat the Heat with Ice Box Advertising

Ice box advertising is a great way to encourage impulse shopping!

Summer is ramping up which can only mean one thing: it’s time to party. As people head to cabins and backyards for heartfelt reunions over barbecues and beer, many of them will be stopping along the way to pick up extra ice.

When it comes to ooh advertising trends, few locations receive more consistent, reliable traffic than an ice box, making them prime locations for advertising. These bright ads wrap around the surface of gas station ice boxes, so even if your customers don’t purchase ice on their stop, they’ll see your ad from their car or the pump. There is simply no better place to suggest a little bit of impulse shopping. 

Catch Customers On The Move

Ice box advertising can help your messaging stand out on a hot summer's day!

Even though we often don’t notice ice when it’s there, we absolutely notice when it’s gone. It is a necessity when it comes to summer fun, and gas station ice boxes see constant traffic when the weather is warm. Though you may not be able to predict where your customers will roam this summer, you can be sure that they’ll need ice. Using gas station advertising such as ice box ads is a great way to catch customers on the move.

Make Your Ice Box Advertising Stand Out

Even though ice box advertising gets great traffic, it is still important to make sure that your ad stands out. Some ways to do so include:

  • Use short, catchy phrasing that will get stuck in customers’ heads. If you can create a slogan that rhymes, all the better!

  • Pick bold, unique colors that aren’t normally seen in a gas station. Avoid the normal gas station palettes that include red, blue, navy, etc.

  • Show off your product. Some products, especially food-related ones, are great advertisements for themselves. Plastering a high-res picture of your famous fries on the side of an ice box will make it very difficult for customers to avoid stopping by.

  • Use the 3D nature of the ice box to your advantage. Remember that your customers will be able to see all sides of the ice box, so get creative with your design! Turning the ice box into a giant version of your product, for example, is something that audiences will likely remember. 

Brainstorm Summer Advertising Ideas With AllOver Media

If you’re ready to make your ice box advertising dreams a reality, AllOver Media has your back. We can help you maximize your marketing projects, to make sure you follow your customers wherever they go this summer. Want to get started? Check out our ice box advertising page and contact us today!
