Out-of-Home Advertising: Perceptions Versus Reality
Out of Home Media is divided into two segments, traditional and non-traditional media. Traditional OOH media includes the more standard advertising you see from day-to-day like billboard advertising, transit advertising, cinema advertising and mall advertising. Non-traditional outdoor advertising is the out-of-the-box advertising that is often tailored to reach each company’s target market in a unique way. These innovative OOH media techniques can include the use of segway ads, street teams, projection ads, mobile billboard ads, sidewalk decals, sidewalk chalking and yes even restroom stall advertisements. However, like every other industry, out-of-home advertising is subject to regulation. For example, in the United States- Alaska, Hawaii, Maine and Vermont have banned the use of outdoor billboards statewide. Bulletins and posters are zoned out in select cities across the US as well. (Don’t worry, the media department staff here at Matrix Media Services are experts on zoning issues.)
