Traffic is down across all major US markets, and consumers are spending the majority of their time (safely) in their homes. This means that OOH advertising is rising to meet the new norm through hyper-local targeting. While data shows that commuter traffic along major highways has decreased, traffic in local neighborhoods and some essential businesses have seen dramatic increases.
According to OAAA, brands that continued to market during the 2008 recession faired much better post recession than brands who went silent. With that in mind, brands are seeking ways to reach audiences in a manner that is sensitive to the current climate. Hyper-local advertising is the answer!
BRANDS ARE RELYING ON REACH FOR HYPER-LOCAL ADVERTISING
Essential businesses are using OOH at the local level to spread brand awareness. Although the number of ads being displayed are decreasing, there is power in reach. Being in the right place at the right time is where advertisers should be focusing their intention.
According to a OAAA, OnDevice recently commissioned a consumer sentiment survey that reported 83% of respondents are leaving their homes weekly.
BRANDS USE STREET FURNITURE ADVERTISING AS A RESOURCE FOR CONSUMERS
