It may be an online world, but out-of-home (OOH) continues to shine. <\/p>\n

At a recent ACA webinar<\/a>, Lara Menzies, Head of Marketing at Canadian Out of Home Marketing and Measurement Bureau (COMMB), shared stats on the growth and effectiveness of OOH, as well as best practices for creating highly engaging OOH campaigns. <\/p>\n

Global advertising revenues for OOH have grown 7.5% on average in each of the last nine years (2010-2018), reaching $56 billion in 2018, according to PQ Media. The Canadian OOH industry continues to see 5% growth year over year, reaching $745 million (measured and non-measured) in 2018. The estimated revenue for 2019 is $825 million. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne reason out-of-home revenues continue to grow is because [out-of-home advertising] reaches consumers in their real world, where they are alert and attentive,\u201d said Menzies. \u201cNeurological research shows that when consumers are alert and attentive, they\u2019re actually more likely to engage and respond to advertising.\u201d <\/p>\n

The 2019 Canadian Shopper Survey shows that OOH garners high attention levels, with nearly eight out of 10 shoppers (79%) saying they pay attention to OOH advertising. <\/p>\n

Many consumers take action after seeing an OOH ad, according to Nielsen\u2019s Out-of-Home Advertising Study (2019). For example, 28% watched an advertised movie in the theatre; 23% talked about the ad or product with others; and 19% visited a store of a business advertised. <\/p>\n

So, how do marketers get the most out of their OOH campaigns? Here are a few best practices Menzies shared with the audience:<\/p>\n

Keep it simple<\/h3>\n

Distill your messages to one point. For example, a Tim Hortons ad during last year\u2019s hockey playoffs had a picture of a Boston Cream donut and the text, \u201cCream Boston.\u201d <\/p>\n

Engage with your audience<\/h3>\n

The use of digital and dynamic messaging increases personal relevance, drives a call to action, and boosts brand consideration and purchase. For example, a Game of Thrones<\/em> campaign encouraged fans to share their predictions on Twitter for the final season, and Twitter used the opportunity to launch 20 new emojis. <\/p>\n

Be contextually creative using your environment<\/h3>\n

Consider the location your ad will be viewed in. For example, a BMO ad for a reward miles credit card was placed on stairs in between two subway escalators and featured the text, \u201cStop Climbing. Start Flying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Message style will have an impact on the receptivity of your message<\/h3>\n

Humour, intrigue and aesthetic design are all effective styles when using out of home. For example, a tongue-in-cheek campaign in L.A. for The Grinch<\/em> premiere featured copy such as \u201cOf course you\u2019ll make it as an actor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Use high contrast colours<\/h3>\n

This will help attract eyes to your billboard and improve retention of your message. Colour combinations with high visibility include black on white, blue on yellow, white on red, while those with poor visibility include yellow on red and purple on black.<\/p>\n

In addition to these best practices, Menzies said enhancing OOH campaigns with the latest technology also drives audience interaction and engagement. <\/p>\n
