Ultimate Guide to Car Advertising What is car advertising? Advertising on cars is a cost-effective and comparatively cheap marketing method. Depending on the size of the town, an ad placed on a car can attract a lot of attention within a potentially large captive audience: people stuck in traffic. If you decide to try car advertising, you’ll find that it’s easy to target specific geo-locations and audiences, therefore reaching more people at a lower cost than billboards, radio, or direct mail. Car advertising proves to be the best decision for a business looking for a cost-effective advertising campaign. Also, by utilizing high-mileage drivers to spread the brand’s message, car advertising allows businesses to reach the communities that are most important to them. Drivers are always members of the community and tend to spend most of their time there. Vehicle advertising allows businesses to select ideal drivers, depending upon the target demographic. Additionally, drivers with an ad on their car become brand ambassadors and influencers while spreading the word around and building your local brand awareness. www.wowtto.com How does it look like? Depending on the effect your business wants to create, car advertising comes in different forms. Options include stickers, car wraps, license plate frames, or a simple bumper sticker. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the most important question is: how much are you willing to spend on your ad campaign? Bumper stickers are, perhaps, the easiest and cheapest way to start spreading the word around. Additionally, it will allow you to give stickers to your clients and friends. However, this kind of advertisement won’t necessarily generate efficient brand awareness. License plate frames can be effective to multiply your advertising reach. Although, they are not easily noticeable and probably would work best if only given to friends and loyal customers, since license plate frames are similar to lapel pins. Car wraps are eye-catching, but they are also very expensive. You’d need to find a designer and a wrapping professional to complete the job, which would inflate the advertising budget even more. Stickers are best described as moving mini-billboards. They are relatively cheap, easy to handle and generate as much brand awareness as a car wrap or a large billboard. With a well-planned sticker campaign, you could significantly increase your business’ local visibility and attract new customers. Furthermore, it’s probably the most cost-effective car advertising method. www.wowtto.com What are the advantages of car advertising? Small-scale out-of-home advertising (e.g. posters and fliers) works well for promoting businesses in specific locations. Billboards are usually most effective when located close to the advertised business, but are quite expensive and are usually used to reach a very large audience. Yet, car advertising offers a highly visible and cost-effective solution. Ads on cars reach a relatively large audience, especially when potential customers are in slow-moving traffic or stuck in rush hour congestion. It’s effective Within a few days of using car advertising, businesses can see an increase in sales, enquiries, and overall brand awareness/ recognition.

Cost-Effective for SMBs www.wowtto.com How does it differ from other forms of out-of-home advertising? Businesses should not only concentrate on compelling customers to see their ad, but also to spread their message within the community. Out-of-home advertising solutions, such as billboards, posters, full car wraps, or stickers, are visible to a quite specific and defined group of prospective customers. Yet stationary out-of-home advertising solutions are dependant on their placing––e.g. an inconveniently placed billboard is of low-value for business––mobile outdoor advertising might be the answer.
