Mobile billboards are an exciting and effective method of advertising one’s business. Because they are constantly on the move, there’s no limit to their exposure. Absolutely anybody can see them, and they can end up anywhere. This means that they are suitable for myriad businesses, unlike static billboards. Another advantage to mobile billboards is that they captivate the attention of people who are passing on foot or by car.

 

One concern many people have about mobile billboards is their cost. In this article, we will address this, as well as the different types of mobile billboards:

The Affordability of Mobile Billboards

Lots of people wrongly believe that mobile billboards are expensive. This is untrue. While they aren’t exactly cheap, they aren’t disproportionately expensive either. In fact, compared to other types of advertising, they are very affordable. Not only are they affordable, but they are also extremely effective. This makes them a very worthwhile investment, especially if you are going to drive the vehicle yourself so that you don’t have to pay a driver to do it for you. If you want to invest in the future of your business, then mobile billboards are the way to go.

Stationary or Moving

Another thing to consider when you are thinking about investing in mobile billboard solutions is whether the vehicle will be static or moving. You can hire vehicles to park on the side of highways and main roads. These vehicles function like ordinary billboards, except they are considerably cheaper. They are also extremely effective. With that said, a moving mobile billboard is much better, because it captivates the attention of more people and can travel around. However, you decide to use a mobile billboard, remember that you do have options.

The Efficacy of Mobile Billboards

Mobile billboards are extremely effective. This is because like we have already mentioned, they captivate the attention of passers-by. They also travel long distances, which gives them greater exposure. This allows the right people to learn about one’s business. There are very few businesses that can’t benefit from mobile billboards. When it comes to static billboards, computer companies and specialist niche companies are better off investing in SEO or online marketing. This isn’t the case with mobile billboards. Even computer and niche companies can benefit from them, because of how much exposure they deliver and how far they travel.

You need to carefully design your mobile billboard’s imagery, in order to maximise interest in it.

Truck Window Advertising

There are many different types of mobile billboards. One of the most effective is the use of truck window decals, because they can be applied to your personal vehicle. This gives you the ability to forego hiring an expensive truck or vehicle. Another advantage to applying these stickers to your personal vehicle’s windows is that wherever you go, you get free advertising. This means that on personal errands, you will be bringing exposure to your company. This is definitely the most affordable and potentially the most effective type of mobile billboard.

If you have employees working for you, then you can also apply these stickers to their vehicles, increasing your business’s exposure. You could even ask your family and friends to apply the stickers to their personal vehicles as well. An entire fleet of vehicles driving around with your business’s name and contact information on is a great way to drum up business. Make sure that the sticker is designed professionally, and that it represents your business well. You should make sure that it is clear what your business does, or what service you offer. With these stickers, you only have a few seconds of a person’s attention to explain to them what your business is. It’s probably best to allow a professional graphic design company to create them for you.

Truck Side Advertising

There is also truck side advertising, which is one of the most common types of mobile billboarding. It involves large billboards being placed on both sides of a truck transporting goods, which isn’t always affiliated with the company that’s being advertised. The advertising space on these trucks is usually leased by mobile billboard companies. The advertising on these trucks is usually a large sticker that’s applied to both sides. One of the advantages of truck side advertising is the fact that the billboards can be lit by LED at night. This gives businesses the opportunity to advertise their businesses around the clock.

In addition, truck side advertising allows businesses to park a truck at the side of the road as we mentioned earlier. This can be very effective if the truck is parked in the middle of two busy lanes, allowing for exposure on both sides. This essentially allows the truck to function as a static billboard. Some companies also offer a service where the truck’s sides are glass panels, allowing viewers to see inside. Inside, you can put a large product display. This is a very effective and eye-catching method of advertising your business, particularly if you manufacture large products.

The biggest advantage to truck side advertising is that because the trucks are usually driven by unaffiliated truckers, your business gains more exposure because their routes often take them up and down the country. This advertises your business to a diverse range of customers. Truck side advertising is also very cheap when compared to other types of mobile billboard advertising. And, truck side advertising is attention-grabbing, due to the large size of trucks, and the high quality of the graphics that are usually displayed on the side of them.

Vehicle Wraps

Another effective method of mobile billboarding is the use of vehicle wraps. Vehicle wraps are when a vehicle is covered partially or completely with stickers advertising a business, product, or service. In some cases, vehicle wraps are painted instead of stuck on. Vehicle wraps are most often seen on promotional cars. However, in some cases, people choose to have vehicle wraps applied to their personal vehicles. This can save them a lot of money.

Vehicle wraps that are used on public transport vehicles are also very effective. This allows lots of different commuters to see the billboard. They also grab people’s attention, especially commuters, who will notice when new billboards are put up on the side of public transit vehicles that they take on a daily basis.

Digital Billboards

Digital billboards are a very exciting addition to the world of mobile billboards. They are unquestionably the future of mobile billboarding. They involve the use of the latest technology, with traditional methods of mobile billboarding such as being mounted on a truck or trailer. Digital mobile billboards show ads from multiple businesses. The content is constantly changing. The advertisements themselves are displayed on the television. They are very popular nowadays. You can find them on busy highways, motorways, and parked in busy areas and city centres. Because they show advertisements from multiple companies, they are cheaper. This is because the cost is split. They are also very eye-catching.

Trailer Billboards

Trailer billboards cost about the same as truck-side advertising does. They are billboards that are attached to a vehicle and hauled behind it. On them, one or two advertisements are printed. They are generally lit by LED lights at night. Like truck-side advertisements, they are sometimes parked in busy areas and function as static billboards. One of the advantages of trailer billboards is that they are very easy to mount and dismount, and they can also feature multiple ads on a single billboard. This allows you to advertise more than one product. They are also very large, which makes them better at grabbing the attention of passers-by than some of the other methods we have mentioned in this article so far.

In answer to our titular question, yes, there are affordable mobile billboard solutions. Mobile billboards are the future of advertising and are a great way to bring exposure and interest to your company. If you haven’t experimented with mobile billboarding yet, then it may be time for you to do so. You have a lot of options, so you don’t have to pay for an expensive digital billboard. Instead, you can simply apply a sticker to the back of your car, and watch the business roll in.
