How To Get The Most Out Of Truck Advertising

By Rebecca Stevens


The efforts to introduce and solidify the presence of a product in the market are constantly advancing. New and creative avenues through which this can be done are getting discovered. Every company is just trying to gain an edge. The marketplace is cut throat. Truck advertising is one such avenue. Someone looked at a juggernaut and thought what an excellent product awareness tool that would be. That person was not wrong because it is, key performance indicators have provided proof of that. Numbers are never wrong.

Own no truck? Worry not, because there are companies that will take care of that problem. Some that will hire pout their delivery vehicles for that purpose and others that will provide the vehicle and ideas. The first ideas could be the use of vinyl sheeting. This is spread across the body of the vehicle much like a billboard. The other idea is to just paint on the body itself. One could also go for a more technologically advanced option. Use of an LED screen allows one to load the ad via USB connection.

The point of a billboard on wheels is to get it moving. To reach the target market wherever they may be. To try and penetrate new areas. For this reason, due care should be taken while mapping out the route for the lorry to take. One must think carefully about the sole purpose of the campaign. Only then can they know their target market and then work towards finding the target areas. Having the lorry suffer through traffic with the rest of the populace could be incorporated into the plan.

As it is with all billboards, they are tasked with the responsibility to catch attention and maintain it for a while. They must communicate the message within a few seconds. The billboard must be designed in such a way that the beholder remembers the message days later. This means a very simple but bold design. Nothing intricate that will take attention away from the images. The writing should be kept minimal. Some very successful ads achieve with images only and no wording. They could also use sound.

The images used must be relevant to the message otherwise there will be a fatal miscommunication. The font chosen must also be simple but carry some level of elegance. The colors choices must be done very carefully. If it an already established company, they will have a color that is associated with them. People will not guess from which company that product is from.

The company chosen for this job must have experienced professional. People who have great ideas that fit right into the vision and direction of your ad. People who do not aggressively push their opinions onto the client. People who will help the client make the best decisions possible nonetheless.

The cost of this must be put into consideration. Companies usually have a budget for this kind of thing otherwise the whole profit margin would go towards product awareness. The service firm chosen must be willing to give a free quote. One should ask about deals and discounts and their eligibility.

If the driver of said juggernaut cuts off other motorists and is rude, the product will get the wrong kind of attention. They will equate the product to rudeness and careless driving. This would be detrimental to the future of the product. One must therefore keep an eye on reviews for the company engaged.
