Hoarding advertising has become an increasingly popular and effective method for businesses to reach their target audience and create lasting impressions.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the world of advertising hoardings, their benefits, types, sizes, and important considerations for implementing a successful hoarding advertising campaign.

As experts in the field, we at Plas-Shop will provide you with valuable insights and practical advice to help you make the most of this powerful outdoor advertising medium.

An Introduction to Advertising Hoardings

Advertising hoardings are large format advertising structures typically found in high-traffic urban locations, construction sites, and along major highways.

These eye-catching displays serve as a powerful tool for brand awareness, product promotion, and community engagement.

Unlike traditional billboards, hoardings often cover a larger area and can be customised to fit various spaces, including the sides of buildings and construction project perimeters.

Hoarding advertising offers a unique opportunity to capture the attention of passersby, commuters, and pedestrians with bold graphics, compelling messages, and striking imagery.

Whether you’re promoting new products, reinforcing brand recognition, or simply increasing visibility, advertising hoardings provide a versatile and impactful solution for businesses of all sizes.

The Benefits of Advertising on Hoardings

High Visibility

One of the primary advantages of hoarding advertising is its unparalleled visibility. Located in high-traffic areas, these large format displays command attention and ensure your message reaches a broad audience. The sheer size of hoardings allows for the use of large fonts, vibrant colours, and eye-catching graphics that are impossible to ignore.

Wide Reach

Advertising hoardings offer constant exposure to a diverse range of people, from local residents to tourists and business professionals. This broad reach helps maximise brand visibility and increases the likelihood of connecting with your target audience. Additionally, the strategic placement of hoardings in urban locations, near train stations, or along major highways ensures a steady stream of potential customers sees your advert.

Cost-Effective

Compared to other forms of advertising, such as television or print media, hoarding advertising can be a more cost-effective solution, especially when considering the number of impressions generated over time. The initial investment in design and installation is offset by the long-term exposure and potential return on investment (ROI) that comes with this type of outdoor advertising.

Flexible

Hoarding advertising offers great flexibility in terms of design, size, and placement. Whether you need a single board or a series of larger hoardings, the format can be adapted to suit your specific requirements. This flexibility extends to the content as well, allowing for easy updates and changes to keep your message fresh and relevant.

Measurable Results

With advancements in technology, it’s become easier to measure the effectiveness of hoarding advertising campaigns. QR codes, unique URLs, and social media integrations can be incorporated into your hoarding design, allowing you to track engagement and gather valuable data on your audience’s response to your advert.

Considerations for Advertising Hoardings

Location

Choosing the right location is crucial for the success of your hoarding advertising campaign. Consider factors such as foot traffic, vehicular traffic, and the surrounding landscape to ensure maximum visibility and impact.

Design

Your hoarding design should be eye-catching, easy to read, and aligned with your brand identity. Use large fonts, bold colours, and high-quality imagery to create a lasting impression on passersby.

Budget

Determine your budget early on, taking into account not only the initial costs of design and installation but also any ongoing maintenance or content update expenses.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your hoarding looking its best. Consider factors such as weather resistance, cleaning requirements, and the potential need for repairs or replacements over time.

Relevant Accessories

To ensure your hoarding is secure and long-lasting, consider these essential accessories:

Baseplates

Provide stability for on-ground hoarding systems, particularly important in windy conditions.

U Tracks

Help secure hoarding panels and create a clean, professional finish.

Corner Modules
