The Real Power of Transit Advertising with Eye 4 Media
In today's digital age, where online ads continually flash before our eyes, there's an unsung hero in the advertising space that's been consistently performing well: transit advertising. Out-of-home advertising (OOH), especially transit media, offers a dynamic solution to the age-old quest for audience attention.
Why Transit Advertising?
Traditional billboards might come to mind when you think of OOH advertising, but transit advertising dives deeper into the urban fabric, creating touchpoints in places traditional billboards can't reach. It capitalises on daily routines, with ads displayed on vehicles that commute through the city and its suburbs, granting businesses an omnipresence in their target audience's life.
According to the American Public Transit Association (APTA), transit advertising can reach up to 83% of commuters on weekdays and 69% on weekends, generating over half a billion dollars in ad revenue. This prevalence means significant, memorable impacts on audiences, especially for local brands targeting community members.
The Science Behind the Impressions
Eye 4 Media introduces an enticing model of transit advertising. According to 3M, a globally recognised brand, a city will witness approximately 3,000 people every hour laying their eyes on a branded vehicle. Leveraging this statistic, we've calculated that each of our average packages of five privately-owned cars being viewed for only eight hours a day equates to a staggering 120,000 impressions daily for a single campaign. Spread this over our 13-week package, and you're looking at an impressive 11 million impressions per campaign.
Moreover, our unique Eye 4 Zone targeting ensures an additional 50,000 impressions per month. This means, on average, you're not just achieving visibility; you're becoming a familiar presence in people's lives.
The Alluring Cost-Per-Million Metric (CPM)
In the advertising world, CPM stands for Cost Per Mille (or cost per thousand impressions). It's a metric used to determine the cost of 1,000 advertisement impressions on one webpage. In the UK, the average CPM for most advertising mediums hovers around £5.
With Eye4 Media, our unique blend of transit advertising and Eye4 Zone targeting brings the average CPM down to an estimated £0.91, based on our projected impressions. That's a significant difference and offers immense value for businesses looking to get the most out of their advertising budget.
Local Vs. Global Impact
One might wonder, with the world at our fingertips, why focus locally? The answer is simple: relevance. Localised advertising creates a stronger connection with the audience. They're not just viewing a brand; they're experiencing it in their community, on their daily commute, and during their weekend outings. This familiarity breeds trust and increases the likelihood of audience engagement.
Transit advertising, particularly with Eye4 Media’s approach, allows brands to target specific locales, ensuring their message resonates deeply with the local populace while still having the potential for broader reach.
