What is Bus Stop Advertising?

Put simply, it is using the infrastructure of the public bus shelters to post marketing messages. Popular options include:

Standard poster panels - 4 sheets and 6 sheets as discussed.
Back-lit posters - round-the-clock and round-the-year advertising with posters that stand out in the evening and winter months.
Digital advertising posters - which allows for frequent and swift changing and adapting of messaging, and can be done on a full-time or rotational basis.
Take-over - the opportunity to fully brand a bus shelter, right down to the seats! With this option, there’s an opportunity for advertisers to create a memorable brand presence with bus shelter advertising; successful examples of this include Norwegian Airlines, who converted bus shelter seats into faux-wooden sauna benches.
Bus bench - benches can be branded and coloured to carry any message that you like.

If any of these advertising options are of interest to you simply drop us a message today and one of our specialists will give you a call back to discuss the options in more detail, as well as supplying free quotes.

What Are The Benefits of Bus Shelter Advertising?

We believe the main two benefits of bus stop advertising are:

Mass exposure - it’s commonly considered that only bus users see adverts on bus shelters but this simply isn’t correct. Those waiting for buses are joined by those walking past, those disembarking buses and those riding or driving past. This great exposure means it is an effective and brilliant way to promote nearly any service, product or company. Whilst not an advertising medium that many consider right away, an advertisement on a bus shelter in Mereside achieves levels of mass exposure that other outdoor channels can struggle to achieve.
Hits a cross-section of society - one of the other main benefits is its ability to reach both a wide audience but also some notoriously difficult socio-economic segments which can’t be obtained easily by other outdoor advertising methods. This includes older people, who travel often in the UK by bus (as they’re able to receive free journeys), and lower-income audiences who find bus travel cheaper than other alternatives.

The area - regions with high footfall (and therefore high exposure) are more expensive than those in more rural, less busy areas.

The length and duration of your bus stop or bus shelter advertising campaign - e.g. 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months etc. will also affect the cost. The longer a bus ad campaign runs the more expensive it will be.
