What is Phone Box Advertising?

It is basically using the internal and external parts of a phone box to advertise on.

The most popular form of advertising is the ‘wrapping’ of the exterior (this is also sometimes known as ‘kiosk advertising’). This is where printed cards carry images and marketing messages placed on them, placed on panels built into the door or walls of the phone kiosk or box. They can also be put onto plastic wraps (with small holes within) so that people in the kiosk can still see out.

Phone box advertising in Keeran can also include marketing options within the inside as well, placing your advert onto a digital board affixed to the one opaque size of the structure. Sometimes there are also digital screens where marketing trailers and images can also be played out.

Benefits of Telephone Box Advertising

There are many benefits including:

Great locations - it has a key advantage over many other out-of-home advertising channels in that they are at eye-level and often on busy high streets – the public is already looking at them, rather than having to look up to see a brand’s message on a higher billboard. They are also presented to both potential and new customers in easily accessible locations, where it is hard to avoid them such as street corners. BT phone boxes are quite the tourist attraction for those visiting the UK from abroad (and are well photoed as they are so iconic), so keeping your ads bright and vibrant will help increase the chance that your ads will be visible and even shared across social networks.
Cheap advertising medium - as it is still so under-used, it’s a cheap method of spreading marketing messages in Keeran far and wide for little cost. They make for a great brand awareness tool with high performance in recall tests. They subsequently deliver a fantastic return on investment compared to other mass marketing channels.
Targetted - despite being a mass marketing technique primarily, it can also heavily targeted and can work on location proximity, hitting a specific target audience. If you have a physical bricks-and-mortar premise, you can direct consumers to it, or you can change your messages to tailor them to the location.
