What is Roadside Advertising?

Roadside advertising consists of large poster sites positioned at the sides of roads and motorways to promote goods, services, or products.

This form of outdoor advertising started as murals painted on the exterior walls of buildings in the 1790s, and its purpose was the same as today: to promote businesses and products. Certainly, by the early 1900s, its usage had expanded, and national, commercial, and public service companies were using it to promote their products. It is still the favoured form of local business advertising.

As the years passed, this popular form of advertising grew and grew before blossoming into the sophisticated roadside advertising you see today, including a wide range of sizes and traditional printed and digital options.

The Benefits of Roadside Billboards in Chapel Fields

Roadside advertising garners high levels of exposure and is an effective way of getting brand messages out to a mass market quickly. A bold and eye-catching billboard advert has a high level of recall from audiences that have seen it.

Unlike other mass media marketing communication channels, billboards can’t be switched off. This means they are always present – illuminated at night or even backlit billboard ad options available should these be of interest. This means that even if a consumer isn’t feeling open-minded or receptive to see an ad, it's still unavoidable and so the message will always be seen.

Roadside advertising is one of only a few marketing methods that give the brand full creative authority over the advertising space, displaying it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the period chosen.

The impact of roadside advertising is, therefore, great and offers a fantastic return on investment.

Road Billboard Ad Sizes

Billboard sizes can vary and there are many options to consider when looking to implement this type of out of home advertising.

The main billboard ad types as part of a roadway advertising campaign are outlined below, although for more info, drop us a message:

48 sheet posters - the standard and most typical advert size are known as 48 sheets. 48 sheets are an affordable and popular form of marketing and are used in both local billboard advertising campaigns as well as by large national outdoor campaigns by major brands all over the UK. A minimum booking period for a 48 sheet is typically 2 weeks. It is worth pointing out that the best 48 sheet poster sites get booked months in advance, so where possible plan ahead to achieve the best outdoor advertising positions. Some other billboard companies will get you 48 sheets very last minute (and we can do this if you like), however, buying sites late often mean they are not very popular and sought after, so advise caution with such purchases. Buying late and cheaply isn’t always buying sensibly.
96 sheet posters – these are giant posters! They are basically double the size of 48 sheets. 96 sheets are massively impactful and can be found in prime, high traffic locations as well as at roadsides and even at the side of motorways. For more information on 96 sheet posters visit the following page - where you will find 96 sheet specifications and 96 sheet dimensions. 96 sheets are similar to 48 sheets in terms of booking periods as mentioned above, so please bear that in mind.

Street Billboard Advertising Placements

Street billboards and advertising billboards can be used en masse to reach a large cross-section of society nationally or more targeted to a locale, whereby a specific audience can be reached. For example, local businesses can choose to focus on just one area, even signposting customers towards their premises. We, therefore, find many local advertisers use billboards very close to the services they are promoting. For example, restaurants often place billboards close to their eateries, taxi firms often place large billboards outside their premises, etc.

These types of outdoor ads are great for announcing your presence in an area and there are options to suit most budgets. Simply drop us a message to find out more information today.

Messaging on Roadside Banners and Outdoor Advertising

Billboards can be used either as a primary marketing channel or as part of a wider marketing mix for your campaign. Your overall brand proposition should remain clear and consistent, but messaging can be changed and tweaked depending on the channel used. However, as people can be driving by at speed we suggest strong imagery and strong catch-phrases; potential customers don’t have long to read – get to the point!

Why Use Roadside Billboards?

Roadside advertising enjoys high levels of public exposure and can make an excuse to get creative with messaging. Highly adaptable to audience segments in terms of both socio-economic demographics and geographic location, using roadside billboards to communicate marketing messages is a time-favoured communications channel that boasts high levels of success again and again.

Roadside Billboard Considerations

When selecting the type of billboard you’d like to advertise on for your roadside advertising, consider your audience, your messaging, and your budget.

Digital billboards are the easiest roadside channel upon which to change, adapt and update adverts but these are few and far between in some locations and can’t be bought everywhere. Standard roadside billboard advertising can’t be so easily changed, but using them creatively can make a real impression and deliver an unforgettable marketing experience to the viewer.

Roadside Advertising Ideas

In 2014, Beck’s Beer used billboards that played music, but since then, many brands have used imaginative graphic creatives to make an impression. These include Bic, which ‘shaved’ grass with fake razors, and Ford, which used spinning wheels on roadside posters to billow smoke.

We will help advise you on the creative process and implementation from end to end to best achieve the success of your marketing and make you stand out from your competitors, either as part of a wider communications strategy or as a primary channel.
