Advertising on buses in Old Mead is a very popular marketing method and has been for many years, due to the number of people who see these ads on a daily basis; this includes people who use them, but also pedestrians and the general public.
Buses travel through villages, towns and cities across the UK, all day every day, whilst many major towns and cities also run "night services" - so basically your adverts can be seen pretty much all day, every day. This means they offer fantastic value for money in achieving mass exposure. They are used by local and national companies, whilst also being popular with major international brands and major films. In light of that, they get booked up in advance so early planning is recommended.
Most of the bus companies regionally are franchised and so knowing who to deal with can be tricky, however, at Billboard Advertising, we work with these companies every day and so can make the process simple, getting you amazing rates and the routes you require.
They are lots of options to consider when looking to add advertising on buses to your marketing mix. These options include:
Bus sides - basically advertising on the large strips on the sides of buses.
Bus backs - these are small posters positioned on the back of the buses, mainly seen by cars and vehicles behind.
T-sides - these are a form of bus side ads, essentially forming a T-shaped poster.
Cove adverts - these are posters inside buses, normally near or above the seating of the bus passengers.
Ticket receipt advertising - simply marketing messages put on the back of tickets for bus passengers to read.
