Why Choose Advertising on Buses?

Advertising on buses in South Darenth has been a very popular marketing method for many years due to the large number of people who see these ads daily. This includes not only users 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 bus companies in the region are franchised, so knowing who to deal with can be tricky. However, at Billboard Advertising, we work with these companies every day and can make the process simple, getting you amazing rates and the routes you require.
