Billboards

If you need to make a big impact in your local area, billboard advertising can do the trick. But this is not for all companies especially not for the smaller companies. Billboards are often quite expensive and located at sites with a big audience reach. Reach and frequency are two really important aspects of any advertisement and if you make good outdoor advertising which engages the consumer - that means you provid ads that are smart and have colour, humour and insight to the billboard - than it most certainly will work.
