Billboards: Why You're Looking in All the Wrong Places
Ever caught yourself squinting at a billboard, trying to make out what it’s actually selling, while zooming past on the freeway? Yeah, me too. It’s 2025, folks—time to rethink where we're sticking these ads.
Location, Location, and… Timing?
Picture this: a billboard right outside the latest, overhyped coffee shop where every hipster and their dog queues up for a taste of that ‘artisanal experience’. Better than sticking one by a highway where everyone’s blitzing past at 80 mph, right?
And here’s a kicker: transit ads on bus stops—where people actually have the time to read and absorb your message while pretending not to notice the weirdo beside them. Yes, I’ve been there, done that, and got the ROI to prove it works.
Why the Right Spot Matters More Than Ever
Remember the time you tried to cut your own hair during quarantine? Placing a billboard without strategic thinking is a bit like that—bold move, questionable results. In the bustling world of 2025, it’s not just about visibility. It’s about context.
In my experience, the perfect billboard location is less about the highway and more about the hangout. Think shopping malls, arenas, or my favorite – right near tech stores. Techies can’t resist a good ad!
Checklist for Choosing Killer Billboard Locations
- Heavy foot traffic areas (not just vehicle traffic!)
- Proximity to relevant businesses (like tech shops for gadget ads)
- Places where people wait (bus stops, train stations)
- Near popular eateries and coffee shops
- Community event spaces (because local is the new global)
- Virtual reality billboards? It's 2025, could be a thing!
- Anywhere with a selfie hotspot—yes, it works.
Armed with this list, you might just revolutionize how and where you rent your next billboard. I mean, why go traditional when you can be trailblazing?
