Here are some of the main roles that outdoor display screens play in marketing:
Increasing Awareness Generally, the location of outdoor screens is chosen in crowded squares that witness many passersby, such as main streets and public transport stations, where they can attract the attention of passersby by displaying attractive content aimed at increasing public awareness of the brand.
Enhancing Product Importance Display By displaying high-quality videos or attractive high-quality images, the advantages of the product are better highlighted, or how to use the product is shown, creating a competitive advantage for the product and increasing the audience’s connection with the company and its products.
Targeting a Wide Audience If the screen is placed in a wide square or a large street, and let’s assume this street has a school or university, then this street or square is a strategic place to place the screen. This place witnesses a large number of passersby of different ages, and thus advertisements can be changed to suit the appropriate audience. At three o’clock in the afternoon, marketing messages can be broadcast to the student category, which is the time they leave schools, and at five o’clock in the evening, the message can be changed to a larger category, which is the employees. Thus, outdoor screens can be used to direct marketing messages to different age groups, and this has become easily possible by controlling the displayed content remotely.
Analyzing and Measuring Performance Advertising campaigns can be tracked and their performance measured to assess the effectiveness of advertisements by measuring the number of times the advertisement is displayed and the response rate to it to improve future marketing strategies.
