Creative OOH with Mobile Billboards
Globally, the amount of money going to advertising campaigns is expected to breach the half-a-trillion dollar mark in 2019. In particular, the internet is increasingly becoming pivotal in ad campaigns. eMarketer expects digital platforms to account for more than half of the total ad spend in 2019 in the US. Traditional media like TV and radio will account for less than half of the total ad spend. It has happened for the first time in the history of the industry. Comparably, digital platforms like Facebook, Google, and Amazon will account for 54.2% of the market share.
From the preceding, the need for brand visibility is more urgent today than ever before. The billboard backpacks are ideal for outdoor advertising campaigns. Competition is getting tougher hence the need for brands to grow their presence through creating awareness. However, the enormous sums of money that go to advertising budgets do not always achieve the objectives. As such, there is a need for more innovative means of selling the brand to the target audience.

The business of marketing is changing in the age of COVID-19. Whether its effects are brief or prolonged, marketers need to be nimble in these challenging times, and pivot when needed while optimizing performance throughout the crisis.

Backpack billboard offers a simple yet powerful ad avenue
Consumers are sophisticated people, and sometimes it takes the most straightforward move to capture their imagination. It takes the most daring advertiser to reach the most customers. Before the digital advertisement revolution, billboards and other out-of-home (OOH) avenues were the most preferred for ad campaigns. In the US alone, there are more than 1 million OOH displays targeting consumers. Billboards alone were 342,000 as of August 2019.
Yet businesses are still struggling with conversion rates and a poor return on investment. It is where the backpack billboard comes in. In all the traditional and digital ad platforms, the missing link is the human connection. Drivers on the highway cannot interact with billboards beyond the fact that they are objects selling a particular brand. Hence, the effectiveness of the platform is greatly hampered.
On the contrary, human or backpack billboards are unconventional. They allow the target audience to interact with the message on a human level. Additionally, the grassroots nature of the campaign delivers the message in an ambient atmosphere. Besides carrying the billboard from one point to the next, the human porter sells the brand as an ambassador. Ultimately, business spends less on ad campaigns but can record ridiculously high conversion rates.
In-the-hand marketing is doubly unconventional
To be sure, using backpack billboards to advertise is unconventional but in-the-hand marketing is twice that. Particularly, the latter is hard to ignore and it enables the advertiser to reach the precise target audience. Consider a placemat in a restaurant within a college campus. If you wanted to display your brand to college going kids, advertising on such a placemat is ideal. What you need to do is to print the message as well as your business logo on the placemat. As such, the ad will be on display for every college student that drops in for a meal.
