What Is Truck Advertising?

Truck advertising is a type of out-of-home (OOH) advertising that allows your message to hit the road! This dynamic, multi-dimensional style of advertising utilizes digital or static billboards wrapped around trucks. These trucks are then able to highlight your messaging in high-traffic areas that might not be as conducive to a standard billboard, putting your ad in front of the people who need it at all hours of the day.

It’s estimated that US drivers spend around 17,600 minutes driving each year—nearly 300 hours. If you’re not taking advantage of the opportunity to reach people during those 300 hours, you’re missing a huge window of time in which people have nothing to do but look out the window and take in the sights.

What Are the Benefits of Truck Advertising?

Truck advertising offers a wide range of benefits to advertisers looking for a unique, eye-catching OOH advertising solution. Here are a few of its top benefits:

Mobile Reach

When you advertise with a static billboard, your ad is tied to a singular location. While this can have its benefits, there’s also something to be said for an ad that goes where your customers are, making a statement on busy roads and in crowded parking lots. You’re able to reach different neighborhoods and demographics in a way that static billboards can’t.

Geographic Targeting

Perhaps no form of advertising offers quite as much geographical control as an ad that can be driven anywhere you want it to go. Want to make sure that your ad hits rush hour traffic, cruises downtown on busy weekends, and lingers near late-night spots? With mobile truck billboards, you can.

High Visibility

With the right design (which a great OOH team will be sure to provide), you can trust that your ad will be impossible to miss. Truck billboards are large, eye-catching, and immediately in the line of sight, making for an ad that can’t be ignored.

Where Will My Truck Billboard Be Seen?

Your advertisement will circulate everywhere that your customers are. Popular locations include:

  • Downtown areas
  • Local highways
  • Stadiums and arenas
  • Tourist hotspots
  • Shopping centers
  • Business districts

Whether you’re promoting an upcoming event, planning a product launch, or working to build better brand awareness, you can know that you’re going to get the ultimate visibility with your media truck.

Are Digital Truck Billboards or Static Truck Billboards Better?

Both digital OOH and static truck billboards can be valuable advertising tools for your business. The right choice for you comes down to your preferences and needs.

Mobile Static Billboard Trucks

Static truck billboards offer a classic, clean simplicity. They’re at their best when they’re bold, colorful, and straightforward, making it clear to anyone passing by exactly what you’re advertising.

Mobile Digital Billboard Trucks

Digital truck billboards offer a more customized experience. These LED screen trucks offer rotating ads—meaning that, depending on how much you pay, your ad could either be interspersed with ads from other advertisers, or display multiple creative versions of your ad. Digital billboards can also change which ads they show at different times or locations, providing an added level of control for advertisers.

Pro tip: consumers are more likely to share DOOH ads that are interactive or animated, so consider that when crafting your creative!
