LET US SHOW YOU HOW

Know Your Area

Do you understand who the people are in your area? By forming a picture of the different people who make up your community you can then decide how to use your multi-channel marketing strategy to connect with each type of person.

Demographics of suburbs in cities vary greatly with differences in their socio-economic status, culture, and age just to list a few. Small towns differ from big cities, coastal areas differ from inland regions and everywhere in between. Therefore, it is essential that your business understands the area it exists in. This means knowing the people, what they want, how they think and what they enjoy doing.

Understanding them allows you to manage expectations and better meet the needs of the community. What does the community value? Whatever it is that brings the community together you can utilise this to further your relationship with your audience. If your brand can build an authentic relationship, then they will look to support you in return.

According to the Outdoor Media Association, a leading specialist that collates the latest data on the benefits of OOH advertising, OOH audiences are more receptive and likely to act on your brand messages.

“Alertness increases by 98% outside the home, which drives the attention and memory encoding necessary for advertising impact”

This means that your customer will be more inclined to take action if they see your advert out of home!
