A Wonderful Time of the Year:
Attracting Holiday Shoppers with Adload Advertising
The holiday season is approaching. This year, experts think the number of Americans hitting the road to visit family for the winter holidays will rise. While the last few years saw a marked decrease in road trips and vacations, people are ready to get back together in a big way. And advertisers may not realize it, but ramping up their out-of-home (OOH) advertising should ideally begin in October, as winter travel increases.
However, many types of OOH ads are limited in scope. For example, billboards are gone in a flash, and even radio ads are easy to tune out or avoid altogether. But there’s a type of advertising that has the advantage of a captive audience even on those long highway stretches between towns—digital out-of-home (DOOH) ads by Adload.
Let’s look at how holiday travel can translate to measurable brand awareness and interest.
More Trucks on the Road Means More Ad Opportunities
As holiday spending ramps up in the final months of the year, more truckers hit the roads to bring shipments to stores. And with more trucks on the roads and highways, your ads have a greater chance of getting seen if you go with Adload. That’s because Adload works with trucks that work dedicated routes.
And during the holiday season, with more trucks working additional dedicated routes, drivers are more likely to see an Adload display. Finally, many people now split their holiday shopping between online and in-person purchases. This continued growth in the online shopping sector will result in more trucks transporting these goods to warehouses and shipping centers.
Why You Should Get Your Ads Out There Sooner
While there are always stragglers buying last-minute gifts, experts note that people are likely to do their holiday shopping earlier in the season. In fact, many consumers have indicated they’ll be starting their holiday shopping a bit earlier this year, so they have plenty of time to get all the gifts they want. And those shoppers will be on the road, potentially seeing Adload’s state-of-the-art digital LED displays.
Drivers Are a Captive Audience
Adload's innovative DOOH technology will also find a captive audience with another group of road warriors—vacationers. For several years, many families have limited or canceled travel plans and are more than ready to travel to see family and friends. Another factor affecting the surge in road trip plans is the shortage of pilots and crew for planes. With many canceled flights, travelers are turning to rental cars and driving their own vehicles to their destinations. And these drivers could be seeing your targeted holiday advertising on a weatherproof, auto-adjusting display.
Adload chooses heavily-traveled shipping routes so your holiday ads will get high visibility and the greatest number of impressions. And this season has enormous potential. Let’s look at some of the numbers according to recent polls
The majority—6 in 10—said they have plans to travel for the holidays. Sixty-four percent or nearly two-thirds of those with travel plans say they’ll drive their personal vehicle. More than half, or 55 percent, say they’ll travel 400 miles or more to their holiday destination.
More drivers on the road for longer means more opportunities to make a good impression with our crisp, clear LED displays.
