Aerial Advertising - Effectively Reach Crowds On A Budget

By: Samuel S. Peters

Most businesses realize the importance of advertising and make it a significant part of their budget. Some opt for word-of-mouth ads and this certainly builds a solid base of clients who are happy with a product or service. But it is also a slow way to get a new business off the ground.

This is the reason why many target their local community with high cost radio and television ads. The price of the ad is determined through the use of polls which estimate the number of people watching. However, these numbers can often be inflated due to channel surfing during breaks in a program. If it's actually read, printed advertisements put a coupon or offer right in the prospect's hand. Also, internet advertising is growing in popularity but some find it difficult to target the audience they are aiming for.

To quickly and effectively inform a local population of a product or service, one novel plan is to use aerial advertising. This is the way it works. A firm is hired to make a large banner displaying a product or service message. Scheduled around a popular event such as a sporting event, beach, parade, or concert, it grabs the attention of the crowd, causing them to look up, read the ad which then sticks in their memory. How much does it cost? A lot less than you might think.

Though it costs less, aerial advertising reaches more people in a more effective way. One example is a beach in Miami that was advertised to and then, 30 minutes later, 2000 people were surveyed. The survey showed that 88% knew the ad had flown by, 79% could recall the product or service, and 67% could recall at least half of the exact message. Could the printed media or radio and TV ads match this effectiveness at a reasonable five dollars per thousand people targeted? Amazingly, you can reach the same number of people with less than half the budget required for traditional advertising by using aerial advertising. Those spending significant amounts of their budget on traditional advertising would do well to consider this option.

It works like this. The drone of the plane in the sky causes people to look up. There, behind the plane, is a banner flapping in the wind and displaying a large, readable message, product, logo, or website. Curiosity sets in. "Who hired this plane to tote their message?" "Who is going to pay so much to get their message to the public?" or some wonder simply, "What does it say?" For up to seventeen seconds the people watching can repeatedly read the ad. The message has been delivered.

For those concerned about the air pollution of the plane, consider in contrast the amount of land pollution resulting from fliers reaching the same number of people? Aerial advertising is non-invasive, without waste products, and proven effective.

Companies interested in reaching a large number of people in a short period of time with their product or service should consider looking into aerial advertising as a means to this end.
