OUTDOOR COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF OUTDOOR ADVERTISING As a means of communication in public space, outdoor advertising assuredly reaches its audience. Consumers can't "switch it off" or "throw it out." They are constantly exposed to it. In this sense, outdoor advertising truly has a "captive audience." . Its messages work on the advertising principle of "frequency." Since most messages stay in the same place for a period of one month or more, people who drive by or walk past see the same message a number of times. Outdoor advertising is efficient. No other advertising medium reaches as many people, as often, at such a low cost. Creativity is the key to outdoor advertising! Thus, more and more advertisers resort to colourful, creative and eye-catching special projects to convey their message in a memorable and impactful way. POC STUDY – OUTDOOR ADVERTISING PERSUADES According to recent study POC (which stands for Proving Outdoor Works), conducted between January 25th and March 28th 2010 by research company D&D Research and based on a campaign that ran exclusively on outdoor, 84% of the respondents have a positive attitude towards outdoor advertising.
