Mobile billboard advertising is shown to be exceptionally effective in comparison to traditional static methods. While you might be thinking of a billboard on wheels, as many trucks qualify for, this includes more than just actual billboard trucks. Any sort of car, truck, and trailer wraps are considered mobile or โ€œout of homeโ€ advertising, all of which have certain benefits over standard advertising tools.

This article will discuss some of the advantages that mobile advertising can have for your business marketing, using the cost-effective power of vehicle and trailer wrapping to boost your reach further than traditional advertising avenues alone. Hereโ€™s how our trailer graphics wraps can help your marketing budget truly shine.

The Advantages of Mobile Marketing

Mobile marketing includes things like car and trailer wraps. Graphics catch the eye, drawing customer attention in a sea of advertisements. Consider that most customers are exposed to thousands of ads per day, which makes it difficult to stand out. People have shorter attention spans than ever before, thanks to the power of mobile smart devices. As a vehicle for both advertising and searching for products and services, smart devices have completely changed the marketing landscape. 

One of the ways in which marketing has changed is the short attention spans and the deluge of competing offers. If you want to catch a customerโ€™s interest, you have to do so quickly, with a memorable and easy-to-read design. If you can do this, however, itโ€™s a big advantage: mobile billboards garner as much as 2.5 times the attention that static ads do. Impressive! Customers tend to recall the mobile ads with greater clarity, as well. 

The return on investment with mobile advertising makes it one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies. Only online ads are reliably cheaper per impression than mobile ads. High-quality trailer graphics wraps reach more people, are remembered by more people, and are more noticeable than their stationary counterparts. 

Consider that a static billboard has zero impact on people who fail to see it. If customers arenโ€™t driving in that specific area and looking at that particular billboard, your advertising dollars are wasted. If traffic is heavy, they may not have time to look at something far to the side of the road, nor enough time to take in all the details, one of the main reasons youโ€™d want such a large canvas. 

Comparatively, mobile billboards are seen by hundreds or thousands of other drivers every time your company vehicle is on the road. Anyone stuck at a red light behind your vehicle is exposed to your advertising. This is why we recommend adding more information to the rear of your vehicle or trailer wrapping than you would on the sides. 

Compared to expensive, high-end paint jobs, vinyl wraps make it much easier to modify your trailer graphics. Wraps are easy to install and remove, and you can always modify a partial wrap to update your business information or branding, such as if your company has moved locations or has taken on a new service feature. 

Why Vinyl Trailer Wraps?

So why should you use vinyl wraps over paint jobs? Cost is one of the biggest advantages: wraps are cheaper than any high-quality paint jobs, and require less care in the end. While you do have to avoid harsh chemicals and brushes when washing a wrapped vehicle, you donโ€™t have to wait for paint to dry or worry about flaking and chipping due to weather conditions. Wraps are durable and last for several years if properly cared for, and theyโ€™re easier to update or modify when the time comes.

The ease of customization makes vinyl wraps ideal for fleet vehicles, allowing you to make one design, then quickly print and install your brand messaging. 

Enhance Your Brand

The best branding consists of several design elements: color, shape, slogan, etc. Imagery in marketing psychology is a fascinating topic that lies well beyond the scope of one article, but for the best wraps, follow a few simple rules. 

Donโ€™t put too much information in a small space. You donโ€™t want your design to be too busy. Most people will only get to look at your trailer for a few seconds at a time. Some may have a longer look, but remember that attention spans are under assault at all times by ads, life stresses, road conditions, and more. For maximum impact, get your point across quickly and efficiently.

Make sure that your company name is clearly visible. If customers remember nothing else, when they Google search your company later, they might remember the name. Even if they fail to remember that, with a striking graphic design, your branding choices will trigger the recall when they come upon it in search results. 

Keep it bold, clear, and easy to take in at a glance.
