In the receding world of print advertising, the landscape is littered with big promises and small statistics. In the small viewport of the ever-cluttered internet ad landscape, the same dynamic is occurring everyday with diminishing ROI on impressions and admitted ‘ad blindness’ reported in study after study where respondents were bombarded with too many contravening messages in a small viewport area online in too short of a time.
You need an advertising strategy that can hold your viewer hostage for more than six seconds and can push your brand message across multiple demographics in a hyper-local, but tangible way, while people are on the go. That’s why there’s never been a better time to explore mobile billboard advertising statistics and discover what the outdoor advertising industry already knows… mobile billboards sell.
The comments and statistics speak for themselves. No other medium today is as powerful or as effective as mobile billboard advertising. Check out these mobile billboard statistics and outdoor advertising industry statistics to see what’s in store for your brand or promotion!

Americans report spending an average of 15 hours a week in-car, either as driver or passenger. Young men 18-34, elusive to TV advertisers, have huge exposure to outdoor media. In-car audiences are a vital advertising consideration in all-sized U.S. media markets. Outdoor and radio advertising are very complementary.”

We called ILUM with a last minute campaign. We wanted to promote our newest beverage product to all the patrons of a huge Monday Night Football Game. ILUM and their staff received our images on Monday morning and had 3 trucks dispatched to the stadium 3 hours before kick off and stayed 2 hours after. Our phone rang off the hook!!
Our 1 week campaign around the streets of South Florida was a wonderful experience. The staff at ILUM stayed in contact with us. At one point the customized route we decided to go with turned out to be not the best. ILUM advised us, we changed the route and they did not charge us for the 4 hours of the “bad” route we sent to them!!
We called ILUM on a Wednesday. Within 24 hours they activated our campaign – they assisted with the ad, coordinated the custom route and had seven 22ft Large Vinyl Billboards blanketing Central Florida.
We called ILUM with an idea. Their creative team executed far beyond our wildest dreams. The 3D Mobile Showroom they put together was amazing. We covered over 2,000 miles in Florida and had an amazing response! We will definitely use ILUM again!!
From idea to reality, just amazing and great RESULTS!
