The first thing that comes to mind when talking about mobile billboard truck is cost.. However, the costs vary depending on whether your ad campaign uses a digital mobile billboard or a static one. For a 6-inch by a 10-inch digital billboard, you should be ready to pay up to $1,800 for a single truck per 8 hour day. However, you may pay more depending on the timing of the ad campaign as well as the kind of market you are targeting. On the other hand, a static billboard attracts a cost of about $1,000 per truck for an 8-hour day.
The cost of using a mobile billboard truck for ad campaigns is high, while there is no guarantee of achieving the expected return on investments (ROI). It is because such ad campaigns do not enable businesses to pinpoint the exact demographics of the consumers that they would like to reach. As such, the level of brand engagement and direct action that results from the campaign is very low.
Effective media should enable a clear way to track number of impressions. Traditional OOH advertising as billboards display lack of targeting and tracking possibilities. The fact that many highway drivers cannot focus on the ad message generate a low engagement with the target audience. The costs of billboards depend on format, circulation, demographics, and impressions. Traditional billboards have high costs, low ROI cost varies $14,000-20,000/month in larger markets. Some cities imposed a ban of billboards due to visual pollution. Unconventional agencies provide alternatives to the targeting issues with approaches as mobile billboards, digital OOH, ads on trucks and other ads in places people don’t expect to see as flags, backpacks, inflatable objects, gas pump and balloons.
