Bus Marketing in Moorhouse

Bus advertising is a very popular form of outdoor marketing, and with 4.53 billion bus journeys made every year, you can see why - particularly as those travelling represent a captive audience for advertisers.

Household names and local brands alike, therefore, favour advertising inside buses, seat advertising and advertising on bus sides and can be used for both commercial and public service messages to hit a variety of target markets. It is a high-frequency form of advertising. 

If you are interested in bus advertising, contact us today, and one of our friendly media planning teams will call you to discuss the various options available.

Most bus campaigns require a minimum of £3000 to have a successful impact, but this depends on your aims.

What is Bus Advertising?

Bus Advertising refers to marketing on bus vehicles and their travel infrastructure. This allows bus users to be exposed to advertising messages as they travel and, perhaps more importantly, the public who sees the buses and their adverts on the street. These adverts allow brands to communicate with various consumers across the socio-economic scale, with buses travelling to all corners of the country every day.

So, whoever you’re marketing to, it’s likely you’ll be able to hit your target audience using this popular form of out-of-home advertising and the various options available. As many million people use this popular form of transport, it is easy to see why it is so popular with many clients we deal with at PromoMedia, offering affordable options and a great return on investment. 

What are The Main Types of Bus Advertising Available? 

There are numerous ways that buses can be used for advertising. The most popular types of bus advertising are:

  • Bus back advertising and adverts on the exterior of buses - these are great and mainly target drivers of other vehicles who are stuck behind buses in traffic, at traffic lights or crossings. More detailed advertising messages can, therefore, be placed on the rears (as dwell time is high): a rarity for transport marketing. Again, these are a relatively cheap form of outdoor advertising and popular with lots of companies.

  • Bus side advertising in Moorhouse - (the main strip on the side) is also very effective - as well as T-side bus advertising, which is a larger version of this. These essentially operate as a moving billboard and are mainly seen by pedestrians walking on pavements, they are particularly effective in areas of high footfall in places such as town and city centres. This type of advertising is very popular in the retail sector.

  • Bus T-side advertising in Moorhouse - this is the large T-side poster available on the side of some buses. 

  • Bus wrap advertising in Moorhouse- is the most effective but also the most expensive form of bus advert. This is essentially branding the whole of a bus; front, back and sides. It basically allows your product to become a travelling advert! With bus warp advertising, the artwork is even placed over windows with the usage of self-adhesive perforated graphics, allowing passengers within to still see out whilst those outside are presented with a bright and seamless poster.

  • Bus seat advertising and panel adverts - inside of the vehicles are the most common form of advertising, these sit above the seats, fixed to either the walls, windows or ceilings. These are hired for set time periods and can be rotated between vehicles to ensure there aren’t too many repeat messages on one bus (these ads are sometimes known as cove adverts or bus seat advertising). These are obviously great as they are seen by the travellers for the duration of their journey and they are a popular form of bus ads with all types of industry sectors particularly finance and healthcare.

  • Bus bench advertising - advertising with stickers and vinyl on the actual seats at bus stops.

  • Bus shelter advertising (including interactive bus shelter advertising) - having posters on or inside the bus stops. Bus stop advertising (a typical bus stop poster size is a 6 sheet) can be used to reinforce other messaging whilst adding a clever and creative twist to really create something memorable and shareable. Examples of this include Norwegian Airlines, who converted bus stop seats into faux-wooden sauna benches, Wonderbra who created the illusion of glass broken by large breasts, and Apple’s Macbook Air who installed swings into bus shelters!

  • Bus ticket advertising in Moorhouse - advertising on the rear of tickets. Advertising across bus travel infrastructure such as the back of tickets is a high-frequency method that can also be used for both commercial and public service messages. The blank space on the back of tickets makes for a marketing opportunity that people tend to keep in their wallet or purse – so is a popular choice for coupons or point-of-purchase usage.

What Are The Costs of Bus Advertising?

The three main factors which determine the costs of advertising on a bus are below:

  1. location – some areas of the country are more expensive than others. Areas with a denser population mean that they are more expensive as they are seen by more people. For example, London bus stop advertising and London bus ads, in general, are more expensive than more rural areas and regional campaigns. 

  2. Size of fleet – the number of buses you choose to advertise on will impact the overall costs; the more buses you want your bus ads on the higher the costs.

  3. Type of advert – as mentioned there are lots of bus advertising options in very simple terms the bigger the ad the higher the cost. That said, the bigger ads have more impact and a better return on investment, so the higher outlay is often a sound investment.

  4. Length of campaign – the longer you want your bus ads to run the more expensive, again, however, it is proven that the longer the ads are up the better the return on investment.

What are The Benefits of Bus Advertising for My Company?

Many million people travel by bus every day, and many people prefer buses to other forms of public transport, for advertisers this offers great benefits, the main ones are: 

  • Captive audience -  it is a period in which we’re seated and often not really focusing on anything specific. Unless a bus passenger is new to a location, in which case they’re more inclined to be looking out of the window, their focus is easily drawn to advertising – particularly if it is bright, eye-catching or clever. A captive audience of this type is more likely than those ‘on the move’ to enter a URL into their device or take an action stipulated on an advert. Keeping your advertising interesting and clear but intriguing enough to encourage further activity can be extremely beneficial and successful.

  • A varied social target audience can be reached - bus users can be identified and broken down into several socio-economic groups, including some that can be hard to reach. For example, older people are likely to use bus travel in the UK over other methods of transport due to their free usage but are often not easily reached using online or television advertising. Generally, as buses drive through all areas most social and economic groups are likely to see these ads. 

  • Wide geographical reach - another benefit is that even those who don’t use buses themselves are still prone to seeing bus advertising: 90% of the British population live within 5 minutes of a bus route. It’s important therefore not to discount it from your marketing campaigns, even if you think your target audience aren’t regularly using the bus, as they will still be exposed to marketing messages on the side of vehicles, as well as at bus stops.

  • Works as part of a broader campaign - bus advertising can also reinforce brand messages as part of your overall marketing mix, even if you don’t use it as a primary advertising channel. With high levels of brand awareness in recall tests, bus advertising can enhance your existing offering and become an invaluable part of your communications strategy. PromoMedia are able to advise, create and manage your bus advertising campaigns – whether they’re a reinforcement of other messaging or the fundamental marketing channel for your brand.

Targeting Demographics with Bus Advertising

All adverts on buses can be targeted; right down to set routes. For example, public service messages aimed at children can be placed on school buses, event messaging can be placed on routes near to where an event is happening (eg. a concert, stage show), and national product messages can be plastered over all routes (London bus advertising typically carrying large national campaigns), whilst local companies can be very specific. The best bus stop advertising methods, therefore, vary depending on what you are promoting. Whether this is a local product or something with a national appeal (many people prefer buses and many million use them every week). It can be managed by contacting the bus travel provider directly, however, this can be complicated as there are hundreds of them across the country and in approaching media owners directly potential advertisers (such as yourselves) end up paying rate card costs. At PromoMedia we manage these relationships for you and have existing relationships in place, so we can successfully place your bus advert across various bus fleets at the best advertising rates, no matter where they are in the UK.

Combination Marketing Options - What Other Options Does It Work Well With?

It is also commonly combined with other forms of outdoor advertising. Typically successful combinations include other general forms of outdoor advertising, targeted local television advertising and train station advertising.
