Lorry and Truck Advertising in Waterloo

Truck advertising (also known as trailer or lorry advertising) is an often overlooked form of outdoor advertising. 

It is simply using commercial Heavy Good Vehicles (HGVs), owned by independent haulage companies across the country, to effectively brand and use these vehicles to promote products, goods or services. It is effectively a mobile billboard which has the capacity to be seen by thousands daily across a wide geographical area.

Our teams can arrange local campaigns along certain routes, as well as national and even international campaigns. Contact us today for more information.

Most campaigns have a recommended minimum spend of £3000 to have a successful impact but this depends on your aims.

What is Truck Advertising?

Basically, a truck advertising campaign is the branding of trucks and lorries to carry promotional artwork, logos and messaging, in order to promote brands, services and products. 

These vehicles often drive long distances and are in essence a form of moving billboard, meaning that these adverts are potentially seen over a wide geographical range; on a national and sometimes even international level. They are a form of marketing that isn't particularly targeted but the amount of people they are exposed to, who are both socially diverse and wide-reaching, makes it a good option for any marketing campaign. There are also stand-alone and static options.  

What Are the Best Truck and Lorry Advertising Options?

The various formats offered are outlined below but for more information get in touch:

• Full Wraps - we believe nothing beats a fully wrapped truck at getting your company or brand noticed across the UK or regionally, as over 55,000 highly receptive people can see them on a daily basis. A wrap encompasses using both sides of the truck and the rear doors. They are essentially an eye-catching moving billboard on roads and motorways and when fully wrapped the messages can't be ignored. 

• Truck Sides - our advertisers love the huge branding potential of truck sides, its impressive size is equivalent to a 96 sheet billboard in many cases. 3D graphics can make your artwork pop out of the truck and attract attention to your brand. Truck side adverts are seen by drivers, passengers and people at the side of a road. 

• Truck Rears - it’s hard to beat the dwell time offered by a truck rear advertising campaign - it is 48 seconds on average! Imagine a busy main road, following a truck with your advert on, that’s the power of truck advertising; the inability of the audience to look away as they have to look ahead to drive! It's an ad you can't escape.

What Are The Costs for Truck Advertising?

The costs for truck advertising varies depending on a number of factors, these are mainly: 

• Size of the vehicle (which therefore affects the size of the advert) - a bigger advert is more expensive to design, print and install, obviously a large lorry is going to be more expensive than a smaller truck. 

• Length of the cycle - how long you want the advert to be on the side of the trick for? Are you looking for a few weeks or something more long-term?

• Mileage and coverage that the vehicle will cover. The wider the area the truck will cover can increase the cost.
