Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are continually looking for innovative ways to grow sales and raise brand awareness. Out-of-home (OOH) advertising is an effective way for CPG brands to reach consumers and grow sales. By placing ads in strategic locations, brands can ensure that a wide audience sees their message. Our own Sneh Parmar sat down with Adgile Media Group Co-Founder and President, Max Flannery, to discuss how brands can use OOH advertising to scale retail sales.

DTC Brands Looking to Appear Bigger

• Some companies are trying to get into retail in order to look larger than they are.
• These companies believe that having a store or some real-world presence will lift the entire brand.
• However, many brands do not have the capital to get into retail stores or open their own stores.
• Brands are looking for alternative ways to advertise their products other than digital platforms.
• Brands can use out-of-home advertising to reach new customers.
• According to one study, 26% of customers have visited a store after seeing an OOH advertisement.
  

Out-of-Home Advertising to Scale Retail Sales

• Brands can use out-of-home advertising that is strategically placed to provoke curiosity and prompt people to look into the product more.
• Using wrapping on last-mile-delivery trucks is an effective way for companies to utilize OOH advertising.
• This strategy helps brands stand out from the competition with a unique and differentiated retail strategy.
• Brands can gain an advantage over competitors by appearing larger and more established.

"They think it's moving all this product. They think it houses brands so successful that, I didn't know all my neighbors must be using it. What am I missing out on? Let me try." - Flannery."

Using Targeted Trucks

• Trucks travel to close proximity of desired retail locations, which helps increase sales at retail locations.
• By using targeted marketing campaigns, businesses can reach new customer segments and promote special deals and discounts.
• Geofencing allows for pinpoint accuracy in advertising and marketing efforts.

"And there's a CPG brand that is launching across multiple bodegas. Or let's say some of the mass market retailers. And they really want to drive that traffic and sales. And that's a great way to do so." - Parmer

• This validation in the customer's mind increases the likelihood of them buying directly from the brand or purchasing the product at retail.
  

Not Just for CPG Brands

• Other brands outside of CPG are willing to try this form of advertising.
• Companies from various industries can find value in using a truck as an advertisement platform, as it is more efficient and cost-effective than other methods.
• The truck is already on the road, so there is no extra overhead or expenses needed to get started.

"So even brands that aren't CPG are willing to give it a shot just to get their brand out there." - Flannery
