What the research told us
Consumers imagined they were an advertiser & estimated the cost of placing ads on various OOH formats for 2 weeks. A
benchmark figure was provided for a shopping mall 6 sheet (Index 100), then consumers attached a value for other OOH
formats (red line). Bus was perceived as a high value medium. When compared with actual ratecard costs (yellow line) the difference between Consumers’ Perceived Value & Industry
Ratecard Value is greatest for bus
• Industry depths followed by 3 stage consumer survey
• 10 GB consumer focus groups and online chat forum• Online quantitative survey of 1,162 consumers aged
16-55 from 23 GB cities and their surrounding areas
• Consumers welcome bus advertising and as such freely admit how they respond to it
• This may be a direct purchase as a result of the ad or looking for more information online
• Bus ads create word of mouth as consumers tell us that they talk to each other about them
• Consumers come into contact with bus ads throughout the day in various scenarios, moods and mindsets and as such is perceived to be a fantastic medium for product consideration and brand building
Brands will therefore benefit from this added value premium price association
Consumers were asked to rate various campaign poster and press award winning ads. Each
respondent would only rate the ad on one format but we discovered that the scores were very similar across all OOH formats proving that a good creative idea will work on all outdoor
• In the industry depth interviews there was a consensus that bus was very appropriate for specific product categories such as films or high street retail but some categories were perhaps not as suitable
• Consumers overwhelmingly believed that bus was extremely appropriate for a very wide range of product categories/brands and could rationalise why
– Food ads for reaching them at different times of day in places they can act on
– Quirky brands as bus was seen as a fun medium– New products or brand launches as bus is seen by so
many people and is great for raising awareness
