Bus and Tram Advertising: Ideal for Brand Recall

Bus and tram advertising is ideal for making your brand memorable to the public and creating a preference for your products among consumers. The daily use of transport networks and the high frequency of bus passages lead to strong repetition of your advertising message to your target audience, resulting in high brand recall. According to Média Transport:

• Prado roundabout in Marseille and Esquirol Square in Toulouse see a bus pass every 40 seconds;
• Lille Flandres Station sees a bus pass every 60 seconds;
• Republic Square in Rennes sees a bus pass every 80 seconds.

Bus and Tram Advertising is Among the Most Cost-Effective Formats

Moreover, bus and tram advertising networks are generally among the most cost-effective in terms of cost per face. Rates range from €40 to €50 per face, compared to €40 to €200 for other formats.

Different Bus Advertising Placements:

• Left Side of the Bus: The left side of a bus allows for long advertisements and targets drivers and pedestrians.
• Right Side of the Bus: A smaller advertising space than the left side. Advertisements on the right side of the bus are mainly visible to pedestrians.
• Rear of the Bus: The rear panel of a bus offers wide visibility. It is equally visible to pedestrians and cars behind the bus. City streets are often narrow with no passing allowed, giving drivers ample time to read and remember bus ads.
