11/17/2023 Optimize your media budgets

What is the OOH?

It is the most popular type of outdoor campaign. Indeed, it is a short-term campaign with a powerful impact, generally displayed over one or several weeks, with tens, hundreds or even thousands of billboards, depending on the network.

Ad agencies rates are made on a week basis.

What is it for?

For Stores, this kind of campaign gives the opportunity to promote some events and promotions according to the period of the year (Father’s & Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Black Friday, Christmas, etc.).

The OOH can also be used to raise your brand/product/service’s notoriety with a specific objective such as increasing in-store or website traffic after launching a new product or opening a new shop.

OOH rates and formats

As an example, here are three popular billboard formats with their strengths:

12m²: on the main roads around the city and the suburbs, targeting motorists.
2m²: in the heart of the city, as a traditional billboard or in the bus shelters, targeting pedestrians and people taking public transports.
8m²: hybrid format between 2m² and 12m² on the main roads near the city center, targeting motorists and pedestrians.

Find below some examples of billboards formats with their dimensions:
