Station advertising

Station advertising refers to the advertising displays located inside train or metro stations. It is a highly effective medium because people spend a lot of time there while waiting for their transport. With more than 10 million travelers every day, stations allow brands to reach a very large audience. Since passengers often see the same posters during their daily commutes, they remember them better. To find out more about station panels and rates, request a quote for the display of your choice.

Why advertise in train stations?

Train stations are highly strategic locations for brands for two main reasons:

  • Dwell time: On average, travelers spend 40 minutes in transit and stations. This is a time when they are available to look at the posters around them.
  • Reach: It is an ideal medium for national campaigns (to reach all of France) but also local ones (to attract customers to a shop right next to the station).

What advertising formats can be found in stations?

You can display your messages in different ways depending on your needs:

Classic display:

  • 2m²: These are the standard panels located in corridors or on platforms, often backlit for eye-level visibility.

Large format display

  • 4x3 Panels: These are the very large billboards often seen on the platforms.
  • XXL Tarpaulins: These are giant posters that can cover an entire wall or a station facade.

Digital advertising (DOOH)

These are LED screens found:

  • On station platforms
  • In large entrance halls
  • They allow for the broadcasting of short videos or moving images

Station wrapping and experiential

  • Station wrapping: Pillars, escalators, or entire walls can be covered with advertising visuals.
  • Experiential setups: This allows for the installation of stands or giant objects in the hall to surprise travelers.

How much does advertising in a station cost?

The price is not fixed; it depends on several criteria:

  1. Duration: Is it for a week or a month?
  2. Traffic: The busier the station, the higher the rate may be.
  3. Location: A poster in the main hall costs more than one at the end of a platform.
  4. Format: A full wrapping in the station hall generally costs more than a 2m² advertising panel in a corridor.

It changes according to the duration of your campaign, the number of people passing through the station, the exact location, and the size of the chosen panel.
