Top 10 Industries That Benefit from OutdoorAdvertising Screens

With digital transformation reshaping our world, capturing the attention of the public is challenging as ever. While organizations are in constant hunt of exploring innovative methods to elevate their brand by advertising in the digital platforms, the traditional out of home advertising is already holding its ground with strong visibility. From billboards to transit wraps, and hoardings to pole kiosks, outdoor advertising offers brands maximum exposure in areas with high public interaction. Over the years, many industries have benefited from ooh advertising, leveraging its potential to strengthen brand presence and deliver tangible results. In this article, we will break down the top 10 sectors that benefitted from outside advertising screens. Let’s dive right in.

Automotive (Dealerships)

OOH advertising has long been the primary choice of automobile dealers for showcasing their products as it effectively captures the attention of commuters. The strategy of placing billboards displaying new automobile designs, unipoles highlighting promotional offers and pole kiosks conveying brand message near showrooms serves as a key tactic in capturing consumer interest. Many automotive ads also use
location-based targeting on roadways where in the dynamic ad content changes according to weather and time. For instance, during the rainy season, the billboard might display a creative highlighting a car’s rain-sensing wipers or all-weather tires, while during busy hours it might promote fuel efficiency for daily commutes. Major automobile brands across the globe take advantage of OOH’s ability to highlight product features ensuring their brand is constantly seen.

Outdoor Advertising Screens

Restaurants & Beverages

The F&B is another sector that finds OOH advertising highly effective. Hungry commuters often detour to a restaurant after seeing a nearby billboard which is strategically placed in their sight. Whether it is a visual of tempting fried chicken or a juicy hamburger, it drives them to take action spontaneously. On the other hand, major soft drink companies deliberately launch outdoor marketing campaigns during the hot
summer days aiming to attract thirsty consumers who come across their advertisements on billboards and transit shelters. In addition, today’s leading online food delivery applications have also joined the race for booking their spot in the busy streets, reminding those with an appetite to order their favourite dish from the comfort of home.

Travel & Hospitality

Promoting destinations has never been easier than putting them up on hoardings. With the help of ooh advertising, prominent travel and tourism companies have leveraged outdoor media to promote their holiday packages and attract travelers. By thoughtfully placing ads in transit hubs and busy city centers , they draw the attention of passengers and urge them to visit the top destinations they aim to promote.
In the hospitality sector, where customer satisfaction takes center stage, ooh advertising serves as a powerful tool as it is capable of boosting brand presence for resorts, hotels and restaurants. They roll out advertisement campaigns targeting locations where potential guests are most likely to make travel or dining decisions.

Retail & Grocery

Retailers across the globe have adopted ooh advertising as a powerful medium to stay connected with customers. By emphasizing visual appeal, it is ideal for capturing customer interest and driving business. However, they often use billboards to announce store openings, sales or new product lines to consumers residing nearby, while also placing them in other parts of the city to inform the public about new branches. In addition, present-day online shopping platforms that deliver everyday groceries have
also increasingly deployed outside advertising for promoting their services. Unlike the old days, when OOH advertising was static, the retail sector has become one of the industries that has benefited the most from outdoor advertising with the advent of digital possibilities.

Consumer Packaged Goods(CPG)

CPG products are often low-cost and fast-moving items. OOH ads like billboards, transit stations and waiting areas display these products repeatedly to the potential consumers, familiarizing the brands to the public. They are also placed adjacent to grocery stores, malls and busy streets where people stroll around, ensuring maximum visibility to the products being advertised. For instance, a fragrance brand may display a billboard showcasing a new scent near bus shelters. Commuters who see it repeatedly
are more likely to remember and purchase it the next time they visit a store. Unlike other sectors, outdoor advertising campaigns for CPG products are short-term and dynamic, constantly changing with discounts, promotions and new offerings.

Real Estate

In real estate, outdoor advertising isn’t just promotion. It is earning the trust of potential homebuyers and investors. Property developers and agents use billboards to raise local awareness, ensuring their message reaches out to the target audience in the region. By strategically placing them near construction sites and posh residential areas, they not only invite the attention of affluent audiences, but also urges them to take action. As real estate is highly dependent on trust, outdoor advertising adds credibility and elevates a
project’s appeal.

Technology, Media & Entertainment

Major tech and entertainment companies increasingly rely on OOH advertising for creating hype and reach of their product. Despite all the advertising opportunities digital platforms offer, showcasing media-related content on hoardings remains the most impactful way to make it the talk of the town. Major film production companies, recording studios, and event promotion agencies invest heavily in outdoor advertising to promote their events or upcoming movies by placing ads in malls, transit hubs and other
crowded areas.
To achieve their goal, they thoughtfully curate campaigns targeting specific audiences based on their age, region and occupation. They also monitor the performance of these campaigns, analyzing footfall and audience response to change strategies and implement new approaches that improve visibility. This data-driven approach allows brands to maximize ROI while keeping campaigns relevant and engaging.

Healthcare

Advertising healthcare in public spaces requires careful balance. By strategically placing ads, healthcare is another sector that has reaped the benefits of outdoor advertising opportunities. Generally, they adopt a region-centric approach to showcase their healthcare services to the public. Their outdoor and indoor ads target elevators, residential zones and popular walking areas where people, especially seniors, interact
daily. This ensures that the healthcare company’s name is both seen and remembered. Thus, from teleconsultation awareness to specialty hospital promotions, OOH plays a key role in fostering people to engage with healthcare providers.

Finance & Banking

The one-to-many approach of outdoor advertising is ideal for companies in the financial sector. As banks are essential to the public, they benefit from outdoor advertising by promoting their services widely without using personal data. Finance companies carefully deploy advertisements in major commuting areas such as metro stations and pillars, shopping malls, airport lounges and other spots where working professionals are likely to gather. This drives potential customers to have a look at their new savings
scheme or investment plan, and prompt them to make an inquiry about its benefits and features. Despite all the latest technology and digital platforms, outdoor advertising remains the preferred marketing strategy for finance and banking enterprises to communicate their message clearly to the public.

Outdoor Advertising Screens

Education & Edtech

OOH helps educational institutions reach students, parents and working professionals who may not be active online. They curate targeted campaigns tailored to specific regions and place advertisements in high-traffic areas such as near schools, colleges, coaching centers, residential neighborhoods and transit hubs to effectively reach their intended audience. With the help of digital billboards, they can even determine when students gather at bus stations or hubs and strategically display their services during
peak hours. In a dynamic industry like education and edtech, OOH provides the perfect balance of wider exposure and targeted engagement, ensuring every message reaches its audience and every lead has the potential to convert.

Final Thoughts

Outdoor advertising screens continue to prove their relevance even with the digital boom that has occurred in the past decade. Unlike fleeting online ads, OOH guarantees visibility, presence and recall by engaging audiences in busy streets and everyday commuting spaces. From automobiles to education, inance to food, every industry finds unique ways to leverage the reach and impact of this medium. Moreover, with the integration of data into smart advertising, OOH has become not only eye-catching but also highly effective. For businesses seeking to strengthen credibility,make their brand memorable and create lasting consumer experiences, OOH remains an indispensable tool.

Top Benefits of Choosing a OOH Advertising Agency for Your Brand
"Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."— Henry Ford How an Outdoor Branding Agency Can Build Your Brand The rise of the digital era has given rise to new marketing techniques that can promote an advertising brand to a million people in just a few clicks. It has even overshadowed traditional advertising like TV ads, radio ads and so on. With the entry of social media into the market, the game has entirely changed. But there is one advertising technique which never gets old - the Out-of-home(OOH) advertising. Why It Works for You Despite the boom in digital advertising, major players in the market approach an outdoor advertising agency to get their brand featured on huge billboards at the heart of the city or at crowded areas. Here are some striking aspects of OOH advertising :  Strategic Media Tactic : Portraying your brand’s message to your target audience is crucial for all advertising techniques. Choosing the most accurate location, its time duration and the format to place the brand’s message to the public is the key aspect in strategic planning. Outdoor branding agencies rely on data analytics to have a clear picture of when and where potential customers interact in the public. For instance, it could be a bus stop where students gather in the morning hours or a shopping mall where families drop by in evenings. These companies gather information and place the suitable ads at the suitable time so that their marketing reaches the intended audience. Attractive Designs : The foundation of an effective OOH ad campaign is an eye-catching design. Unlike other designing methods that include multiple images, sentences and call to action, outdoor advertising has to be clear and precise. The captions must be short, catchy and should also convey the message effectively, whereas the images and designs used in them must be subtle yet visually appealing. Outdoor advertising agencies provide proper assistance for everything which will deliver your brand’s message in the most effective way without tampering its identity and vision. In fact they cater impactful visuals tailored specifically for large outdoor formats like billboards, transit ads, and digital screens.  Cost effectiveness : The reasonable rates that an outdoor advertising firm offers is one of the major advantages of working with them. Though they might look a bit expensive from the outside, they actually are not costly. With smart planning and expertise in the sector, they assist popular brands in the optimization of their budget without compromising the quality of the ads that are being run. In fact, they offer better service at reasonable rates, package discounts and deals that individual advertisers may not have access to. Campaign Monitoring : With the emergence of digital tools, every aspect of outdoor advertising is apparently traceable. Today's agencies have updated enough to monitor and assess campaign effectiveness with the help of technology, tools and analytics. Be it billboards or hoardings, brands have the access to real-time monitoring of the campaign that provides photographic proof of the placement, information on visibility, and estimated impressions based on footfall and traffic data.With all this data, identifying the shortfalls of the campaign and opportunities for improvement inevitably helps brands to refine their strategy. Time-Saving and Scalability : From creation to its execution, an outdoor branding agency covers every aspect of the campaign that eases the efforts for the companies to coordinate everything from negotiating placements or managing logistics independently. Even more so, their expertise and efficient methods in pulling off an effective campaign for businesses across industries guarantee that they are implemented effectively without unnecessary pauses or technical difficulties. Flexibility : Adapting to the requirements of various industries or brands is imperative. Approaching an outdoor advertising agency for marketing in multiple formats can fuel your brand value as they are flexible enough to cater to their client’s needs. Whether it is a single hoarding in a capital city or a medium size billboard, they are fully capable of meeting your expectations without delay. OOH advertising makes you look UP! When a name or a message is placed right in front, you can’t help but notice it! That is the impact of OOH advertising. Its increased visibility ensures the presence of the brand featuring in it 24/7. Imagine commuting to your office every day and consistently passing by a hoarding with an attractive message. Studies say that such repeated exposure makes it likely that the advertisement stays in your memory for weeks or even a month. Besides being an old technique, this is the main reason why major corporations still keep aside a reasonable amount for outdoor advertising.  Assessing the Influence of OOH advertising  Another key benefit of any advertising technique is its measurability. One of the common misconceptions about out-of-home (OOH) advertising is its inability to track results. But this is only a misinterpretation. With the integration of technology and data analytics into outdoor advertising, the impossible has been made possible. Here are some major digital measuring methods:   Footfall and Traffic Data : OOH agencies collaborate with data providers to collect data from various locations with the help of GPS tracking, mobile device data and location analytics to ascertain the people passing by a specific billboard or installation. This gives the brands a clear picture of potential customers and an estimate of impression. QR Code Scans : Companies often prefer including QR codes or promo codes on their billboards to check audience engagement which is the first step in converting interest into business. When users scan a QR code or visit a unique landing page, it provides measurable data that links directly back to the OOH campaign. Make your brand Unskippable with Zero Degree In this fast-paced and short content era everything comes with a SKIP button. But there is no skipping a fascinating hoarding that comes your way. Outdoor advertising offers something refreshingly constant, visually appealing and everlasting. Zero Degree is a top player in the OOH advertising in Kerala that advertises for premium brands through pillar branding, inside station branding, LED screen branding, pole kiosks, LED bus shelters, backlit bus shelters and mall branding.

Metro Marketing Magic: Why Brands Are Lining Upto Advertise with Kochi Metro
In a bustling city like Kochi, a new player is stealing the spotlight in the world of advertising: the Kochi Metro. Over the years, Kochi Metro has grown beyond being a reliable mode of transport and into a dynamic branding platform. It is visible, trusted, and deeply tied to the lives of millions inhabiting the city. Businesses from across the state are competing with each other over the many marketing avenues that Kochi Metro has opened. But what is so special about advertising with Kochi Metro?Why are businesses in a hurry to get their brand names displayed across the metro network? Once we understand the scale of things involved with Kerala’s only metro, answers to these questions and more become obvious. Let’s take a closer look at Kochi Metro and the modern out-of-home (OOH) advertising opportunities that it presents. Imagining Kochi Metro as a Brand Ambassador In advertising, it is not just about the quality of the product or service you offer – it is also about where people discover you, and whom your brand is seen alongside. These factors play a big role in shaping public perception. Companies often rope in famous personalities to serve as the face of their brands. This helps the public develop a sense of familiarity – and even trust – because the brand is represented by someone they already know and hold in high regard. People may not know much about the brand itself, but they know the celebrity, and in time, they start to associate the personality and values of one with the other. Kerala’s Favourite Public Transport Since it was the first metro rail network in Kerala, Kochi Metro was welcomed with open arms. The Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) operates Kochi Metro, Kochi Water Metro and a fleet of feeder buses and has been a godsend for the city’s public transportation system. Ridership keeps growing, new route extensions are underway, and the project continues to expand with visible momentum. Beyond its practical benefits, Kochi Metro has also built a vibrant online presence. Its social media content – especially on Instagram and Facebook – cleverly taps into popular memes, trending topics, and relatable humour. There is a personality to the firm that people engage with and enjoy It would be hard to find someone who isn’t appreciative of the positive changes the Metro has brought to Kochi and its surrounding areas. Safe to say, it enjoys a widely positive public image – something which brands can benefit from. What Makes Kochi Metro a Safe Bet As Kochi Metro began exploring new revenue streams through advertising, established out-of-home (OOH) agencies like Zero Degree stepped in with fresh ideas. Now, when your brand’s name appears on metro pillars, medians, or inside the stations, it is more than just exposure – people start associating your brand with Kochi Metro.Businesses have realized this opportunity and are competing to paint the Metro in their colours.Here is why Kochi Metro is such a powerful partner: Stable and consistent – Unlike individual celebrities, Kochi Metro follows defined regulations and public conduct Symbol of progress – It represents development, efficiency, and public welfare in Kerala Trusted and loved – Thousands rely on it every day, making it a well-respected presence in people’s lives Highly visible – Ads on the Metro grabs the attention of thousands of commuters everyday Built-in credibility – Associating with Kochi Metro signals reliability and civic relevance to the public You surely have the option to spend big on associating with a celebrity – you could ride on the wave of popularity and warmth they bring in – but one mishap by them in front of the public and you are running to your lawyers to cut ties with them. Kochi Metro does not carry that kind of baggage and in a world where perception can shift overnight, that kind of safety net is priceless. Branding Opportunities at Kochi Metro You could run an ad for your business at the movies, inside a grocery store, or put up a billboard next to that busy junction everyone hates but none of it quite compares to advertising at Kochi Metro. The ad spaces available through Zero Degree span the full stretch of the metro network. They grab the attention of not just the metro commuters but also people using the roads running parallel to the tracks. With exclusive rights to advertise on metro pillars, medians, portals, and station premises, Zero Degree makes it easy for businesses to associate with Kochi Metro.

Around 1080 metro pillars have been leased to Zero Degree, one of South India’s largest out-of-home (OOH) advertising agencies. These pillars are now available for businesses looking to claim space in the urban visual landscape. Branding on Kochi metro pillars is a powerful way to reach road commuters. With pillars spaced roughly 15 to 20 meters apart, advertisers can use repetition to register their brand in people’s memory. A series of related visuals can spark curiosity, prompting onlookers to look out for what appears on the next pillar. Metro Station Branding – Right Place, Right Time, Right Audience Between clearing the turnstile and boarding the metro train, a commuter typically spends at least five minutes at a station. People wait and look around patiently. The well-maintained infrastructure and a relative calm – compared to the rush outside – makes them more receptive to their surroundings. This creates an ideal setting for brands to communicate directly with an attentive audience. Zero Degree’s strategically placed billboards and ad panels at entry points, near ticket counters, escalators and waiting areas offer high-impact solutions for businesses looking to advertise at Kochi Metro stations. With steady footfall and repeat exposure, Kochi Metro station branding ensures your message consistently lands in front of the right eyes, again and again. Metro Station Semi Naming Rights If you have walked past the Palarivattom metro station recently, you might have noticed something new – it is now Palarivattom Eastea, wrapped in the calming blues of the popular tea brand. Through Zero Degree, businesses now have the opportunity to acquire semi naming rights to metro stations in Kochi. Benefits of Metro Station Naming Rights: Add your brand name as a suffix to an existing station Wrap the station in your brand’s colours and themes Capture the attention of both metro riders and road commuters It’s the closest you can get your brand to Kochi Metro Build a long-term, location-based brand association in people’s minds KMRL has been leasing more and more stations to the metro station branding agency, Zero Degree.
