Going BIG and BOLD: The Benefits of Large Format Advertising

Make a big impact in today’s competitive marketplace!

In a world of ever-shrinking attention spans and overwhelming amounts of advertising, sometimes going BIG is the only way to get your message across. Large format advertising is a great way to do just that. With its ability to command attention and create a lasting impression, this form of advertising is increasingly becoming a popular way to reach consumers.

What is large format advertising?

Large format advertising is a large-scale advertisement of a brand that uses graphics or images. These graphics or images are print or digital designs, typically displayed in public areas and places with vast traffic, such as highways and major city roads. Large format advertising is an effective way to grab attention and communicate a message quickly and easily.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to using large format advertising to showcase your brand. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it can reach a larger audience. This is especially true for outdoor advertising such as yard signs, billboards, and vehicles, which can be seen by drivers and pedestrians alike. Unlike other traditional advertising methods, large format advertising:

  1. Have a huge visual impact. More effective at getting people’s attention because its big graphics are visually stimulating, and can be seen from a distance.
  2. Is cost-effective. Forget high prices and large quantities, large format printing does not require large orders.
  3. Has longevity. No more faded posters or trashed flyers, large formats have longer “shelf-life”, so you get to put them up and keep them up

 

…just to name a few.
