Advertising on taxis takes your message to a large audience

Today, everyone seems to be trying to capture the consumer's attention with creative marketing efforts. Have you considered putting your advertising campaign on a fleet of taxis, asks Cullan F. Meathe of Peninsula Transportation Group, LLC. Whether the messages are on cabs' rooftop signs, or wrapped on door panels, they will be seen by passing drivers and passengers, and by pedestrians walking by the side of the road or waiting at traffic lights.

If you are looking to spread the word, taxi advertising allows for 24/7 exposure of your message throughout the cab company's territory and enables you to deliver it to a potentially huge audience, explains Meathe. It is a simple, cost-effective method of enhancing brand awareness while helping you stay within your budget.

It is estimated that your message will be seen 10 times each mile, or approximately 3,000 times per day. Some taxicab companies have backlit systems that make the roof signs stand out, even at night. Taxis cover a huge area, so your potential customers will be exposed to your ad no matter where they might be – downtown, at airports, sporting events, shopping malls, hotels, in neighborhoods, on surface streets and on freeways. Unlike other types of outdoor advertising like billboards, these are presented at eye level. The fleet of taxicabs will present your message where your audience will see it.

This form of advertising is presented to consumers who are out-and-about. As increasing numbers of people are turning to taxis as a convenient and cost-effective means of transportation to downtown areas and airports, they are more likely to view the message.

Most ground transportation companies are competitive and have discounted rates depending upon how long you wish to advertise.

Who should advertise on taxis? Any business or organization wishing to increase awareness of a product or service can benefit from this type of marketing outreach. Tailoring the message to a broad audience is key to its effectiveness. Keep in mind that the simpler the better, so don't include a lot of unnecessary information. You want consumers to remember the name of the business, what is the particular product or service, and how to contact you. They can learn more about you by visiting your website, calling your office, or emailing you.

Some companies also carry advertising inside the taxis. Imagine how long the passengers see that message, particularly if there is traffic congestion! Some companies even allow their taxi cab drivers to hand out your promotional materials to their passengers.
