You Don't Have To Be An Established Agency To Be Successful With LED Screens

Before going on holiday in the next few weeks, I'd like to answer some interesting questions that I received via the yellow note on the right menu. Here is the first one: "I was looking at the internet and most outdoor advertising agencies have not just LED video walls but also paper billboards and similar stuff. And some people are saying that you can't advertise only with LED screens you also need another kind of advertising (like I said before, paper billboards and similar). So how much truth is here? Is that true that you can't just have LED billboards and you also need another type of advertising?"

This is a very interesting question which contains some truth but that also need some further explanation.

To start, my esteem is that about 60% of our Customers run the LED screen only, without any complementary service (as billboards etc). For such companies the LED screen represents their main asset (if not the only one).

But there are two main kinds of companies installing a LED screen: (1) newly established companies as the ones mentioned above, entering the business thanks to the LED screen and (2) long established advertising businesses that already have paper-billboard, tri-vision etc, but that want to provide a larger selection to its current advertisers.

To this second category belong Radios and Magazines: they usually already have a huge list of advertisers, so they implement the LED screen as a complementary service to the radio and print ads.
 
So to answer your question: it is not true that you can't just have the LED screen, because that's what most of our current Customers' do.

But it is true that if you already are in the business (i.e. advertising companies, radios, magazines), then you are likely to have a list of much targeted Customers that already invest in advertising and that (most important) already trust you. And this represents a key advantage towards new competitors.

Now, if you are not a well-known advertising agency (yet!) and you want to learn more about how to find advertisers for your digital billboard, then stay tuned: I am working on a series of posts to be published in the next few weeks about the topic.
