Although business owners might not think of aerial advertising when planning their annual advertising budget, they should.
There are many distinct advantages to using airplane advertising. In many cases, the advantage of using plane advertising over more "traditional" advertising mediums is quite significant.
When planning an advertising budget, business owners should consider the distinct advantages of using aerial advertising as a medium to get a message across. The return on the initial investment could be significant.
Some of the benefits include:
Cost savings
First, aerial advertising is cost effective. You can easily reach thousands of people in a small period of time. You don't have to assume they'll watch the commercial and not flip the channel. You can be assured that when airplane messages appear, they will look skyward and pay attention to the advertisement that's passing over.
That means there is no money wasted on advertising that won't be read or paid attention to. In fact, it's estimated that plane advertising costs about 50 cents per thousand people. No matter the deal offered by a radio station or a newspaper, it's hard to beat the return on the aerial advertising dollar. Cost effective it is.
Novelty
It's unusual and provides a break from the usual. People pay attention to aerial advertising, likely because it's not something you see often. When they are laying in the sun on the beach on a lazy July day, they look skyward when airplane messages appear.
In addition, that novelty leads to memory. That is, people remember the aerial adds they see more than they remember other types of advertising. This is partly due to the novelty â€" they stop and say "hey, look at that plane and the banner!" â€" But it's also the attention the banners garner. Studies show that people will generally watch the aerial advertising as is passes over and will continue to watch it until it disappears from sight. That's a solid block of time where the intended audience is focusing on the advertiser's message.
Non intrusive
To get the message across, advertisers who use banner towing aren't intruding on people's homes, their living room tables or their cars. They are simply providing a message that's flown over the beach, or an event or other gathering.
People don't feel as if their privacy, opinions or personal reading has been invaded. This advertising actually does something that most advertising can't do â€" provide a welcome distraction, entertainment and a novel thing to talk about.
Increase ad recall
People remember aerial advertising more than any other advertising medium. Studies have shown that when questioned, 77% of the people who had just seen airplane advertising remembered what was being advertised on the banner. Another 67% could remember what was being advertised.
These numbers are far greater than the response to other kinds of advertising like radio and print ads.
All of these benefits add up to one great benefit â€" better use of your advertising dollar and a better return on that dollar.
