5 main trends in outdoor advertising placement
Trend 1: Programmed digital outdoor has become a new choice for advertising
The technology and ecology of programmatic outdoor advertising (prDOOH) are becoming mature, and compared to traditional outdoor advertising, it has two prominent advantages:
Firstly, the advertising threshold is low and the advertising is flexible: the CPM pricing method reduces the threshold for advertisers to enter outdoor advertising, and small and medium-sized budgets can also purchase specific locations through bidding for precise advertising;
The second is precise targeting and decision-making: Advertisers can achieve accurate audience positioning based on real-time data and user attributes, such as geographic location, interests, consumption behavior, and other factors, to accurately deliver advertising content to the most potential audience groups, reduce waste, and precision is also the main reason for advertisers to try prDOOH.

Trend 2: Strong visual impact creativity, enhance exposure effect
The contribution of creativity to sales is as high as 52%. Outdoor building cognition and brand building, good creative effects are more shocking and can deepen memory.
For example, naked eye 3D advertisements on outdoor large screens in core business districts have strong visual impact and can attract a large number of consumers to stop and take photos, with stronger reach and touch power compared to ordinary 2D flat advertisements; In addition, large-scale device advertisements can often bring similar effects of "high-profile attention", especially interesting interactive devices that can become places for consumers to check in and take photos, driving online discussions and offline interactions, such as vivo's giant mobile phone device on the North Bund and LV's giant Speedy handbag.

Trend 3: Scene based advertising, mobilizing consumers' five senses marketing
Graphic and video creativity can only stimulate visual perception, while outdoor advertising can also present brand propositions and product performance more authentically through scene based design. It can also enhance perception and create a more immersive interactive experience by combining touch, hearing, and other five senses.
For example, the physical exhibition booth set up by Meizhiyuan in the Shanghai subway and the photo interactive umbrella design of the Industrial Bank Umbrella Campaign can enhance the presence of advertisements, attract consumers' attention, and strengthen brand/product perception.
