Helpful Tips
Send Your Message
Perhaps the most successful Billboard campaign in history, McDonald's Billboards are still going as strong as ever. How many times have you stopped at a McDonalds in your life? Their billboards effectively do two things; They tell you where they are and they brand the McDonald's image. Big red billboards with dancing french fries, golden arches and directions to their nearest location. The message is sent quickly and effectively, every time.
Keep It Short
Research has shown that people are most likely to recall billboard advertisements that have seven words or less. And you want to make sure that those seven words arent all in the same place. Think of it like remembering a phone number. A phone number is seven digits but those seven digits are always broken up by a dash. This helps us remember them by grouping them in threes and fours. Do the same thing with your billboard advertisement. A long seven word message is probably not your best bet. Send your message quickly and get out of there. If you brand your image well through the use of contrasting colors and memorable images, you may not even need the words eventually. But even if you're giving directions to a local restaurant, keeping it short still applies. "Next Exit, turn left". Keep it short. You want the message to sink in.
