Airport Advertising – Alive and Kicking

“Everything is eventually replaced by the new”, is how the saying goes. Airport Advertising, to the delight of the Airport Advertising Agencies, seems to be immune to this statement. If the Indian Airports are taken as a case of study, what was started by TDI International India P Limited in 1986 still remains popular after 27 years. Major brands continue to reap the benefits of Airport Advertising in India.

Airport Advertising’s status as the king of OOH Advertising was recently reiterated one more time when Apple launched its iPhone 5s campaigns at the Indian Airports. The provided images are from Chennai International Airport where the Totems, Frontlits, and Backlits declared the arrival of the latest iPhone. Travelers waiting at the Airports are in a leisurely mood and thus the Airport Ads enjoy premium viewership time.


Airport Advertising Agencies in India tackled the competition from the new forms of advertising with innovation and high impact ads. For example, the larger than life Totems, placed right at the center of the waiting lounge, form an imposing the presence, making it impossible for the audience to escape its impact. Through such innovations and through happy clients like Apple, Airport Advertising India not only survives into the age of online advertising, but is alive and kicking.

Think OOH – Think Airport Advertising




OOH, Out of Home Advertising,Outdoor Ads, Ads at Airports
If increase of revenue through increased awareness is on your agenda, OOH or Out of Home Advertising is the solution. One of the oldest forms of Advertising, OOH has not only successfully survived the digital age, but continues to thrive with a few innovations here and there. Roadside Ad Hoardings and Signages continue to capture the attention of the audience. Among the many forms of Outdoor Advertising, Airport Advertising rules the roost. Since the airports are places where high and middle wage earners are found at the same place, they provide highly sought after sites for advertisements. Airport Advertisements also have very high dwelling periods which increase the scope of the Ads.

The near extinction of monopoly from almost all the markets have resulted in a vast number of players in any given field. One of the most important things that are different about the successful companies is their brand value. Thus, presentation before the consumers is of utmost importance. Airport Ads not only provide excellent advertising sites but also but also an affluent audience that doesn’t mind paying big for the latest products. The Billboard Displays, Digital Displays and Pillar Wraps capture the attention of the viewers with a larger than life image of the brand. This attention is then transformed into interest by the attractively colored and interestingly written ad copies. One of biggest advantages which Airport Ads have over the other Outdoor Ads is that it does not suffer from the handicap of dealing with a moving audience. The ads are well placed in the areas which are used by the travelers during the long waiting periods. This leaves the ads with ample time to convince the audience of the benefits of the products or services. The average viewing time of Ads at Airports is much higher than any of the other forms.

Hence, if you are introducing a new business or planning to increase the impact of your brand, think OOH and opt for Airport Advertising. Leading Airport Advertising Agencies like TDI International India P Limited provide excellent Airport Advertising Services. Their prompt implementation and efficient understanding of client requirements ensure total value for your money. Visit them at http://tdiindia.com/airports.htm.

Metro Advertising India Growing in Popularity



Ever since DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) began operations on December 24, 2002, the way commuters in the NCR traveled has never been the same. The thirteenth largest metro station in the world (in terms of length) offers excellent opportunities for OOH Advertising (Out-of-Home Advertising). DMRC’s potential as an advertising goldmine was realized by Indian OOH giants like TDI International India P Limited as early as 2005. With a daily ridership exceeding 20 lakh, Delhi Metro Advertising has a high viewership. The rapid rate at which DMRC has grown and the popularity of the Metro Station Ads show a promising future for Advertising at the Metro Stations.

It has been found that using mobile phones and reading ads figure among the top ways how commuters passed their time at the stations. High concentration zones and superior visibility feature among the prominent reasons for the popularity and success of the Ads at the Metro Stations. Due to the structure of the metro stations, the ads can be conveniently placed in such ways that the commuters cannot miss them. And this viewership is not just any viewership that we are talking about. According to a recent survey taken by the Times of India, around 62.5% of the total metro ridership that took part were office-going professionals and students. For most of the brands, they form the most prized audience. The earning members with the power to buy and the young generation with the affinity to buy, added with a minimum of 6 minutes which they spend at the metro station, combine to make Metro Advertising one of the most sought after forms of advertising. Thus, advertisement contracts for sites outside the metro stations, on the platforms, at the staircases / elevators, and at the entrances and exits of the stations sell out faster than hot cakes.

Another factor which aids in the popularity of DMRC Advertising is that it is a long term investment. With the corporation expanding at phenomenal speeds, the ridership and thus the viewership is also set to increase. It is expected that the average ridership of Delhi Metro will cross 40 lakhs by 2016 with a CAGR (Combined Annual Growth Rate) of 20.1%. Associate with a top DMRC Advertising Agency like TDI to turn the gaze of this fast growing audience towards your brand.
