In today’s world, advertising your product is equally important as manufacturing it. All your efforts of manufacturing will go in vain if you are not able to find suitable customers for it. The competition has increased manifold in every field and so, advertising has also evolved, so as to continue grabbing the attention of potential consumers. The new age advertising includes advertising in malls, advertising on airports, advertising via cinemas, etc.

Innovative advertising has changed the way products and services are advertised keeping in pace with the changing times. Shopping mall advertising has gained much importance in the recent years. Similarly, the latest trend is advertising via cinemas as it has several advantages. The large screen and powerful audio systems of the cinema halls make your ads look livelier and the message goes out loud and clear. If presented properly, an ad can become visually appealing and can leave its impact on the minds of the audience for long.

Another important advantage of cinema advertising is that you already have a captive audience ready to absorb marketing communication. They are ready to see whatever is shown on the screen as they have come with an open mind to watch a movie. Moreover, they can’t change the channel as one can do on T.V. Such an audience will offer lesser resistance to the ads. Your ad is not likely to be ignored by them and thus the motive of the ad makers is fulfilled.

All the leading cinemas generate substantial revenues via advertising. Brands have options as to which advertising partner they wish work with. Established advertising agencies like Khushi can help you join hands with all the big players for Big Cinemas advertising, PVR advertising, advertising in INOX, advertising in Fun Cinemas, etc. The impact of the message of the advertisement gets multiplied by the effect of huge canvas, high definition quality, powerful sound system and completely engaged audience of the cinema hall. The audience goes home with a convincing message about the advertised product or service.

Thus, with the changing times, innovative advertising has emerged as a new and effective way of advertising. It has many facets; advertising via cinemas is only one of them. No doubt, it is a very powerful medium for advertising but other equally powerful ones are advertising in shopping malls/ centers, airport advertising etc. So tap this vast advertising opportunity and reach out to your potential customers.

Just providing a good service or manufacturing a good product is not enough in today’s highly competitive world. One has to find the potential customers and get it sold to earn profits. This can be done with the help of advertisements but they should be compelling enough to convince the buyers to choose the displayed products/ services and not the other similar ones. The biggest challenges are to place the ads at the places with maximum footfalls and where they are more likely to captivate the buyers. Airport is one of the best places in this regard and thus, in recent years, airport advertising has acquired much importance.

Airport advertising targets the business and leisure travelers and delivers the message to them in an effective and persuasive manner. According to a recent research, an on-the-go air traveler is likely to pay 70% more attention to the airport advertisements as compared to any other kind of advertising media. Moreover, the airports witness a huge number of footfalls every day; so, the message can reach to the maximum number of people.

For promoting your brand through airport advertising, you should contact the various airport advertising agencies in India depending upon your location. We deal in airport advertising at various places like Amritsar airport advertising, Chandigarh airport advertising, Surat airport advertising etc. Airport advertising in India is growing rapidly and touching new heights of success. One of the main reasons for this is that travelers spend a good amount of time at the airports ranging from 1-2 hours. During their free time, majority of them explore the airport and thus the ads get a captive audience.

While advertising at airports, one has to take care of certain points. The ads should be strategically placed at the places where the travelers stop for a while or at the places where they are easily visible from a distance. The best locations to place the ads are the waiting areas, lobbies, VIP lounges, eating areas, arrival and departure terminals, baggage claim areas, ticketing areas, waiting lanes for taxies etc. These are the places where the travelers stop for some time and have few minutes to spend on your ad.

Thus, the airport advertising is a great way to increase the brand awareness, maintain the brand loyalty and even for encouraging the point-of-sale transactions. It gives your products a vast reach and targets the potential buyers very effectively.
