Billboard Teaser Campaigns
.
What are the benefits of running teaser campaigns?
.
• They are fairly easy to set up.
• There is an opportunity to be very creative with the ads.
• They get more attention than traditional ads.
• They cause word-of-mouth advertising.
• They can be short runs that turn into longer campaigns.
• Work for digital or static billboards.
.
One example of a successful teaser campaign we had the privilege of working on was a radio station that was changing its name. The new station name is KISS. So the teaser started out with a billboard ad that showed only a Hershey’s Kiss. Later adding text and the old logo of the radio station. The campaign had people taking photos of the billboard and posting them on social media. Some curious individuals even called the billboard company asking for more information. The big reveal was a billboard ad the old station name with “IS NOW KISS”.
