DOOH (Digital out of home) advertising has replaced the traditional paper, & radio advertisements with digital screens.Atlas Virtual Media places their screens indoors in high traffic venues where larger groups of people gather to enjoy the benefits of commerce opening up.
The average person is experiencing Screen Burnout from being on their devices more during restrictions and self quarantined during the pandemic. Most cities were virtual ghost towns during the height of the pandemic. As the public is getting out of their houses into the community, this offers the business owner a fabulous growth opportunity to reach more customers.

Why is OOH and DOOH so effective for Reaching Consumers?
- AVM segments the population and target audience. This is called geo targeting your consumers. This is done by loading your business ad on screens where your target audience works, plays, and dines, generally within a 3-5 mile radius. We call this “zones” and we place 5 screens per zone of non competing businesses.
- Consumers are spending more time out of their homes as restrictions ease up and the economy begins to heat back up. People are excited to get out of the house and cycle, run, shop, dine and exercise. This encourages more interaction in local businesses where indoor billboards are placed. Your message is being viewed 4x per hour. According to Neilsen, “Of these, 65% will visit your premises immediately and 92% will make a purchase whilst there”.
- Consumers are burnt out of online socializing and communication. People see the online ads as intrusive. People have spent the better part of 18 mos indoors working, playing and socializing online. The offer to explore outdoors in any capacity is exciting and rewarding. People are tired of online ads and are now turning them off, minimizing them and blocking them. Indoor billboard advertisements cannot be turned off or ignored.
- Understanding the basics of OOH Marketing will yield great results in growing your customer base.
