IndoorBillboards

Indoor Billboards is a proven, affordable, effective advertising medium that is presented in a personal setting to a captive audience while they are idle and welcome something to read to occupy their mind.

75% of restaurant patrons use the restrooms during their visit. The average bar or nightclub customer uses the restroom 3 times (resulting in multiple views per customer).

Top 10 Reasons to Advertise with Indoor Billboards

1. Up close & personal: Your ad is strategically placed where it is virtually impossible to ignore. And because your message is presented in such a private setting, it is received on a much more personal level...creating familiarity and trust.

2. Captive audience: You have at least 1-4 full minutes of your prospective customer’s attention while they are physically idle, yet mentally engaged (without interruptions or distractions). Compare that with the mere 3-5 seconds spent glancing at the average print ad.

3. High viewer recall: Because you have the viewer’s undivided attention for an extended period of time, and because your message is presented in such a unique and personal way, it is remembered for days...even weeks later.

4. Relieves an otherwise boring situation: Indoor Billboards catches your audience at a time when they welcome something to read to occupy their mind, instead of just staring at a blank wall.

6. Target your desired audience: You can target your message to reach specific demographics such as gender, income, lifestyle, and age. As a result, you spend less of your advertising dollar and still reach a much higher percentage of your desired target market.

7. Reach an untapped demographic: We reach people that tend to have a higher than average disposable income. They generally lead a more active lifestyle, and they are often harder to reach with conventional types of advertising like TV, newspapers, etc.

8. Less clutter to compete with: Compare Indoor Billboards with the clutter in newspapers, want ad papers, magazines, and on the internet. And with radio and TV, it’s one ad after another that just vanish into thin air. Even with outdoor advertising, your mes-sage is diluted with scores of other signs, utility poles, traffic, etc.

9. Great way to introduce yourself: You can expect noticeable improvements in name and brand recognition as well as product or service awareness among your target audience. Potential customers will choose you over your competition because they feel comfortable and familiar with you.

10. Full color advertising: We offer full color advertising for no extra charge. Your message will have the visual impact that most black & white or spot color advertisements can’t achieve.

Media Quotes“If you went to the r e s t r o o m t h r e e times, you’d read it again and again. Not only can indoor billboards reach a very discerning cus-

tomer, but they’ve got that customer’s undivided attention.” - Inc.

“Talk about your captive audience. Your attention is riveted directly on the space in front of you. People indeed read the ads thoroughly. Restroom advertising is naturally an effective medium for target-ing strictly male or female audiences.”

- Adweek

“The ads reach the audience most cov-eted by advertisers: 21 to 35-year-olds who like to go out and spend money. Restroom ads also allow companies to target a gender with 100% accuracy.”

- Fortune Magazine

“What a perfect place for an ad.” - Houston Chronicle

“Now Madison Avenue has invaded the restroom. It’s surprising nobody has thought of it before.” - Newsweek

“In this first measurement of restroom advertising, interestingly, more people claim to have been exposed to restroom advertising than radio!” - Strategy Magazine

“This was the only place in the world people would stand in line to read advertising. A study by Rice University shows that the amount of time readers focus on the bathroom advertisements is about a minute and a half for men and two minutes for women. You’ve got their undivided attention for a period of time.” - The Boston Globe

“People are looking for something new that’s targeted and attention-grabbing. This is the way to do it.”

- The Wall Street Journal

“ Imagine people standing in line to read your message. Picture almost total viewer recall.”

- PensacolaNews Journal

Frequently Asked QuestionsCan I just get one or two ads for a month to test it out? Sorry, no. We are all about branding, and that takes time and repetition. And it goes without saying,the more ads you get, the better your exposure.

What is the least amount of time that I can advertise with Indoor Billboards? For special events like 5k runs, festivals, concerts, PSAs, etc., we have a two month minimum. If you are advertising your products or services, we have a 6 month minimum.

What is the minimum amount of ads that I can get? Our minimum is 10 ad spaces per month, but most of our advertisers realize the advantage of market saturation, so they opt for many more than that.

Do I have to create my ad, or do you have someone to do it?That’s totally up to you. If you feel artistic or creative, you’re more than welcome to do it yourself. If creating an ad isn’t your thing, we’ll be glad to design your initial ad for you for no extra charge.

Can I choose where my ads are placed?Yes. And if you decide later on that you want to move a few of them to different locations, you can do that too. Just let us know by the 15th of the month prior to the desired change, and we’ll take care of it (assuming, of course, that there is space available in the venue that you requested). Ad spaces are available on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. We also offer ‘random’ placement (where we choose your locations) for a 10% discount. You can still choose the gender with random placement.

If I want an ad in both the Men’s and the Women’s rooms in a particular location, is that considered 2 ad spaces?Yes. Whenever we set aside a space on a billboard for you, it is considered ‘one ad space.’ If you choose the ‘Men’ and the ‘Women’ in a given venue, we have to reserve spaces on 2 billboards for you, so that would be considered 2 ad spaces for billing purposes.

What do you need from me (to put my ad together)?You will need to provide us with 3 key elements: a clean copy of your logo, a graphic image (picture or photograph), and the information that you want to convey on your ad. We require 300 dpi or 3 megapixel (minimum) digital image(s) for all graphics. See the rate sheet for details.

Can Indoor Billboards reach my target market?Yes. With Indoor Billboards, you can narrow your focus to a specific gender, income, lifestyle, and age. As a result, you spend less money and still reach a higher percentage of your desired target market.

What kind of response can I expect and how can I test it?We can’t tell you how many people will respond to a particular ad. A lot of the response depends on the need for your product or service. You can expect noticeable improvements in name and brand recognition as well as product or service awareness among your target audience. Also, Indoor Billboards will enhance the effectiveness of any other advertising that you are doing.In our experience, the best way to track the response from your Indoor Billboards advertising is to ask your customers how they heard about you. Many will tell you directly that they saw your ad on Indoor Billboards. Others will say they found you online or in the telephone book. Ask them why they chose you above all the others. Usually it’s because they’ve repeatedly seen your ad on Indoor Billboards.You will also receive a laminated copy of your ad. Many advertisers post their laminated copy in a prominent location in their place of business. When a customer comments that they’ve seen the ad, you know that your Indoor Billboards advertising is working.Finally, you might want to offer a discount or special to anyone who mentions seeing your Indoor Billboards advertisement. As long as you make your offer enticing enough, people will mention it.

Do you suggest that I only have my ads placed in locations near my place of business?Not necessarily. People come from far and wide to go to Pensacola Beach (for example). The fact is, popular places attract patrons from all over. So even if your ad is in a popular venue across town, it’s a pretty good bet that potential customers from your area will be there.

Do you offer an agency discount?We extend the standard 15% agency commission to all recognized advertising agencies with a contracted ad buy of 50 ad spaces or more for a 6 month minimum run.

Will it diminish my brand to advertise in restrooms? Absolutely not. When surveyed, 98% expressed a favorable opinion of restroom advertising. Successful companies like Taco Bell, Yelp, Verizon, Uber, Sony, Unilever, Nintendo, Budweiser, State Farm, Miller Brewing, Axe, Volkswagen and BMW (to name just a few) take advantage of the benefits of restroom advertising.

What is the cost per thousand impressions (CPM)? With so many changing variables to consider for each venue, it just didn’t make sense to commission anyone to study it. Plus, we would have to pass that cost on to our customers. Instead, we just did some simple math. As an example, if you are spending $15 per month for an ad space, that amounts to 50¢ a day. If only 50 people a day see that ad, that’s a penny per view for a targeted audience that gives your message 1-4 minutes (average) of their undivided attention. At that rate, the CPM is $10.00. Of course, every venue is different, and the numbers vary depending on multiple factors.

How can my venue become an Indoor Billboards host location? If your venue has high traffic and clean restrooms, you probably qualify. It doesn’t cost you a penny...just a little wall space. Contact us to learn how becoming an Indoor Billboards host venue will benefit you.
