Sidewalk Media provides affordable, high-quality real estate advertising

Types of Sidewalk Media

Sidewalk Media provides affordable, high-quality real estate advertising. You may choose the busiest streets in each city, and there is no more “rent” required for these sites. Put your advertisements outside of events reaching your target audience, in front of places specifically catering to that audience, or in areas where that audience lives, works, and plays.

Using this strategy, you may reach your audience at odd hours and locations and give them a “surprise element” that eludes “ad blocking” software. In order to capitalize on the pleasant emotions connected with these events, you may also position advertisements outside of trade exhibitions, concerts, or sports events.

Sidewalk stencils: Sidewalk stencils measure 24″ × 24″ and are installed clandestinely. To get the greatest effects and ensure longevity, chalk stencils shouldn’t be put on wet or snowy surfaces. Each chalk stencil is one color, and removal is not included in the price. Three weeks pass between steps.

Water stencils: Water stenciling blasts letters into sidewalk grit using high-pressure power washers and sturdy stencils (usually 2′ x 2′). This makes a very noticeable “clean” region that surprises and draws attention. The water stencil pictures remain until the newly cleaned area is just as grubby as the adjacent sidewalk. This can take weeks or months, depending on the region!

Sidewalk decals: Slogans, logos, and four-color graphics are shown on the pavement by way of vibrant and eye-catching sidewalk decals. These non-slip vinyl are placed in visible locations on the floor or pathways to increase impressions. These are normally 2′ x 2′ and provide a great way to distribute your message.

Sticker Bombing: Stickers are placed in key areas all over the urban environment to create a clandestine presence. These might be placed on light poles, construction sites, phone booths, and other buildings. We offer three sizes: 3″ round, 2.5″ x 2.5″ square, and 2″ x 3″ rectangle.

Ideas on Tracking your Sidewalk Media Campaigns

While it might be a little harder to track sidewalk stencils than it is to track more conventional types of advertising, Sidewalk Stencils: Maximizing ROI with Impact can still be measured through a variety of methods. These are several techniques for finding sidewalk stencils:

Geotagging: Using geotagging technology is one method of tracking sidewalk stencils. You may keep track of how many people pass by or interact with your stencil by marking its position with GPS information.

Internet Analytics: You may use online analytics tools to monitor the performance of your sidewalk stencil. You could, for example, make a landing page or hashtag just for your stencil and keep track of how many people visit, click, and buy.

Surveying: Speaking with those who use the sidewalk stencils may be another approach to monitoring their whereabouts. This could help you get feedback on how well your stencil works and learn more about the people you want to reach.

Sales or traffic data: Analyzing sales or traffic data before and after the stencil is put in place will allow you to monitor the efficacy of your sidewalk stencil. This could help you figure out if the stencil campaign led to more people walking by or more sales.

Ultimately, evaluating the efficacy of sidewalk stencils calls for innovation and a multifaceted strategy. By combining these techniques, you may learn a lot about the effectiveness of your sidewalk stencil campaign and use this information to influence future advertising choices.

Here are a few outstanding sidewalk media campaign examples:

Coca-Cola: Swedish Coca-Cola launched a sidewalk stencil campaign in 2016 dubbed “Refresh the Streets.” The project included painting sidewalks with stencils that revealed hidden messages when it rained. The “Open Happiness” and “Refresh Your Mind” stencils were created to brighten people’s days when it rained.

National Geographic: In 2018, National Geographic in Australia started the “Planet or Plastic?” sidewalk stencil campaign. In order to make people more aware of plastic pollution in the ocean, the initiative had people spray-paint stencils of aquatic animals on city streets. Whose side are you on? A call to action to decrease plastic use was written on the stencils.

Nike: In New York City, “Just Do It HQ,” a sidewalk stencil campaign by Nike, was introduced in 2019. As part of the campaign, slogans and logos for Nike were stenciled on the streets near the company’s office. The stencils were made to encourage people to work hard to reach their goals and live full, active lives.

The City of Toronto: The City of Toronto started its “Be Safe, Keep Separate” sidewalk stencil campaign in 2020. To encourage people to keep a physical distance during the COVID-19 outbreak, stencils were painted on sidewalks across the city as part of the campaign. A social media campaign and other messaging initiatives to promote public health and safety were run in conjunction with the stencils.

In the end, Sidewalk Stencils: Maximizing ROI with Impact shows how sidewalk media campaigns can be a very effective way to engage people and spread the word about goods, services, or social issues. By using creative designs and messaging, these campaigns can leave a lasting impression on consumers and spark conversations about the business or message being promoted.
