When launching an outdoor advertisement campaign there are a myriad of choices as to what advertising method to use. From simplistic bus benches and stationary billboards to taxicabs ads and posters in subways, there are several variations to choose from. Thanks to today’s technology, there are entirely new circuits of outdoor advertising available.

Ad Vehicles
These types of vehicles are mobile billboard trucks. They are stationary billboards set on wheels and attached to a cab truck. Another variety is a billboard that is placed in the center of a flatbed instead of attaching wheels to it. Either variation can be considered a highly effective means of advertising as they can be driven down any road or parked near any major event. Mobile billboard trucks usually come in 2 sizes 10’X22’ or 8’X16’.

Scrolling Trucks
These rolling billboards look like delivery van with ads on the back and either side of the truck. An advertiser has the option of using both sides and/or the back for ads. The ads are easily changed creating an incredibly effective means of advertising for companies who have a need to change their ad design frequently.

Glass Trucks
Glass trucks are also the size of large delivery vans with windows on the sides and back of the truck. The inside is empty and just waiting for the advertiser to fill. This is the perfect choice for a 3-D ad or an ad that actually uses live people in the advertisement. Innovation and creativity come into play making this an incredibly artistic use of mobile advertising.

Trailer Banners
For those who want advertising billboards that traverse wide areas then advertising on the side of a cross-country semi-truck is a good option. These take the form of banners that stretch across the entire side of the truck or smaller panels that are put together and attached to the side of a semi trailer to make one large ad.

Fleet Ads
One of the best means of advertising is a wrap ad on a fleet vehicle. This works generously for companies with quite a few vehicles on the road at the same time. By displaying the same ad on all company vehicles it is always seen and usually remembered.

Mobile Televisions
These rolling billboards are actually trucks with huge screen TVs inside them. The advertiser can display a commercial or animated campaign within/on the vehicle. This choice is very effective at shows and events where the vehicle will be parked for periods of time to be viewed by pedestrians.

Bicycle Advertisements
One of the newest advertising billboards are bike ads. The bikes have a four-wheel frame. The rider sits close to the ground maneuvering the bicycle. The ad, in an A-frame, is placed on the back of the bicycle between the two back wheels. The advantage here, is the ease with which the bicycle can maneuver through traffic or move through areas that motor vehicles are not allowed. In addition bicycles move slower than vehicles so the ads can be ready a bit easier. This is clearly a more eco-friendly option of mobile advertising thereby useful in appealing to a “green” population.

Billboard Bicycles are a really great way to promote products. From what i've been reading they are one of the most effective and cost efficient forms off advertising.
