What is Interactive Billboard?

There really seems to be no limit when it comes to out-of-home advertising. True to its name, interactive billboards allow interaction between the ads display and their audience, be it scanning a QR code with your mobile or simply walking under an ads to light it up. The ads are often innovatively planned to really catch audiences’ attention, make it memorable and somehow leave a higher impact on purchase intent.

The Benefits of Interactive Ads

According to Mobvista, interactive ads are found to be 47% more effective compared to non-interactive ads in terms of time viewing. This will benefit brands as it increases brand awareness and brand recall which further delivers a higher conversion rate that turns views into action.

Simply put, interactive advertisement works well because it creates higher levels of engagement thus, better brand recall and conversion rate.
