BRT BUS ADVERTISING
Advertisers are constantly seeking new avenues to effectively reach their target audiences with the aim of realizing customer retention, brand visibility and a complete 360 degrees confidence-build in the minds of their customers using lesser resources to achieve more. The traditional advertising methods available are losing their effectiveness; hence, there is a need to increase the channels by which consumers are reached even so in a strategic pitch.
As at today, the most widely used means of transportation in Nigeria is the road transportation. Statistics show that an average of over 11 million people in Lagos alone spend well over 5 hours of their functional hours on the road.
Other than football which serves as a common ground for all Nigerians, there is a characteristic trend in the buying nature of Nigerians. The characteristic buying behaviour of an average consumer in Nigeria is: buy on impulse, buy on sentiments, and Buy! Buy!! Buy!!! In other words, Nigerians are led by what they see; the more your brand or product is perceived visually, the greater the consumer uptake. The behavioral hold on buying stems from the urban zones influencing the semi-urban and eventually the rural. Marketing precedence shows that if a product captures Lagos, then it has captured Nigeria.
