Practical Checklist for Your OOH Campaign
- Goal: sales, store traffic, leads, or brand recall.
- Formats: billboards along main roads, DOOH near shopping centers, and street furniture in high-traffic areas.
- Location: retail corridors, airports, and 1–3 km store radius zones.
- Timing: book 3–4 weeks in advance; use DOOH for last-minute offers.
- Creative: clear discounts, urgency, QR / UTM / coupon / CTA for measurement.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
- Late planning → define KPIs early and lock prime inventory ahead of time.
- Generic messages → localize by zone or time; use DOOH for contextual relevance.
- No measurement → implement UTM / QR / coupon tracking and dashboards for attribution.
- Unprepared stock → align logistics and fulfillment with campaign peaks.
