Make Out-of-Home Advertisements Conversational

With a plethora of advertising options in place today, the outdoor advertising industry has also evolved. So why do you need to make your out-of-home (OOH) advertisements conversational in the first place?

Outdoor or OOH advertising has many challenges owing to its static one-way natured ads. One-way communication between ad and user lacks personalization and creative aspects for specific users. Therefore there are limited inquiries, and a small percentage of viewers call a phone number when they see an OOH ad. There is always pressure to justify ROI with uncertain economic scenarios. So by making your outdoor advertising more conversational, you can engage with viewers in a better way and induce sales in different ways. One way is simply using a QR Code Generator to add a QR code linked to your website, socials, etc, thereby allowing potential customers to engage with your brand as soon as they see your ad. 

Gupshup’s conversational OOH advertising can convert any advertising surface into a conversational interface with GIP, a messaging channel that enables rich and advanced conversational experiences. We help make any digital or physical advertising surface a conversation starter with QR codes or URLs – be it a website or a storefront, a billboard, product package, or digital ad. Scanning a QR code can lead to a signup page or any landing page of a website. Some more use cases include:

• Enabling direct dialing of your business number
• Helping book an appointment
• Enabling lead capture or fast account creation
• Viewers can send an email
• Viewers will be directed towards the app download page
• Enabling store navigation, which will help in driving more store footfall
• Directing viewers to social media pages to increase likes and followers
• Directing prospects to shopping and e-commerce pages
• Directing prospects to support and FAQ pages
