From print ads of the past to modern-day 3D billboards – advertising has undergone a sea change over the recent past few years. The technological innovation that is pacing at a higher speed is reshaping the industry faster than ever before.
And, today digital out-of-home (DOOH), is taking over the traditional avenues of out-of-home (OOH) advertising. With easier implementation than traditional buying and a more automated, dynamic experience it is quickly becoming an exciting and reliable way for customer reach-out. It is now an important component of a brand’s media mix because it offers efficient process management with the ability to adjust & manage media buying, even during unexpected scenarios (the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak).
With online advertising, metrics data is considered a prominent indicator for the success of marketing campaigns. This makes it possible to connect brands to their target audiences with the right message at the right time; capturing the attention of consumers on the go.
And, while analytics play a crucial role with digital out-of-home advertising how metrics are tracked is a little different. If you’re also curious about the impact generated by data analytics in outdoor advertising but aren’t sure how and where to start, then this article is for you.
It helps connect brands with consumers across placements as they move throughout the day. The data helps identify areas with a high concentration of the brand’s target audience and how the messages are served across different avenues. This would support intercept, increase awareness, and drive consumer interest (online or in-store). And, the digital billboards advertising units include digital bulletin boards, digital signages, and digital screens installed across buildings – including gyms, restaurants, malls, and more.
Brands often struggle to measure outdoor advertising performance – how it helps convert distracted, passive audiences into paying customers. How are people connecting with the messaging? Are they noticing the ads and pausing to look at them?
Advertising companies can achieve an improved return on investment (ROI) for their marketing campaigns. It is by examining spend allocations at each phase of the advertising campaign cycle to restrict revenue leakage.
DOOH analytics can help businesses drive deeper customer engagements through relevant & actionable insights. They help increase profits in two main ways:
A full-proof campaign strategy powered by data visualization and analytics solution helps uncover hidden insights and patterns for accurate decision-making. It is by analyzing how advertising activities interact with the actions and purchases. This helps track marketing campaigns and regulate their performance at each step, influencing the peaks and dips in sales.
Hence, a holistic view of the campaign covers information such as inventory delivered, conversion rates, click-through rates, and action completion rates. These insights enable the brands to make the required adjustments in the advertising campaign in real-time.

The number of impressions that a screen gets over a given period is a critical measurement component. With DOOH, the appearance of an ad on one screen is likely to reach one-to-many mediums. Several people may be likely to look at the screen at any given moment. This would imply that one play of an ad can be counted as several impressions.
And, data collection would help determine the impression multiplier factors and number of impressions. Even though there are varied parameters for statistical analysis, for example – ticket sales would determine ad visibility, cameras & sensors integrated with the DOOH analytics platform would provide insights on view data and more.
They allow companies to create an OOH advertising strategy that would focus 100% on the tastes and preferences of the end customer who passes through each point. Further, they help marketers to understand consumer and shopper behavior in connection with their travel patterns and other demographics of where they live and work to drive outdoor media decisions.
