Young men 18-34, elusive to TV advertisers, have huge
exposure to outdoor media. With TV viewing levels dropping
among young men, outdoor and out-of-home can supplement the
media plan. The average consumer spends 15 hours a week in
car while men 18-34 spend an astonishing 20 hours per week
in car; a 33% increase. Men 18-34 clock 39% more miles each
week (425 miles) versus the national average (306 miles).
In-car audiences are a vital advertising consideration in
all-sized media markets. Contrary to the perception that
only people in large cities spend significant amounts of
time in car, consumers in small and medium-sized markets
also show long commute times and time spent in vehicles.
Outdoor advertising delivers immediate results for
advertisers. Twenty-nine percent say outdoor advertising
caused them to visit a retail store within a week. The more
time spent in car, the more likely that outdoor advertising
motivates consumers to visit a retail store.
During the
week, men clock more time in-car than women, while both
spend equal amounts of time in-car on the weekends.
Commuter Study
According to the recently released Arbitron Commuter Study,
average U.S. Census commute time has increased 14% from 1990
(45 minutes to 51 minutes round-trip). Every one of
Arbitron’s 287 markets has experienced an increase in time
spent commuting. Not only has every market been affected,
but the greatest percentage increase in time spent commuting
is often found in the smaller and medium markets. The Arbitron Outdoor Study, 2001 Arbitron Inc.
Outdoor Media Plays a Key Role Reaching Consumers
Outdoor media plays a vital role in the media mix by
reaching consumers missed by other types of media and
enhancing the exposure of other media. Outdoor media reaches
those that are not exposed or only lightly exposed to
newspaper and local television news. Outdoor media and radio
are complementary as consumer exposure to both Outdoor and
radio grows in lock step. Source: Arbitron - In Car

This study clearly documents the significant reach of
Outdoor media. The media with the strongest reach excel at
out-of-home exposure: vehicle driver/passengers (96
percent), radio (86 percent) and pedestrian traffic (79
percent). Outdoor media reaches the entire socioeconomic
spectrum.
