How It Can Work For Your Business
Triangle Shopping Centre – Testimonial
“Bus advertising has helped increase footfall and brought shoppers into the centre. Outdoor outperformed all the other media, including TV and radio, with over half of people remembering the ads that we had run on Buses. As far as our shopping centre was concerned, Bus advertising hit our campaign objective and succeeded in raising Triangle’s profile in Manchester. Buses also gave the shopping centre a competitive advantage over other Manchester retail locations and helped us stand out from the competition.”

114 million passenger journeys were made last year across Northern Rail, Merseyrail, TransPennine Express and Arriva Trains Wales stations in the North West
The average traveller spends 7 minutes waiting for a train and 13 minutes travelling looking at advertising. National Rail advertising is ideal for call to action campaigns as potential customers have the time to absorb the details of your advert and even dial a number or access a website as they wait. Research shows that the longer consumers spend looking at adverts, the more likely they are to remember and act on them.

How It Can Work For Your Business
“We chose to use Merseyrail advertising because we needed to create brand awareness. The campaign has had the desired effect and constantly brings in new business for us. Everyone talks to us about our marketing and they love it! The design and production teams were excellent and we are delighted with the finished posters. We will definitely use Merseyrail advertising again and regularly recommend it to other businesses.”
