Answer to Question 1

Billboard advertising is perhaps the oldest form of advertising in America, dating back to posters and notices tacked up for the public to read during the Revolutionary War. Today, they can provide wide exposure if they manage to grab attention with minimal text and striking imagery. They often include specialized lighting, moving parts, or rotating digitalized displays. Drawbacks include poor locations, time and effort in finding locations, long or confusing messages, environmental issues, and consumers who don't notice them.

Transit advertising is similar to billboard advertising and is sometimes used simultaneously. It is popular around the world and is seen in many venues, including on the backs of buildings, in subway tunnels, in terminals, on station platforms, and on the vehicles themselvestaxis, buses, and trucks. Many types of transit ads now use digital signage that creates customized messages for various neighborhoods or times of day. It does well in building or maintaining brand awareness, and particularly in targeting adults who work in major metropolitan areas, offering repetitive message exposure to commuters. Drawbacks, similar to those for billboards, include lengthy or complex messages, media clutter on busy streets and in public transit facilities, and busy or distracted commuters who tune out the ad message.
