Market Research on Boise’s Growth

Boise is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. With that growth in population, there’s been a significant influx in economic activity and, notably, traffic congestion. Within the Treasure Valley, streets and public transportation are being trafficked at ever-increasing rates.

Given the increase of new digital media channels and the fractured attention spans that come with them, out of home (OOH) advertising remains a clear, focused method of reaching consumers. According to a survey conducted by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America and the Nielsen Corporation:

  • 66% of smartphone users took some type of action after seeing an OOH advertisement in the past year, and over 4 in 10 used online search to look up information.
  • OOH ad viewers are more likely to be both younger and have higher incomes than the general population.
  • In-store, 39% of 999 survey respondents noticed a directional OOH ad, 20% of OOH viewers visited immediately after seeing the ad, and 74% of those visitors made a purchase.
