This compelling viewership provides customers only one choice i.e. to go through the ad message. Ready availability of brand message is yet another asset of an outdoor advertising display. An advertiser can display his brand ad for as many numbers of days/weeks/months. Those who missed the ad display last time have another chance to re-visit the same location or spot and go through it. This way the brand message is accessed by customers at any cost.
