Not by chance airports have such wide advertising opportunities. Airport is a unique place, where a large number of people pass through, who at the same time feeling different emotions: happy or sad. Or they are in a hurry, and so they are in suspense and carefully look around. In both cases, outdoor advertising is a good chance to be remembered, especially if it is originally performed.

Currently Russian airports provide wide variety of outdoor advertising, both inside and outside the airport building:

  Standard billboards 3x6 m, city-formats 1,8x1,2 m, large-scale construction 5x15 m;

•  Placement of floor or suspended structures inside the airport;

  Placing screens, light-boxes in the lobbies of the airport;

  Branding of entire areas or lounges at the airport;

• Branding of functional objects that are used in the airport: ladders, baggage conveyors, baggage trolleys, handrails, back seat and so on;

• Any form of accommodation that you can arrange with the airport authority, for example, the car is placed on the ceiling at the lobby, or delivery of passengers from the terminal to the aircraft in its branded truck.

Despite the large number of advertising formats used in airports, outdoor advertising continues to have unlimited potential.

As for the distribution of printed products in the airport, it is no less relevant than the outdoor advertising. Many people come to the airport early and spend a few hours there. Your printing products can help them to pass the time. The best option of distribution is branded rack, particularly if they are located in combination with outdoor advertising elements.

Also, most of the major airports in Russia release their magazines: Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Pulkovo, Koltsovo, Adler and others. In all cases, the corporate magazine of the airport is a high quality publication with materials on different themes: business, fashion, travel, science, technology. As the magazines are distributed at the airport, they have traditionally attracted the attention of passengers, and advertising in this edition will add significance to your brand.

Another interesting way to advertise at the airport is branding of boarding passes. Advertisement on the boarding pass cannot be taken lightly because it will pass a lot of time in the passenger's hands. In addition, the boarding pass is a document which many passengers will keep for a long time: some as a memory, others - because of the need of financial report.

It is worthwhile to say about advertising in the VIP halls of Russian airports. VIP airport lounge is a room with a higher level service and comfort that high status passengers usually enjoy: representatives of the business and the higher level of government. To convey this message to your audience is always difficult. VIP airport lounge is a place where people spend a sufficient amount of time that is why there you will not only convey a message, but also achieve a re-contact of the person with the message.

All major airports in the country have VIP lounges now: Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Pulkovo, Koltsovo, and many others. Almost all the advertising methods that are used in airports are possible in VIP lounges: outdoor advertising, display advertising and light boxes, advertising in the magazine, or in the printing products of airports, as well as the branding of various objects. Of course, there cannot be a lot of advertising in the VIP room, because it should not affect the comfort of the passengers, so the accommodation there is particularly valuable.

Digital-tools, which are used for advertising in airports, associated with location and local targeting. The purpose of these instruments is to ensure that users on any communication channel receive the advertising message on their mobile device. Airport is an ideal place for the distribution of such advertising. People who often fly anywhere do not know all the nearby places and shops. Your proposal will not attract them only in one case - the person has arrived home from a holiday or business trip. In any other case, your promotional offer gets right on target.

It should be noted that the local ad targeting makes interesting for a buyer. Arriving new city or country, the user receives a message about interesting promotions in shops or places that he could visit. For shopping, enjoy breakfast or a cup of coffee - and all this can be done "on the way" and "by the way."
