As a medium, DOOH reaches 67% of US residents aged 18 or older each month across the venues measured, and delivers a fairly representative cross-section of consumers. Of those who recall seeing digital out-of-home displays in the past month, 76% noticed seeing them at multiple venues.
Looking at the demographic makeup of audiences for the major DOOH venues covered by Adcentricity, most of them skew toward men, whites and younger adults. The only venues where the audience is not majority men are doctor's office/hospital, public transit/riding and movie theaters; in all three women hold a 51% majority. In contrast, men hold a majority as high as 64% in the elevator venue.
Making up the majority of the US population, it is not surprising that whites hold a clear majority in every venue. This reaches a high of 72% in the grocery store venue. Adults 18-44 represent a combined majority of the audience in every venue, as well.
While income statistics vary somewhat, adults earning more than $100,000 a year hold a higher percentage of the audience for every venue than adults earning $75,000 to $100,000 annually.
The telecommunications industry represented more than 50% of Q4 2010 US RFPs for digital out-of-home advertising by significant dollar volume, according to another recent report from Adcentricity, notes Marketing Charts. This category did not make an appearance in Adcentricity's top five in Q3 2010 and yet, based on Q4, heavily over-influenced the top-line numbers at the expense of other categories.
Music, games and entertainment scored the second spot, as Adcentricity research indicates TV tune-in messages and TV networks continue to increase their evaluations of the DOOH medium.
