Adoption of technology saving aspects
Technologies such as AR, NFC, and beacon advertising can help brands to provide highly relevant and personalised content to customers, resulting in cost savings to the extent of 7% of the total category spend.
Buyers prefer to engage with suppliers that offer them agile and quick printing technology, which provides speedy output and high-quality images at low costs. Buyers also look for advances in technology such as the use of large screens to enhance service life and reduce maintenance costs, and the use of sensors to monitor the performance and use of billboards.


Supplier competition saving aspects
Optimisation of supply pool segregation is critical in the global outdoor advertising services market. Technavio analysts suggest procurement of the right mix of experience, expertise, value-adds, and transparency in pricing.
An effective outdoor advertising strategy is important to help buyers estimate budgets and reduce expenses on the continual update of content on billboards or public transit mediums. Buyers require service providers to help them formulate concepts for designing advertisements that can effectively be placed and displayed (in the case of digital billboards) to ensure maximum ROI.


Bundling of services saving aspects
One of the most opportunistic strategic cost saving levers in the global outdoor advertising services market is the need for consolidation and unification of advertising activities. Buyers prefer to engage with suppliers that offer them support for compelling and curated creative campaigns, including services such as media planning, buying, and printing and availability of latest technologies such as interactive billboards and AR billboards.
