Tips for Buying Transit Ads in New York City

  • Consider your target audience. Transit ads can be a great way to reach a large and diverse audience in New York City. However, it is important to consider who your target audience is and which transit routes and locations they are most likely to frequent. This will help you to choose the right transit ad locations for your campaign.

  • Focus on high-traffic areas. In a city as busy as New York, it's important to focus on high-traffic areas that get a lot of foot and vehicle traffic. Transit ads placed in these areas will be seen by a larger number of people, which can increase the effectiveness of your advertising campaign.

  • Choose the right transit ad. Transit ads come in various mediums, such as buses, taxis, and airport displays. It is important to choose the medium that best suits your advertising goals and budget. For example, a bus wrap can offer a larger and more eye-catching display, while placing an ad in a few taxis may be more affordable and offer high-frequency exposure to commuters.
