Sales Tip: OOH Opportunities: Increased Summer Travel in 2022
Steve Nicklin SVP Marketing and Analytics, OAAA
The latest OAAA and Harris Poll research reveals even greater opportunities for OOH advertisers as consumers plan to take more vacation time this summer than in 2021. Eighty-five percent (85%) of consumers plan to travel this summer, and more will be traveling long distance (over 2K miles round trip) or embarking on international trips compared to last year.
Correspondingly, they will engage in more outdoor activities and visit more outdoor venues during the summer months of 2022. Consumers will also return to using paid travel accommodations, with significantly fewer planning to stay with family or friends while on vacation.
Data points featuring summer travel opportunities for positioning OOH are noted below and summarized in an Infographic available to OAAA members.
