Telecommunications: Driving Store Visits Through OOH

A leading telecommunications company partnered with EMC to strengthen its retail presence across six key markets: Michigan, Texas, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Colorado. With competition high and store visits a critical metric, the goal was to capture attention in daily routines and inspire customers to walk through their doors.
To accomplish this, EMC designed a layered Out of Home campaign that spanned multiple formats and environments. Posters, transit shelters, rail placements, grocery store displays, and both digital and static bulletins provided consistent touchpoints. Bus kings and digital bulletins in particular stood out, creating impactful reminders along commuter routes and busy city corridors. By blending scale with frequency, the campaign delivered results well above industry benchmarks.

Strategy

Drive measurable store traffic by surrounding target audiences with a variety of high-visibility OOH formats in key metro areas.

Tactics

A diverse media mix of posters, shelters, bus kings, rail, grocery stores, and bulletins—maximized impressions and created multiple entry points for engagement.

Results

50.97% lift in store traffic, 73,702 visits tracked, and an average of just 4.45 days from ad exposure to store entry. Texas digital bulletins achieved a standout 213% lift, far surpassing telecom benchmarks.
