Outdoor Impression Measurement System

Outdoor advertising impressions have been tracked traditionally from ages by using traffic counts and daily effective circulation (DEC) in order to estimate reach. Over the years these estimates/figures are only the possible means to measure/track the impression count of an OOH campaign.
Several researches are going from years to give accurate results about number of impressions/views count for outdoor advertisements. The new and improvised versions of DEC of audience measurement have been developed to track out-of-home advertisement metrics. The first method that rolled out is called as Eyes on Impressions (EOIs) but later it has been renamed TAB Out-of-Home Ratings (Updated 2017: renamed again to Geopath).
Accurate measurement in OOH Advertisements
The new system of outdoor advertisement impression tracker focuses on the number of consumers/viewers those who can view or see the advertisement, who eventually may get converted and are actually noticed the advertisement
The impressions/views tracked report is derived from various parameters like Daily Effective Circulations (DECs), Total Population in the region (Census report), Travel Surveys, Analytics reports, Data Modeling and Visibility Adjustment Indices (VAIs). VAI consider certain physical characteristics like Placement of the Unit, on what side of the road when viewed, Distance from traffic when viewed the Ad, Road type where Ad is placed on, whether the unit is illuminated, the size of advertisement, angle of ad relative to oncoming traffic and who has viewed the Ad (Pedestrians, Vehicles or both).
Switching towards new and improvised outdoor advertisement impression tracker cannot be happened immediately, agencies throughout are acclimating to the change. Outdoor Ad impressions are only completely examined impression metric used to measure outdoor advertising.

  • Why DEC metrics are are often higher than Outdoor Impressions metrics?
Usually DEC figures are higher than the Outdoor Impression figures because DEC system considers the number of views that billboard/hoarding could possibly receive per day, these metrics are not absolute and accurate figures as these were predicted based on vehicular traffic and will not consider the viewer had saw the ad or not whereas Outdoor Impression system calculates the metrics of viewers who has actually viewed the Advertisement.
  • How to use the comp metrics listed with outdoor impression data?
The Outdoor Impression comp metrics are the actual metrics of the number of viewers saw the ad unit that is composed of a target demographic. Let’s understand with an example, consider an ad unit which has comp of 78% listed as adult males with annual income of 4500k+, that is what the ad campaign target meant for, ie., 78% of weekly impression metrics listed  were derived from exclusive members of target demographic
  • What are the benefits of comp figures for an ad campaign?
In past, when targeting a particular community with particular age group, conversions were received from a location where it has high density of targeted community living. This kind of targeting cannot effectively reach the target audience. A new way of reaching the audience gives targeting the traffic outside the community, this allows to start reaching audience in dual targets ie., as primary demo target the general audience irrespective of community but with particular age group and secondary demo target the audience with particular community and age group will give more reach for the ad unit and will make audience to buy at least minimum in each demo to generate more conversions than the traditional targeting.
