Out of Home Achieves High Recall Among Consumers

Out of Home (OOH) advertising is widely visible and highly memorable among consumers, according to a recent analysis by Solomon Partners. 

Solomon works with the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) to study trends in the OOH industry. In a 2022 analysis of the impact of advertising on consumers, Solomon reviewed data collected from OOH campaigns and found that outdoor ad recall can reach up to 86%, the highest of any media type. 

According to the findings, OOH ads and messages will be recalled by 38% to 86% of audiences that see it. Comparatively, mobile advertising generates, at best, a 57% recall rate, meaning that OOH is clearly the more reliable channel for reaching, informing and influencing consumers. 

Here is a summary of Solomon Partners’ findings.
