Placing media with VRT is fair and straightforward. We have set rates with clearly defined parameters as to who our audience is and how many are traveling within our transit system. Design templates and specifications are clearly stipulated and available for review at any time.

Market Research on Boise’s Growth

Boise was named the fastest growing city in the U.S. in 2018. With that growth in population, there’s been a significant influx in economic activity and, notably, traffic congestion. Within the Treasure Valley, streets and public transportation are being trafficked at ever-increasing rates.

Given the increase of new digital media channels and the fractured attention spans that come with them, out of home (OOH) advertising remains a clear, focused method of reaching consumers. According to a survey conducted by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America and the Nielsen Corporation:

• 66% of smartphone users took some type of action after seeing an OOH advertisement in the past year, and over 4 in 10 used online search to look up information.
• OOH ad viewers are more likely to be both younger and have higher incomes than the general population.
• In-store, 39% of 999 survey respondents noticed a directional OOH ad, 20% of OOH viewers visited immediately after seeing the ad, and 74% of those visitors made a purchase.
