Features / Benefits

Consumer brands should use Handrail Media as a central part of their out-of-home strategies. They provide a unique advertising concept individually or as a successful part of an integrated multi faceted campaign at a vital point of customer engagement. Handrails are freely accessible to the general public in high frequency areas providing an ideal way to hardwire brands and their message into captive customer's minds. Independent surveys have found that they have the ability to generate over twice the average recall of poster sites.
