How to Advertise on Semi Trucks

Semi truck advertising is becoming very popular. For only a fraction of the cost of a TV ad, you can have an ad that goes nationwide. Truck ads come in different sizes. Before talking with a rep, make sure to have a good idea of what you're looking for in an ad.

• Decide on the type of semi you want to advertise on. Semi advertising is available on local or nationwide trucks. If you have just a local business, you will want to advertise on the regional trucks.


• Work out the type of ad you'd like. A typical size is 5 feet wide by 12 feet high. The size varies on the type of advertising you decide on and the type of truck it will be placed on.  Some companies will design the ad for you, while other companies will expect you to have this designed already. You will also need to decide if you mind having another ad located next to yours, or if you want the ad by itself. Sharing space will make the cost cheaper.


• Locate the company you'd like to work with. You can find many companies by doing a simple web search. Try using the search terms semi truck advertising. Some companies are offering a discount if you mention it from their website.


• If you have your own semi trucks, you can buy an advertising wrap and have it installed.


• If you have a business website, make sure to put the website address in with the ad. Many potential customers will visit the website first before calling.
