Aerial Ads Take Advantage of the Spring Break Audience

Every spring the beaches of Florida and Texas are the one-week residence of college students who are getting a break from the books. An estimated 2.5 to 3 million will be basking in the sun this year. They have money to spend now, and a potential to spend another $125-$130 billion dollars during the year. How that kind of money will be spent is yet to be determined, based on the skill of effective advertising aimed at them.

One of the most effective forms of advertising to these students is arial banner or billboard advertising. These ads are really quite simple. A company or individual hires a plane to pull a banner displaying their message. The banner could be as long as 70 feet and will usually contain contact information such as a phone number or webpage. (Billboard aerial ads are like highway billboards only they are flown over the people instead of people driving by.) Most merchants subscribe to a flight duration of one to two hours. Each pass allows about 17 seconds of viewing time. As the plane flies over the students for an hour, back and forth, how many times do you think they will see your ad? By the time an hour is up, your message will be imprinted in their brains.

Students are relaxing and mentally open during spring break week. It is a week of vacation and they have planned to spend money. Picture this: millions of students are lying on the beach when suddenly the drone of a plane overheard catches their attention. They look up and see your ad pulled behind the plane. Your company is immediately far ahead of the competition in reaching this market.

The types of things advertised include items students would buy back in college. On the other hand, many of the ads are for items they will need immediately, like ads for restaurants or clothing. What an opportunity to tap this market of impulsive buyers.

With the economy is shambles and unemployment high, many advertisers are cutting back. Instead, walk through the door of opportunity packed into one week. The spring break students aren’t thinking about the economy or even the future. They just want to have some fun, regardless of the cost. They are called by one tourism expert a “recession-proof” group because the students consider this a unique opportunity without a price tag!

Electronic communication makes it even better. One merchant says he has his phone number on the banner and, almost immediately, he is being texted with orders. Others use G3 networks to make Internet orders. The minimal cost of the banner ad is quickly paid for and the rest is profits.

Aerial ads have another advantage: they are timeless. You will pay the full cost for the banner ad this year. However, when spring break is over, you can store the banner and use it again next year. Or it could be used the next week at a different beach or sporting event. Though banners are large (70 ft by 7 ft), they are durable and long lasting.

Pessimists are cutting back on advertising because of the poor economy. But wise businesses will want to take advantage of the spring break students and, those who do, will probably make a sizeable profit through aerial advertising.

Steps for Getting Aerial Ads into the Air

Have you ever been at a large gathering somewhere, like a sporting event or a beach, and seen an airplane fly by pulling an announcement or an advertisement of some type? These ads or messages are called aerial advertising, and have proven to be an effective way to get a message out to a large group quickly.

So how do they get such a huge banner into the sky? If the banner were attached to the plane before it took off, this would cause two problems. First, the banner would drag across the runway and get damaged. Second, The drag of the huge banner would make it more difficult to get off the ground and this means the banner would drag even longer.

Getting the aerial ad into the sky takes a great deal of skill. But the huge success of banner advertising makes it worth the trouble. First, the airplane takes off with a device called a "grapnel hook" hanging in the window. The other end is attacked to the tail of the airplane by either rope or cable.

Once the airplane is airborne, the pilot releases the hook from his window and lets it fall. The hook falls below the plane and is ready for the next part. Meanwhile, on the ground the banner is folded up, but it has a lead pole attached to the front. A harness is attached to that and a pick up rope to that. Finally a loop of rope connected to the lead rope is draped between two poles about five or six feet off the ground.

Next the plane flies over the open area where the banner's loop is visible. As he passes low over the area, the hook dragging below the plane is designed to catch the loop, pulling the lead rope and then the banner into the air. The moment he reaches the pick up area, he pulls back on the stick and throttles the engine, making the plane soar upward at a steep angle. The hook snags the loop of rope, and pulls the banner up into the sky. If for some reason his hook misses, then he circles around and tries again.

How do they keep the banner straight and not acting like a spiraling kite? The bottom of the banner is weighted so that it is always down. The end of it also has tiny parachutes that keep it stretched out. Banners could be up to fifty letters long and when you consider the letters are seven feet tall, that is a long banner to pull! It takes skill and practice to do it just right.

When the pilot has completed his mission over the designated area, he will fly the banner back to the drop off place, fly low again, and, release the hook so the banner falls to the ground unharmed. This way it is reusable if that is appropriate.

Larger planes are able to actually pull the banner with them on takeoff without damaging it, but most single engine prop planes use the plan outlined above to get the banner into the air.
All this may seem like a lot of trouble, but the result is worth the effort. Thousands will see the banner, both at the event and on the way to and from it. The message will get out and people will be influenced by the message.

But not all aerial advertising companies are alike. Some simply take an order and contract it out. Since 1996, AirSign has been leading the industry by taking personal care of their customers using the best pilots, sharpest looking planes, and providing accountability for their work through free GPS tracking.

How Are Aerial Billboards Used in Advertising?

While traveling to Canada some years ago, I was struck by the absence of billboards along the roads. I guess it was against the law. Actually I missed them. Sure, too many can be obnoxious and an eyesore, but I found I rely on the information they present as I travel.

Of course, most billboards are huge signs pasted to a support on some rented piece of property like a farmer's field. The more people who travel that highway, the better. The billboard stands there, awaiting people traveling by to read the message. Now imagine this billboard flying into the air over some huge gathering of people. That is the essence of advertising with aerial billboards.


Aerial billboards are similar to roadside billboards but different in a number of ways as well. For example, the roadside billboard is fixed, being seen by moving people. Aerial billboards on the other hand, are moving while the people are stationary. Also, the roadside billboard is only noticed by those looking its way as they drive. The aerial billboard is read by virtually everyone who sees it because of the uniqueness of the display. The roadside billboard will be viewed by 100,000 people after a long time; the aerial billboard could be read by that many in a matter of minutes.

The aerial billboards are made of nylon. Some are painted and some are dyed with a sun inhibitor for protection. The billboard is not a banner but a banner is sometimes attached to the end of the billboard to give an additional message. Some billboards are as large as 50 feet tall and 100 feet long! The message on it may be a logo, the name of a product, photos, or just about anything a roadside billboard contains.

The billboard is weighted on the bottom so that it stays upright, and has a lead pole attached to the front. A bridle is attached to that and the bridle to a 250 feet long rope attached to the plane. To get the billboard into the air, the pilot must take off without it, then circle around and catch a loop of rope fastened to the tow rope. He catches it with a large hook attached to the rear of the plane. He immediately banks upward so the billboard is hoisted up and not dragged along the ground.

Of course, billboard advertising like this is dependent on the weather. Heavy winds could make it impossible for a small plane to pull such a resistance. Sometimes the banner cannot be added to the back of the billboard because of the drag. When the flight is over, the pilot is able to fly low and drop the billboard safely to the ground where it will be retrieved and stored for future use.

What is the difference between aerial banners and aerial billboards? The only real difference is the size and shape of the message trailing behind the plane. Clients might include restaurants, products, special events, congratulatory messages, wedding proposals, directions, information like a web page to get further details, special sales events, businesses, movie ads, and so on. Billboards display just about any brief message someone wants to get to the public in a hurry.


The cost for billboard or aerial ads varies with companies and locations. Generally you should plan on 0 to 0 an hour for towing time and 00 and up for the billboard or banner. If that seems like a lot of money, consider the revenue that the message will bring in as a result of thousands of people seeing your aerial advertising message in a single day.

How Does Aerial Advertising Compare to Traditional Forms?

The importance of advertising is plainly understood by most businesses. A significant part of their budget is devoted to it. If finances are tight, many try to build business through word-of-mouth from satisfied customers but that can take a while.

Alternative advertising methods include high cost radio or television ads, that might be targeted at a local community. However, too often people channel surf during the commercials and never even hear what is offered. Printed matter can be effective to reach a community but what percent ends up as wrapping for fish? Internet advertising is growing but may reach for a local business a much larger market than is useful.

One innovative idea which has soared in popularity in high density population areas is aerial advertising. Here's how it works. A firm is hired to make a large banner displaying a product or service message. They then fly over the area where many people are congregating, pulling the banner behind the plane. This works best when the sky is open, as at a beach, sporting event, concert, or parade. People look up at this distraction, read the ad and remember the product or service. Sound expensive? Actually aerial advertising is more cost effective than one might think.

For much less cost than other traditional advertising methods, aerial advertisers claim that their method reaches more people in a more effective way. Here's an example: One beach in Miami was advertised to and then, 30 minutes later, 2000 people were surveyed. The survey showed that 88% knew the ad had flown by, 79% recalled what the subject, and 67% could recall at least half of the exact message. Anyone would be hard pressed to say that printed ads, radio or TV could match that effectiveness at just five dollars per thousand people targeted. Those spending significant amounts of their budget on traditional advertising would do well to consider that they can reach as many people with less than half that budget using aerial advertising.

The noise of the plane overhead attracts the attention of the crowd and they look up. There, behind the plane, is a banner flapping in the wind and displaying a large, readable message, product, logo, or website. This naturally raises their curiosity and they want to know what it's all about. As the banner passes overhead, they are able to read it several times. Just the uniqueness of the delivery causes many to remember the product because it stands out from everything else that is fighting for their attention.

Concerns of air pollution caused by the plane can be put aside as this is much less than the amount of waste produced by discarded print advertisements reaching the same number of people. Comparatively, aerial advertising is much less invasive.

Interested in using the most cost effective and memorable means of mass advertising to promote your business? Consider the huge advantages of putting aerial advertising to work for you - especially with the rising problems of traffic gridlock on US roads which provide even more opportunities than ever to get your message in front of a captivated audience.
