Digital outdoor advertising is quite effective in attracting new consumers and making existing consumers increase their purchase, and has also amplified the marketing value of outdoor media.

The emergence of digital outdoor media has subverted this model. Through digital outdoor advertising platform, it can locate the audience that advertisers need to match in real time, and precisely match the audience with the display content. Procedural purchasing has realized standardization, transparency, precision, real-time and scale, and has become the general direction pursued by the outdoor media industry in the future.

Digital outdoor advertising can increase consumers’ cognition of the brand from offline and user interaction experience, so that the brand and users have emotional interaction, in-depth understanding of brand values, and through offline feedback to online communication effect. Therefore, in the era of experience economy, digital outdoor advertising not only has two-dimensional code, AR and other interactive technologies, but also will appear live broadcast, voice code interaction, face recognition and other technologies, to provide consumers with a changing, dynamic, novel all-round combination of interactive experience form.
3. Make a significant change in the marketing communication market pattern

Digitalization is the trend of the future development of the industry, and the proportion of digital outdoor media purchase is rising sharply, which is the most important growth point in the future.
In the future, the Matthew effect of marketing communication market will intensify, and the growth rate of traditional outdoor advertising market will continue to decline, while the emerging digital outdoor advertising market will lead the growth rate of outdoor media market. How to grasp the future development direction, build the corresponding capacity and organizational structure, and establish the sustainable competitiveness are the severe challenges faced by outdoor media enterprises.
