Metro advertising attracts more eyeballs due to its high visibility as it provides wide/bag space for advertising. Unlike other media, it determines that the brand message captures people’s attention.
Two-thirds of metro passengers are city dwellers, advertising through our agency will aid in targeting local audiences and increase foot traffic to your business.
Passengers on metro trains are basically daily commuters. The consistent audience sees the ad on a daily basis, and this repeated exposure results in high viewership and brand awareness.
The journey of 30 minutes to 2 hours provides a noiseless, comfortable, and pleasant environment for the captive audience. It caters to the visual senses, which makes decision-making easier.
Construction of metro trains worldwide has operated since the 1860s using steam locomotives by burning coke and coal. The first practical subway line was constructed in Boston, United States between 1895 and 1897. The first rapid transit which was automatically operated was Bay Area Rapid Transit in San Francisco was completed in 1976.
In India, the idea of metro rail came up with the advancement of railways. British rule in India developed a huge rail network for the transportation of its goods and labour. During this colonial period, Britishers invented trams in Kolkata, which ran between Sealdah and Armenian Ghat in 1873. This development was seen in Kolkata because, at that time, Kolkata was the capital of India.
The role of science and technology and the advancement of industrialization led to the invention of the first rapid transit system, which started its operations in 1984 in Kolkata by Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, also known as ‘Metro Man’. Later, Delhi Metro operated India's first modern metro, which began its operation in 2002. India's first privately owned and operated metro was the Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon, which started its operations in November 2013. Now, India has a wide network of metro rails that are operational from north to south, and DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) is considered to be the best for transportation and even brand advertising.
In 2014, Delhi metro rolled out a fully wrapped metro train advertisement that ran from Jahangirpuri to Huda City Center on the yellow line route by the firm ‘India Mart’. Imagine a whole train, decorated with vibrant colours and interesting graphics, walking next to you. It's more like a moving billboard, which provides a larger-than-life image of the brand.

Why Metro Branding by our agency?
The metro is fast turning into the most favoured method of transport in urban areas of India. With streets filled with potholes and vehicles clogging the ever-busy streets, the metro appears to be the nation's transportation saviour. It has been a blessing for both office suburbanites and recreational voyagers. It shortened the distance for travellers on one hand and also opened the universe of options for advertisers. Because of the popularity of metro rides, marketers began to use metro rails and platforms to advertise their products or services. From co-branding Metro Station to Metro Wrapping, OOH has gone really innovative.
Metro Stations: Metro stations offer brands ample space for setting up standees, kiosks, posters, banners, billboards, and digital screens. BuyMediaSpace has a wide network for metro station ad inventory in the city which offers maximum exposure and great ROI to your business.
Metro Wraps: With train wraps, the advertisers can run the branding along the entire length and breadth of the metro. It is certainly impactful as, during the metro arrival or during the dwell time, the advertisement on the train gets the prime attention of the travellers and leaves an everlasting impression on their minds.
Brands like Amazon, Pepsi, India Mart, Ola, Airtel, and so on are opting for the Metro Wrapping Marketing Strategy to reach out to a large gamut of audiences.
Metro Doors: Ads can also be placed on the doors on both sides of the metro, except the viewing glasses. Many advertisers use this space and come up with unique content ideas. Our advertising team will make use of every possible platform available for metro advertising so that campaign makes a huge impact at less cost.
Train-panel advertising: The side panels of the metro train can also be used for advertising. It pulls the eyeballs of commuters while standing or sitting inside the metro, which unavoidably takes a gander at these advertisements.
In-holders: Advertisers can likewise put their ads on the holders of metro trains. Any traveller standing or sitting won't miss the message placed here, as they are either holding them for support or they fall under their view while sitting.
Digital screens: Apart from these traditional strategies, advanced digital screens are also mounted inside the metro trains with clean content and a fully-lit background. This advanced method helps in advertising the brand even during dark nights. Our advertising team continuously updates the Digital inventory and offers a huge option to choose from.
Metro TV: Moving images attract more attention! Advertisers have the opportunity to place their brands on the Metro TV screens being installed at the metro stations and inside the metro. It caters to video and animation ads that help to grab more attention than regular posters.
Metro bridge panel: People from all walks of life cross the metro bridge. Either going to catch a metro train or waiting at the signal to reach the office. Metro bridge panel provides a wide space to advertise which is hard to ignore.
Elevators/lifts: The 6-8 seconds of the noiseless journey from one floor to another can help a marketer to create high impact as this is the time when commuters try to avoid eye contact with others and involves themselves in reading nearby ads.
Metro Card Branding: Branding on the back of Metro card is also an excellent opportunity available when we talk about Metro Branding. Advertisers can place their ad on the card creating brand recall not only during the journey but also after the journey. BuyMediaspace has a team of fabricators & designers to develop custom metro ads as per your campaign requirement.
Floor Sticker: Create a footprint and navigate the customer to your brand! Taking advantage of an unused floor in advertising can lead to maximum exposure and an increase in sales. Using vibrant colours and bold letters on the floor stickers can attract commuters on their way to catch the train.
Gate lines: The ticket barrier at the metro station is passed by all passengers travelling through the metro making it have the highest footfall. Placing your ad at gate lines offers a unique visual opportunity for the brand.
Charging Station: While waiting at a metro station, most mobile users will look out for a charging station to charge their phones or other devices. Consequently, these charging units, placed at strategic locations, showcasing your advertisement on a backlit screen, would definitely draw more attention to the brand and also provide convenience to the passengers.
General Flex: Generally, Flex fabrication is used in a wide range of applications inside and outside the Metro stations. The print material created by using flex material is vibrant, heavy duty and resistant to fading in extreme weather conditions. Thus, we, a professional metro advertising company create ads on the metro with flex which can be easily placed outdoors for longer periods of time. Our experts provide the best guidance for material to be used as per the type of media opted for and the campaign duration ensuring high effectiveness and low cost. for example, Backlit boards and non-lit boards will have different materials, and a smaller duration campaign can have relatively less durable quality material to save cost.
Cotton Flex: With a few state governments' bans on flex, cotton flex fabric is used as an exclusive alternative to metro advertisements because of its advanced coated fabric that has consistent quality, compatibility, recyclable nature, and eco-friendliness to the environment. We at BuyMediaSpace always adhere to the policy laid out by the local administration to avoid any issue that may impact the campaign or create bad PR.
Vinyl stickers: Metro advertising through BuyMediaSpace commonly utilizes high-quality vinyl stickers to give compatibility and clear visibility to the audience. The choice of solid, top-quality, and eco-friendly adhesive vinyl material gives more impact to the brands' ads, making them clear-coated on the walls, floors, or lifts for a month or more.
Transparent Sheet: A few of the metro advertising formats uses transparent sheets, which are basically made out of an aluminium frame with a transparent sheet, which enhances the visibility of the brand during the morning and also at night with the aid of LED or digital support light.
Execution and Monitoring of Metro Advertisement in India:
Planning: At BuyMediaSpace, our first and foremost step to launch a metro advertising campaign is media planning by identifying the metro station or metro line as per the targeted audience and budget. We do this by selecting the number of metro trains finalized as per the budget and need. After this client shares the creative content or video in mp4 form.
Execution: Once the media planning is approved, our service provider team proceeds with the printing or fabrication of the media as applicable. The fabricated media is printed, pasted and displayed on the media platform with the approved plan.
Monitoring: Once the execution is completed, our monitoring team initiates campaign monitoring and the evidential proof (geo-tagged images) of the campaign, along with the metro route details will be submitted to the clients on the date of endorsement of the campaign. Once the campaign reaches the last date, it will be monitored again by our monitoring team and another set of evidential proof will be sent to the clients as proof for the closure of the campaign tenure. In need of an extension of the campaign, it could be discussed prior to the end of the campaign.
