You have daily newspapers, magazines, television, hoardings, signboards, billboards, banners, pamphlets, and what not! Whatever way you choose to promote your company and its product, one thing remains common and that is in any marketing strategy or campaign, you should reach as many people as possible. The simple issue here is that the more people you reach, the more chances you have to convert them to potential customers!

Nowadays, it is boom time for airplane advertising. Airplane advertising, also called as aerial advertising, is nothing but highlighting the company's banner, slogan or logo through an airplane. The airplane tows aerial banners to promote a product or service. When people hear the sound of airplane, they look upwards and try to see what is being towed. Also, they try to read and understand the aerial message. In this way, the product is highlighted and marketed.

Generally, aerial advertising is reported to be very effective when the targeted place is crowded areas. Beaches, festivals, carnivals, exhibition grounds, near stadiums, downtown areas, theme parks, tourists' spots etc are few of the hot favorite places where airplane advertising brings fruitful results.
 
Contrary to the popular belief, airplane advertising is quite cheap and affordable, especially, when you look at its potential. Through aerial banners, you can reach hundreds of thousands of people at a time, within a short period of time. The statement is backed by research that reveals that approximately 80 per cent of the people notice the presence of airplanes that flies above them. Out of them, 78 per cent of people remember what exactly was being towed.

Aerial marketing works on human psychology. It is a human tendency to look upwards whenever there is a sound of an airplane. Moreover, the human brain takes more notice of things that are moving than things that are at a stand still. Both of these tendencies are used in a very effective manner. The airplane's sound makes people look upwards and aerial banners with attractive slogans, logos or product-shots make people read, understand, and then remember for quite a long time. Think of the potential when you have a series of such airplane advertising for months together in various markets.
