With this in mind Provantage Out of Home Media has launched Branded Metered Cabs - a solution that has huge appeal for advertisers wanting to tap into the buying power of upper income consumers travelling through the main business, retail and tourist areas of the Mother City.
Metered cabs offer a premium advertising platform in an area with very limited outdoor branding opportunities."Acquiring rights to out of home platforms in Cape Town is always a challenge as legislation is tight. However, the branding of metered cabs is a clever, aesthetically pleasing mode of outdoor advertising that effectively delivers the message,without tarnishing the beauty of the natural environment. Metered cabsefficiently provide a dual purpose - that of transporting customers and taking a brand message to a desired geographic area," says Tanya Van Tonder, Product Manager: Transit and Tavernat Provantage.
Provantage's cab branding offers clients theopportunity to brand the Rikki Cab Fleet made up of London Cabs and Materias. These cabs operate in and around the Cape Town metropolitan areas including the City Bowl and the Atlantic Seaboard. The routes also include airport transfers, southern suburbs, Century City, Milnerton, TableView and Sea Point. They operate 24 hours per day Monday through to Sunday, prolonging the time of exposure, and transport approximately one thousand passengers per day. The cabs are used by local residents, students, tourists and business professionals - consumers who form part of a highly desirable consumer group.
