A Nielsen study found that frequent flyers responded very well to airport advertising, with 80% paying attention to the ad and 42% taking action after seeing the ad. Possible actions are visiting a website or researching a company’s products or services. Apart from that, advertising at the airport also helps to give the corporate brand a classy look.

A third of a sample of passengers examined by Nielsen confirmed they had taken real action after being exposed to airport advertisements. Such as choosing to visit a website or use an app to find out more information about a product or service they see advertised at the airport.
