One of the best and most effective methods of attracting the attention of potential clients is advertising in the metro. Each person uses the metro for approximately 10-80 minutes per visit. This time is sufficient for advertising to catch the eye and grab attention with bright visual content. Currently, the Kyiv Metro has 52 stations on three lines with a total length of up to 70 km:
- Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line (Red) – 18 stations;
- Obolonsko-Teremkivska Line (Blue) – 18 stations;
- Syretsko-Pecherska Line (Green) – 16 stations.
The daily average passenger flow of the Kyiv metro exceeds two million people. Stations like "Vokzalna," "Lisova," "Pochaina," and "Sviatoshyn" attract around 60,000 visitors daily. It has been proven that over 90% of passengers are interested in metro advertising, and more than 50% inquire about the phone numbers and addresses they see. Placing ads in the metro ensures a constant influx of a broad and active target audience for your business.
The cost of metro advertising allows for a return on investment due to the following advantages:
Passengers spend about an hour in the subway. Therefore, it is natural that not all this time is spent in the train, and your proposal can be seen not only during the journey.
