San Francisco Pedicabs Advertising:
Branded Sponsorships, Free Ride
and Creative Outdoor Campaigns


San Francisco PedicabsSF advertisers spent $6.6 billion on innovative outdoor advertising and marketing last year. This investment has forced dramatic changes as the industry develops new outdoor media formats in response to the needs of advertisers. Today, outdoor means billboards; but it also means street furniture, transit advertising as well as other alternative formats such as pedicabs.

Simply by virtue of their unique nature, pedicabs attract attention. With thousands of people from all over the United States and the world in the San Francisco area daily, it's little wonder pedicab advertising is becoming increasingly popular among businesses. According to the San Francisco Convention and Visitors bureau, the total number of visitor and convention participants yearly is 15.7 million people.

Total visitor and convention spending tops $6.5 billion and the average expenditure per convention delegate per day is $287.00.

The average daily expenditure per general visitor staying in hotels/motels is $263.00, and the average daily expenditure for all visitors is $137.00.

For the visitors, the median age is 37, median household income $65,900, and the average length of stay in San Francisco is 4.5 nights.

San Francisco PedicabsWith those figures, it is not surprising multi-nationals such as United Airlines, Budweiser, and General Motors have used pedicabs or mobile billboards to market new products, promotions, and advertising campaigns.

San Francisco pedicabs regularly travel to many areas of the city - Chinatown, North Beach, Fishermen's Wharf, the Embarcadero, Union Square, Chase Center, and Oracle Park.

There is not one person who has attended a Giants game who has not seen a pedicab transporting people to and from the Bart Station/Ferry Building. A large display wrap ad on the back of our pedicabs will give you the best value per impression.

The pedicabs are seen, however the greatest benefit comes from the riders. Approximately 90% of pedicab rides come from the rider asking a person where they are going or if they need a ride.

Put simply, every person who walks within speaking distance of a San Francisco pedicab will be asked if they want a ride. That's a lot of people!

Benefits of Outdoor Media

According to a recent study by Arbitron, Inc., an international media and marketing research firm serving outdoor media, radio broadcasters, cable companies, advertisers, and advertising agencies in the United States & Europe, outdoor is effective because it reaches consumers missed by, and enhances exposure of other media.

Outdoor media can reach consumers not exposed or only lightly exposed to newspaper and local television, for example, and are complimentary to radio campaigns.

"Wrapped vehicles not only place messages in front of target consumers, they also provide the opportunity for direct customer contact through collateral distribution, sampling, and other promotional tactics," notes Stephen Freitas, spokesperson for the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA).
