Taxi advertising is a rapidly expanding form of outdoor media with a large majority of customers that have previously completed campaigns either adding to their fleet or renewing existing contracts. The most common questions posed by clients are how do we know where the cabs are, how many hours do they work and more importantly what exact times per day are they on the road, thankfully due to the new and unique software, all of Transport Media's Track-a-cab™ customers will have the answers to hand.
Transport Media are ready to go live with campaigns and are currently speaking to several specialists about this new and exciting change to taxi-cab advertising industry.
