How to Place Oen Kokoku (Fan Support Advertisements)

Step 1: Determine Objective, Budget, and Display Period

The starting point is to clarify "whose Oen Kokoku you want to place, when, and in what area." If aligning with a live performance at MUSE, starting preparations 2-4 weeks before the performance date allows for ample time. For individual placements, a budget of 30,000 JPY is a guideline. If you wish to share costs, crowdfunding is also an option.

Step 2: Select Media and Placement Location

If you want to place it near the venue, digital signage around Koku-Koen Station or Tokorozawa Station is suitable. If aiming for wider diffusion, large visions in Ikebukuro or Shinjuku are better. Combining options based on your budget and objectives is also effective. An ad truck driven around the venue on the day of the performance can boost excitement among fans.

Step 3: Apply and Submit to Oshi-Ad

Using Oshi-Ad allows for a seamless process from selecting the placement location to application and submission. Simply prepare your creative (image data) and specify the display date and location. As placement can start in as little as one week, it can sometimes accommodate performances decided at short notice.
