Benefits of Placing Support Ads in Yamanashi
- Good accessibility from the Tokyo metropolitan area: Approx. 90 minutes by express train from Shinjuku. As it's within day-trip range, many fans come from afar, increasing opportunities for them to see the ads on-site and post them on social media.
- High venue concentration: Fans concentrate around YCC Kenmin Bunka Hall and Kofu City Hall, leading to high ad reach efficiency.
- Less competition: Compared to Tokyo and Osaka, there are fewer support ads placed, making it an environment where ads stand out easily.
- Synergistic effects with tourism: Yamanashi is famous for many tourist spots such as Shosenkyo Gorge, Kofu Castle, Takeda Shrine, Hoto noodles, wine, and its fruit kingdom status (especially peaches), so fans from outside the prefecture tend to extend their stay.
Application Flow
- Determine purpose, budget, and timing: It's smoother to decide the timing for the ad (e.g., birthday celebration, concert day, anniversary) and the maximum budget in advance.
- Choose media and posting location: Focus on digital signage, prioritizing locations close to the live venue.
- Prepare creative assets: Prepare image and video data for signage.
- Apply: If you use a support ad dedicated service like Oshi-Ad, individuals can proceed to posting in as little as about 1 week.
- Posting and dissemination: Once posted, take photos/videos on-site and post them on social media.
How to Place a Support Ad
Decide on Purpose and Budget
First, decide "for whom," "for what occasion," and "for how much" you want to place the ad. The budget can be fully borne by one person or collected from fans through crowdfunding.
Choose Media and Posting Location
It is effective to choose digital signage or ad trucks to coincide with days when fans gather near live venues (such as around YCC Kenmin Bunka Hall or Kofu City Hall).
