How to Launch a Transit Ad Campaign: Step-by-Step for First-Time Advertisers

If you're a brand manager or marketer looking to make your message move—literally—cab branding and transit advertising in India are powerful, high-visibility tools to consider. But for first-timers, navigating the process can feel overwhelming. How much does taxi advertising cost? What’s the ideal campaign duration? How do you ensure your brand lands on the right cabs, in the right places?

This guide breaks it down, step by step—designed for anyone considering their first campaign with Wrap2Earn, India’s leading fleet branding services partner.


Step 1: Choose the Right Format

At Wrap2Earn, we offer flexible cab advertising formats based on your goals, budget, and creative requirements:

Full Cab Wrap Ads – Maximum coverage across doors, bonnet, and rear for 360° visibility.

4-Door Branding – Ideal for clean branding while keeping costs optimized.

Partial Wraps – Covers select sections (like side doors), suitable for short-term or budget-conscious campaigns.

Taxi Top Screens (LytAds) – For brands interested in high-traffic digital impressions with real-time metrics.

Each format serves a purpose—so your campaign starts with clarity, not guesswork.


Step 2: Select Target Cities and Routes

Location matters. Whether you’re planning to advertise on taxis in Mumbai, Delhi, or expanding across multiple metros, our team helps you:

Identify high-traffic areas and audience zones (IT hubs, shopping districts, airports, etc.)

Choose between Ola and Uber car advertising fleets or standalone city-based vehicles.

Plan your route and presence based on your brand’s audience demographics.

If you’re new to vehicle branding services, Wrap2Earn makes this process seamless with a pre-defined targeting system refined from hundreds of campaigns.


Step 3: Get Clear on Budget & Duration

Budgets for cab advertising in India are typically calculated per cab, per month. The final cost depends on:

The number of vehicles

Branding format (full wrap, partial, top screen)

Campaign duration (2 weeks to 3+ months)

City and traffic exposure

Our team offers transparent taxi advertising rates, with media plans tailored for first-time advertisers.

Example: A 50-cab, 30-day full-wrap campaign in Mumbai may start at ₹2.5–3.5L, all-inclusive. Ask us for city-specific plans at Wrap2Earn.


Step 4: Share Your Creative Assets

Once your campaign is locked, it’s time to get your visuals ready. We provide:

Branding templates for Swift Dzire, Wagon R, and other fleet vehicles

Guidance on dimensions and visual hierarchy for car wrap advertising

Optional creative assistance if your team needs help designing wrap-ready artwork

Remember, car wrap marketing is about visibility in motion—bold, legible designs with clear messaging perform best.


Step 5: Production, Wrapping & Deployment

Our operations team coordinates the entire on-ground process:

Print and material procurement for high-durability wraps

Professional wrapping by trained vendors

Quality checks before rollout

Vehicle photography and reports

Typically, the production and deployment process takes 7–10 working days after design approval.


Step 6: Campaign Goes Live (and Visible Everywhere)

Once your fleet hits the road, your mobile billboard advertising begins. Your message moves across neighborhoods, commercial hubs, and intersections—generating thousands of daily impressions.

Live campaigns include:

Branded cabs operating on popular app-based platforms (Uber, Ola)

Location-wise coverage based on your plan

Reports and campaign snapshots from the field

For LytAds (our smart screen format), you get performance dashboards tracking impressions, locations, and real-time data.


Step 7: Monitor and Measure Impact

For brands who choose Wrap2Earn's fleet advertising agency support, we provide:

Location logs

Photographic evidence

Optional performance dashboards (for screen-based formats)

Post-campaign impact reports

This allows you to calculate real-world exposure and gauge the benefits of cab branding for businesses—including increased recall, brand lift, and footfall.
