The audience that will be looking at your Billboard will be a much larger audience which includes the relevant and non-relevant Audience. The relevant audience will be the people who are in the age group of say 25-45 whose children might be sin the age group of 2-18. With Digital Marketing you will be able to target only the relevant audience. And if you have a great creative, a great idea to capture the audience, then Hooray! children have already started taking admissions in your school.
