Plenty of commercial places have conveyors: malls, airports, bus terminals, restaurants-they all employ a conveyor system installed to aid the flow of activity and people. Lately, the advertising world has become full force in using the different conveyor systems in these areas for creative and effective promotions. From escalator belts to sushi conveyors to airport baggage carousels to supermarket check-out conveyors, ad companies are employing them all to successfully advertise products and also advocacies.
 
The incredible thing about utilising conveyors for ads is that it helps make a still picture animate, straight away transforming people’s response to it; rather than just viewing the picture, people observe it and enjoy it more. Its attraction is transformed. Besides this, the ad strengthens its impact on the minds of those that have observed this innovative product marketing. Indeed, it’s generally the unique things that catch the awareness of people.
 
One great illustration is the Milky Way advertisement which was strategically placed on a grocer conveyor belt; to prove how deliciously gooey the caramel is in each bar of Milky Way, when the conveyor moves, the gooey strip of caramel gets longer. That ad was genius and it also inspired a lot of people to discover themselves whether the caramel of a Milky Way bar can really stretch that long-well, it does not, however the caramel was sure gooey, which was the point of the ad.
 
Another excellent advertisement is the one for a high end resort; it utilized the conveyors of the baggage claim vicinity at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. The metal plates were designed to seem like a pool with swimmers doing strokes. The ad made waiting for baggage to come out less of a challenge to one’s patience. If there had been children around at the airport when that advertisement was functioning, they surely would've skimmed their fingers over the believable picture of the swimming pool.
 
It’s been claimed also that people respond positively to advertisements which are affixed to conveyor systems in terms of hygiene; since the belts or the metal plates were changed and there’s more maintenance that's involved to make sure that the images remain clear and visually appealing, people feel that they are cleaner. In general, the reasoning is that a conveyor can convey the content in a clear method; it’s taking an intangible concept to the physical realm so that it’s quicker to comprehend. With some creativity as well as some whimsy, the goal of advertising is attained simply and successfully.
