Other tips for playing your LED screen videos when in motion

Do not elevate the trailer LED screen for road use. If you do this, you could create a potential hazard if your LED screen falls down. Your unit needs to be stable so that if you drive over uneven surfaces, your LED screen will remain fixed and safe on the trailer. In addition, when you are out in the community, your LED screen needs to be fixed at as close to eye level as possible so that it has the maximum impact on pedestrians and motorists.

Make sure that your logo and contact information is clearly visible. You need to ensure that your LED screen keeps this information visible in between other video content. If you don’t make sure this is visible at all times, you could run the risk of driving round with a blank screen. This not only looks unprofessional, it misses out on valuable advertising time and space.

Always check out the best times of the day to advertise via your LED trailer in motion. Many areas have quiet times when the streets are deserted so make sure that you coincide with busier times so that as many people as possible can see your message.
