Background of the study:
Interactive digital billboards have transformed outdoor advertising by integrating dynamic content, real-time data, and consumer interactivity. In Abuja, brands are deploying these innovative advertising tools to capture consumer attention and drive engagement in public spaces. This study examines the effectiveness of interactive digital billboards in increasing consumer attention through engaging visuals, interactive elements, and data-driven content customization (Bello, 2023). Such technologies enable advertisers to tailor messages based on time, location, and audience behavior, providing a more personalized experience compared to static billboards (Amadi, 2024). The integration of interactive features, such as touchscreens and QR codes, invites active consumer participation, thereby enhancing brand recall and message retention. However, issues related to high installation costs, technological maintenance, and potential distraction remain. This research critically analyzes the impact of these digital billboards on consumer attention, offering insights into their role in modern outdoor advertising strategies and proposing improvements for future campaigns (Uzo, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
Despite the innovative features of interactive digital billboards, outdoor advertising campaigns in Abuja face challenges in sustaining consumer attention. High costs, technical malfunctions, and limited audience interaction in diverse urban settings often compromise the effectiveness of these installations (Bello, 2023). Furthermore, inconsistent message delivery due to environmental factors may reduce overall campaign impact. These challenges necessitate a comprehensive evaluation of interactive billboard strategies to determine whether they truly enhance consumer attention and engagement, and to identify actionable solutions for optimization (Amadi, 2024).
