Advertising at the bus shelter will attract the attention of bus passengers and passersby. Research by the World Advertising Association shows that the average commute time of urban residents is about 1.5 hours/day. In Vietnam, this frequency may be higher because the traffic speed is slower.
Advertising price at a bus shelter is on average 7,000-10,000 USD/year, ie about 105,000,000 – 150,000,000 VND/year (source: http://www.vneconomy.vn/?home=detail&page=category&cat_name= 01&id= 813fd3eebafc36&pageid=2176) The panels must be renewed every year, creating movement of the logo for added appeal. But there must be synchronization and matching with advertising images on television and newspapers to create a stronger resonance effect.
Advertising content on the panels should only print the image of the card and its communication message.
For effective communication activities and in line with the promotion budget, only the form of advertising on billboards installed at bus stops is the most appropriate. It is estimated that the number of places to place billboards is about 450 district/national points, so the total amount to be spent is about: 450 x 105,000,000 VND = 47,250,000,000 VND Thus, the total cost for advertising is:
| Advertisement Type | Amount (VND) |
| Newspapers | 276,100,000 VND |
| TV | 2,210,800,000 won |
| Outdoor advertising | 47,250,000,000 VND |
| total | 49,736.900.000 VND |
