The buzz around the
water cooler...


"Restroom advertising is naturally an efficient medium for targeting strictly male or female audiences." -Adweek

"The ads reach the audience most coveted by advertisers: 21-35 year olds who like to go out and spend money. Restroom ads also allow companies to target a gender with 100% accuracy." - Fortune

The IBAA is the first stop for advertising agencies, entrepreneurs and businesses looking for the most cost-effective, targeted way to advertise their product. Since 1998, the IBAA has served as the information clearinghouse, promotional arm and regulatory agency for restroom advertising companies throughout the United States and Canada.

Restroom advertising captures the attention of the young and affluent* 21-35 year old demographic. While sometimes referred to as "non-traditional" advertising, restroom advertising is widely-recognized as an extremely targeted, well-received advertising medium.

2011 IBAA Annual Conference:
at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino

Vegas, Baby!

Many thanks to the attendees, sponsors and speakers at the 14th annual IBAA
conference at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, October 13 - 15th. In case you
missed it, we had one of our best turnouts for an annual IBAA Conference in a decade.
We also had a visit from "Elvis" himself. Seriously. Viva Las Vegas!

"Making Ourselves Experts" could be the subtitle of our gathering as we had ample
opportunities to share and now broadcast what we learned in Vegas. We certainly hit the
Jackpot with valuable content provided by our scheduled speakers, and also the
immeasurable value of the sharing ideas over the course of the weekend during happy
hours and mixers. Ask anyone who attended, and you'll certainly hear that we dug deeper
into media buying trends and opportunities for indoor, thanks to presentations and round
table discussions that were spearheaded by Leith El Hassan from Ad Council, and Ron
Speechly from SRDS. Our Keynote Speaker, Kent Lewis, from Anvil Media added a true
golden nugget, with his presentation on adding "placed based" technologies to our
offerings with ancillary ideas from QR Codes, Near Field Technology, SMS and how we
can all “ Maximize and Amplify” our client's campaigns via emerging trends in Mobile.
While some members are at the forefront of using the latest technologies (and how they
tie in with Social Media, websites and publicity), Kent also hit on the next wave of products
and services that we as indoor operators have huge upside opportunities. VIEW NOW

Add to that Elvis. Ok really we did have Elvis, albeit it was "Mini-Elvis", and LA-based
entertainer who bills himself as "Mini-E-the miniature Elvis impersonator", who regaled
the group with everything from Elvis to rap during a hospitality party in one of the resort
suites. To catch a glimpse VIEW NOW

You'll soon see and hear that what happened in Vegas, certainly wont stay in Vegas as
our members start adding some of the ideas, and offerings to their indoor operations
over the next year.

Viva Las Vegas and Viva Indoor Advertising!

IBAA Executive Director.
