APAD 166: Tuk-tuk advertising

Most companies these days have learned to use tuk-tuks as tools to promote their businesses or create awareness for some. Not only that it is a lot, lot cheaper than other advertising tools, it is unique and  effective as, obviously, tuk-tuks are visible throughout the city as they move around.

Tuk-tuks, or auto-rickshaws, are motor vehicles that are one of the common modes of transportation in South and Southeast Asia, especially as a vehicle for hire.

I was surprised to see this old-school style of sign along Kampuchea Krom Boulevard the other week. It’s very rare to find this kind nowadays as most signs are now digitally-made. The sign is actually showing a list of places of interest in Phom Penh.

More signs all over the world at Signs, Signs. Please do have a look.
