It can be said that elevator media channels that appeared in cities have become a television channel specializing in advertising but unable to switch channels, which is evaluated by advertisers as the main media channel in “brand promotion and product introduction”.
Why is elevator channel considered the main media channel? There have been many articles analyzing the effectiveness of elevator channels, with unique advantages such as passing by every day, covering high-end consumer groups, repeated broadcasts, mandatory viewing, no interruptions, close access… helping the main consumer group in society easily remember advertising content, thereby changing consumer behavior and leading the market.
A 2022 research report by ISOP China shows that among the successful brands with high recognition, the slogans that go deep into the minds of Chinese consumers in 2022, consumers’ access to advertising through television channels reached 47%, 56% from the internet channel and 83% from the elevator channel of the building. The access rate from the building channel is much higher than the internet channel. It can be seen that the advertising efficiency of the elevator channel is the best among the media.

So how do experts and businesses evaluate the effectiveness of elevator media?
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Truong, Head of the International Training Institute at Ho Chi Minh City University of Finance and Marketing, commented:
