JC Decaux believe that the highest three outside advertising firms can acc
ount for half-hour of the market.
In order to gain from offering the free products and maintenance services,
the company got the exclusive rights of displaying advertisements on the
street furniture that had its location in downtown regions. Through making
the advertisements to be available in the city centers, the firm got a lot of
significance by getting incremental exposure time. At the end, the recall
capabilities of the advertising medium were improved. With the
incremental exposure time, the richer contents were permitted and more
sophisticated messages and information could be passed. With the
knowledge that most of the contracts for JC Decaux will expire in a period
of two years, the firm had to engage in stiff competition so as to get many
bids.
