According to the U.K.’s Department of Transport, less signage is more effective. After all, who can decipher a message when it’s buried in a mess of messages?

The sky is the blank palette beckoning to advertisers who, like the early settlers, want a homestead with some acreage. Well, there is a lot of acreage in the sky! And there’s plenty of room to spread out on that “aerial homestead.”

And, here’s another reason to use aerial advertising: Akin to illuminated signage, some forms of aerial advertising use light against the backdrop of a dark sky to get the message across. If you want eyes on your signage, look upward!
