Trailer advertising — Gauteng
Trailer advertising that parks your brand in front of your customers
Trailer advertising puts your billboard on wheels: a large, high-resolution board mounted on a purpose-built advertising trailer, parked in the busiest positions of the suburb you sell to. Simply Visible SA has run trailer advertising campaigns across Gauteng for more than ten years, for brands from Audi and Mercedes-Benz to Pizza Perfect and Ocean Basket — from R200 a day, printing and setup included.
Why a trailer beats a static billboard
A static billboard is locked to one site — if the spot underperforms, you pay for it anyway until the contract ends. An advertising trailer moves. Every plan includes four repositions a month, so your board follows the traffic: the school-run intersection in the morning market, the shopping centre approach over month-end, the arterial road when you want sheer volume. Research on mobile outdoor media consistently shows moving and street-level billboards are noticed by the overwhelming majority of passers-by, because they sit at eye level in slow-moving traffic rather than high above a highway.
Trailer advertising is also a fraction of the price. Premium static sites in Gauteng run from tens of thousands of rand a month; a Simply Visible trailer campaign starts around R6,000 a month all-in. See the full breakdown in our mobile billboard advertising cost guide.

Frequently asked questions about trailer advertising
What is trailer advertising?
Trailer advertising is a form of outdoor advertising where your ad is printed on a large board mounted on a purpose-built trailer, which is then parked in high-traffic positions — busy intersections, main roads, shopping centre approaches — in the suburbs where your customers live and drive. Because the billboard is on a trailer, it can be repositioned as often as the campaign needs.
How much does trailer advertising cost in South Africa?
With Simply Visible SA, trailer advertising costs between R200 and R285 per day in Gauteng depending on the length of your commitment. That rate includes the trailer, placement, four repositions a month, in-house printing, free setup, weekly photo reports and full insurance.
Where can an advertising trailer be placed?
We place trailers in 16 suburbs across Gauteng, including Sandton, Midrand, Fourways, Centurion, Randburg, Boksburg and Benoni. We choose high-traffic positions that match your objective, and you approve the area before the campaign starts.
How do I know my trailer is actually out there?
Every time your trailer moves you receive a photograph of your board on location, so you have proof of placement for the whole campaign without ever driving out to check.
How quickly can a trailer advertising campaign go live?
Most campaigns are live within 3 working days of artwork approval. We print in-house on our own high-resolution equipment, so there is no third-party print queue.
