Анотація

The purpose of this study is a comprehensive analysis of marketing and advertising strategies that contribute to the effective expansion of business in developing markets, with a special emphasis on integrating outdoor advertising with other marketing channels. It ensures maximum coverage of the target audience, increases brand recognition and strengthens the competitive position of enterprises. Methods. The work uses a systematic approach that combines the analysis of traditional and digital advertising methods, considering the socio-cultural, economic, technological and demographic characteristics of specific markets. The research methods used include comparative analysis, expert assessment, content analysis, and quantitative and qualitative methods for assessing the effectiveness of various communication channels: television, radio, print media, mobile marketing, outdoor advertising, social networks and direct activity. Special attention is paid to analyzing the conditions of limited digital infrastructure, which is characteristic of many developing countries. Results. It was found that integrating outdoor advertising with other marketing tools significantly increases brand awareness, creates a positive image, and contributes to effective customer attraction and retention. A key factor in success is the adaptation of advertising messages to the local context, which includes language, cultural values, traditions, social norms, and consumer behavior. Considering these aspects allows you to create more relevant, targeted, and attractive advertising campaigns. In situations where digital presence is limited, combined strategies that combine outdoor advertising with mobile marketing, local radio, and print media are particularly effective. The results obtained can serve as the basis for further scientific research in the field of marketing and advertising in emerging markets, as well as for the development of practical recommendations and strategies for small and medium-sized businesses seeking to enter new markets, taking into account local characteristics, challenges, and limitations. The conclusions of this study hold both theoretical and practical significance, forming a basis for future scholarly contributions and serving as practical guidelines for SMEs aiming to effectively expand into new markets under conditions of limited resources and heterogeneous media environments.
