What Is BTL Advertising?

BTL (Below The Line) refers to targeted, non-mass advertising that focuses on personal and direct interaction. Its main goal is to engage people firsthand: let them try a product, communicate with the brand, and create an emotional experience that stays with them.

While ATL advertising (billboards, TV, radio) tells people about a brand, BTL advertising allows them to experience it personally.

Examples of BTL Activities:

  • Promotions and tastings — introduce the product through live experiences.

  • Sampling — distribution of product samples, flyers, or coupons.

  • Integrations — brand participation in festivals, sporting events, and exhibitions.

  • Events and activations — organization of vivid, memorable experiences such as store openings, customer days, or flash mobs.

  • POS materials and point-of-sale branding — branded stands, showcases, and displays.

  • Mobile promo teams and roadshows — direct communication with customers on the street or in high-traffic locations.

Why Does BTL Work?

  • Live interaction.
    People don’t just see advertising — they take part in it.

  • Brand trust.
    When people can try, touch, and ask questions, the barrier between the brand and the customer disappears.

  • High engagement.
    Participants often share their experiences on social media, increasing organic reach.

  • Measurable results.
    BTL allows you to track contacts, distributed samples, engagement, and even sales.

Where Is BTL Advertising Most Effective?

BTL is ideal for launching new brands or products, boosting sales, building customer loyalty, and working with specific audiences — for example, within a particular district, shopping mall, or event.
