3、 How to place the outdoor large screen in Taikoo Li, Sanlitun? Six step complete process

Step 1: Clarify brand goals and budget scope

Before contacting any supplier, ask yourself three questions:

Why should brands enter Sanlitun? Is the launch of a new product causing a sensation? Is it reshaping the brand's youthful image? Is it consolidating the position of a trend leader? Or should we conduct in-depth communication targeting specific circles?

Who is the target audience? Is it Generation Z chasing trends or high-end consumers who value quality?

What is the approximate budget? The price of Sanlitun large screens ranges from tens of thousands to millions, and the budget range needs to be determined in advance.

Step 2: Understand the price range and schedule

According to market data in 2026, the published prices for the core large screen in Sanlitun Taikoo Li are as follows:

The naked eye 3D large screen in Taikoo Li South District: carousel mode (15 seconds/time, 60 times/day) with a published price of 980000 yuan/week; The package screen mode (1-hour exclusive) costs 1.28 million yuan per session. The actual execution price will be discounted based on the amount of advertising. It is recommended to consult at least 2 weeks in advance.

The LED screen on the rooftop of the attached building of Tongying Center is priced at 700000 yuan per week. The release cycle is flexible and can be selected by week, month, quarter, half year, or year.

It should be noted that the above is an example price, and the actual transaction price may fluctuate greatly depending on factors such as the advertising period, season, discounts, etc. Holidays, fashion weeks, and large-scale event periods are prime time and require advance booking several months in advance; Shifting peak hours or choosing quarterly cooperation can result in better terms.

Step 3: Select the core combat area

Select the most suitable region based on brand tone and objectives:

Taikoo Li South District is the core of popular trends with the highest foot traffic, suitable for brands that require extensive exposure.

Taikoo Li North District is a gathering place for high-end luxury goods and designer brands, with a quiet and high-end atmosphere, suitable for high-end brands to showcase their style.

Taikoo Li West District is a gathering place for emerging trends and lifestyle brands, with buildings that are more artistic and suitable for hosting interactive activities such as pop-up stores.

The large screen on the rooftop of Tongying Center is located opposite Taikoo Li, which can cover both the pedestrian flow of the commercial district and the traffic flow of the main road, providing a broad view and suitable for large-scale brand image display.

Step 4: Media Form Selection and Creative Preparation

Creativity is the key to success or failure in advertising placement in Sanlitun.

Visual supremacy: Must have top-notch aesthetic and design quality, in line with international trend visual language. Modern LED screens generally support 4K or even 8K ultra high definition displays, providing a technological foundation for innovative forms such as naked eye 3D.

Strong topicality: The content itself should be able to spark discussion, take photos, and share. It can combine art, technology, and social issues. The naked eye 3D advertisement placed by an international car brand in Taikoo Li, Beijing in 2023 set a record of over 2 million secondary social media communications in a single day.

Interaction and Experience: Engage consumers as much as possible, scan codes, engage in AR interactions, collect samples, complete challenges, etc., and turn exposure into action.

Creative production cycle: High quality naked eye 3D video production usually takes 2-4 weeks, and sufficient time needs to be reserved.

Step 5: Obtain a quotation and negotiate

Inquire with 2-3 qualified outdoor advertising agencies to compare their proposals and prices. When negotiating, it is not only necessary to negotiate the price of advertising space, but also to strive for additional resources such as packaged social media promotion, mall membership system exposure, or event landing support.

Step 6: Publication Execution and Effect Tracking

Publication monitoring: Require service providers to provide publication photos or videos with time and location watermarks to ensure compliance with the agreement.

Effect tracking:

On site crowd flow and interaction data: collected through interactive device backend, questionnaire QR code, etc

Social media volume monitoring: tracking the number of mentions and readings of brand keywords and activity topics on Weibo, Little Red Book and Tiktok during launch

Sales conversion tracking: Retail brands can monitor changes in foot traffic and sales during the advertising period, or use exclusive promotional codes

4、 How to maximize advertising effectiveness? Creativity and Integration Strategy

1. Make good use of naked eye 3D technology

Naked eye 3D advertising has natural eye-catching effects and social communication attributes. According to industry data, outdoor advertising using naked eye 3D technology has a much higher secondary dissemination rate on social media than traditional print advertising. If the budget allows, it is recommended to prioritize the South Region main screen that supports naked eye 3D.

2. Online and offline integration

Outdoor advertising visuals must be consistent with the brand's social media avatar, splash screen ads, and KOL content. Use a unified visual hammer and activity topic (such as # XX brand trendy play Sanlitun #) to form a full chain communication.

3. KOL/KOC on-site check-in

Invite bloggers and photographers who match the brand tone to create content on-site, igniting secondary dissemination on social media. A popular check-in video may bring millions of additional exposure to advertisements.

4. Combining offline activities

Activities such as pop-up stores, roadshows, and new product experiences can be held in the vicinity of Sanlitun to transform large screen exposure into actual experience and sales conversion. However, it should be noted that if planning to hold offline activities, it is necessary to fully communicate with property management, street management, urban management and other departments in advance, and complete all reporting procedures.

5、 Common Misconceptions and Avoiding Pits Guide

Misconception 1: Only pursuing the location with the maximum flow of people, ignoring tone matching

The flow of people in the southern and northern regions is different. High end brands may not fit well in the southern region, while mass market brands may have lower input-output ratios in the northern region. It must be accurately matched according to the brand tone.

Misconception 2: Treating Sanlitun as a short-term sales channel

The core value here is brand building and user mindset occupation. Pursuing direct "scan code purchase" conversion often leads to disappointment, and reasonable goals such as brand awareness, popularity, and social media volume should be set.

Misconception 3: Creative content is "self indulgent" and disconnected from trendy culture

Avoid using outdated, unfashionable vision and copy. Before launching, it is essential to have young team members or target users conduct testing to ensure they speak their language.

Misconception 4: Ignoring the service differences behind prices

The service quality of different agents may vary greatly on the same screen. Some only offer naked screens, while others can provide value-added services such as creative planning and KOL collaboration. When inquiring, be sure to clarify the services included in the price.

Misconception 5: Underestimating the Cost and Time of Creative Production

The production cost of high-quality naked eye 3D videos can reach hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the production cycle is long. Be sure to reserve these resources in the budget and schedule.
