Lift Lobby Advertising in India – Reach Residential Communities with AdX
Lift-lobby advertising places digital screens where residents pause every day - the elevator lobby. AdX operates a technology-driven network of these screens across Indian housing societies, giving brands a measured, transparent way to reach residential communities.
What is lift-lobby advertising?
Lift-lobby advertising is a form of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising where screens installed beside elevators in residential and commercial buildings play short brand films to everyone who waits for a lift. Unlike roadside hoardings, the audience is a defined community - residents who pass the same screen several times a day, every day of the week.
The format works because of dwell time and repetition. A resident waiting for an elevator has seconds of natural pause, and the same resident returns morning and evening. An ad that plays inside that routine builds familiarity that a one-off billboard cannot.
How the AdX network operates
AdX installs and operates 32-inch portrait LED screens in the elevator lobbies of partner housing societies and commercial buildings. Each screen is connected, remotely monitored and centrally controlled - campaigns are scheduled from the AdX platform and play in a master cycle shared across the building's screens.
The network currently spans 900+ screens across 180+ societies in 9+ Indian cities, and has delivered 18 million impressions. Screens run daily from 06:00 to 23:30, with live weather and AQI content for residents alongside advertising.
Why advertisers choose residential audiences
Residential lift lobbies reach people at home - where purchase decisions for groceries, education, healthcare, financial products and local services are actually made. The audience is verified by address, not inferred from browsing behaviour, and it repeats daily.
For local businesses, the targeting is surgical: advertise only in the societies within your delivery radius. For national brands, the same network offers consistent, measurable reach across cities.
Screen formats and locations
Every AdX screen is a 32-inch portrait LED display in a custom casing, installed at eye level in elevator lobbies. Ad lengths run from 5 to 30 seconds in 5-second steps, and advertisers choose how often their ad plays - every 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes within each society's cycle.
Plays scheduled in prime-time bands - 07:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 to 22:00, when lobbies are busiest - carry a 25% premium on the base rate. All other hours run at the standard rate.
How campaigns are booked
Campaigns are booked on the AdX self-serve platform: register, load a prepaid wallet, select societies and screens, choose length and frequency, upload your creative and go live after a quick review. There is no negotiation and no minimum spend beyond your wallet balance - and registered advertisers receive discount coupons from time to time based on duration, frequency and festive offers.
How impressions and playback are measured
AdX bills per impression: one impression is one ad play on one operational screen. Screens report their health continuously - an offline screen never counts - and playback evidence is captured for every campaign. Your dashboard shows exactly how many plays ran, on which screens, and when.

Q3 How much does lift-lobby advertising cost in India?
On the AdX network, advertising starts at 1 paisa per second per screen, billed per impression. Plays inside prime-time bands (07:00-10:00 and 18:00-22:00) carry a 25% premium (1.25p per second). Registered advertisers also receive discount coupons from time to time based on campaign duration, frequency and festive offers.
Q4 Can advertisers select individual residential societies?
Yes. The AdX platform lets advertisers choose individual societies and screens, so a local business can advertise only in the communities around it while a national brand can run across the entire network.
Q5 How is advertising delivery measured on digital lobby screens?
Every AdX campaign is billed per impression - one impression is one ad play on one operational screen. Screens report their health continuously, playback evidence is captured for every campaign, and advertisers see impression-level records in their dashboard. Offline screens never count.
Q6 How can local businesses book advertising on residential screens?
Local businesses register at app.adx.vc, load a prepaid wallet of any size, and select the specific societies near their shop or service area. There is no minimum campaign size beyond the wallet balance, and discount coupons are shared with registered advertisers from time to time.
