Current retailer network of 50 media retailers nationwide reaching one million consumers monthly and 12 million consumers annually

advertising’s digital age

The digital age has transformed the way businesses and advertisers engage with their core customers. The technology for intimate consumer engagement has never been more evolved.

And brand marketing has never been more competitive.

Media retailers sell music, movies, tech, hardware, accessories, and all manner of accoutrements. When it comes to physical in-store marketing they know what they’re doing. They’re expert in facilitating engaging in-store customer connections.

But when it comes to utilizing digital technology and managing state-of-the-art digital advertising & sales campaigns that fully leverage their foot traffic - media retailers lack time, expertise, and scale to successfully execute these strategies.

At this same time, advertisers always look for innovative new ways to impactfully and accurately deliver their message directly to their most preferred target audiences.

Our goal is to be in 150 stores by end of 2019.

ads

Ad copy consists of video or still images. Ads run for 15-30 seconds. Ads display twelve times per hour on random loops. That means a typical customer shopping for half an hour is exposed to each ad six times during the course of their shopping visit.

The longer customers spend in-store, according to Ipsos, the more likely they are to make a purchase. Media stores typically report some of the longest customer dwell times in retail.

Attracting eyes to the screen is an essential core competence. We run attractive ads and insert eye catching filler; and ads run randomly each segment to retain the element of surprise. Ads are designed to be viewed 5-20 feet away. All in the service of keeping consumers engaged.

Graphic arts and video editing are done in-house. We emphasize aesthetics. We lean toward culturally resonant themes and subtlety in brand ads. We want consumers to recall what they’ve seen and feel good while watching it. Beauty, emotion, and message.. all can be delivered with remarkable potency in 15-second servings.

ad displays + mobile buttons

Each display ad displayed on the screens shows up as a mirror-image button on the consumer’s mobile device inside the xprncmedia web app. These buttons link to advertisers’ preferred websites. For album and movie ads, xprncmedia also streams audio & video and discovers a trove of relevant data.

Digital-out-of-home is reimagining the advertising experience

“The digital-out-of-home (DOOH) market is reimagining the classic advertising experience. What's novel about DOOH is that, unlike internet or mobile advertising, it allows advertisers to reach target audiences in a specific, real-world context instead of interrupting an internet user's online experience with an ad. It is focused on marketing to consumers when they are "on the go" in public places. Because it is location and context specific, the technology has the opportunity to give people the right message, in the right way, at the right time in a format that's automated, dynamic and interactive.”

“Nearly $4.5 billion is expected to be spent on DOOH advertising in the U.S. by 2019, an increase of approximately $1.2 billion from 2016. Zenith forecasts that DOOH will grow faster globally than all other buying methods, and Price Waterhouse Coopers predicts that DOOH advertising revenues will overtake traditional media spend in 2020, growing at a rate of 15% a year for the next four years.”

US DOOH Advertising Expands 10% in 2017

“DOOH media is the second-fastest growing ad medium because the industry continues to add value to the entire advertising equation by utilizing the latest digital media hardware and software with cutting-edge digital screens equipped with location-based networking and audience measurement capabilities. As consumers continue to access more media outside the home and use more ad-skipping & blocking technology, brands will increasingly turn to DOOH to engage target consumers near the point of decision.”

DOOH Advertising by Facebook and Snapchat? You’d Be Surprised

“Digital-Out-of-Home advertising revenue achieved a historic high in 2016, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. Approximately 25 percent of the top 100 spenders in the category are tech companies like Apple, Google, Snapchat and Facebook.”

Digital Signage Connection

DOOH and Mobile Are Converging

“In 2017, Nielsen revealed that DOOH ads prompted more online activity per ad spend than any other offline medium, with mobile technologies like NFC, AR and QR codes being used to drive sales and brand, … delivering the right message to the right person at the right time.”

the growing role of mobile in DOOH

Rise of Mobile as an Advertising Medium is Benefitting DOOH Media

Planners are more likely to recommend DOOH media in the future if they:

  • Combine mobile with DOOH to enhance creative execution
  • Use mobile devices for retargeting the DOOH ads
  • Measure DOOH audiences though tracking mobile device IDs
  • Enable interaction
