Window placement is the perfect way to create that all important initial engagement. Dynamic images in the form of video will attached ‘eyes’ to look at the screens. The screen can be used to engage even when the store is closed.
Here’s just some of the ways you take advantage of placing large format LCD panels in a retail window:
- Launch your ‘new’ product – Launch your new product with a dynamic images or video for maximum impact. The release can be scheduled ahead of time so all screens across the country would release the new product simultaneously.
- A spot special can be scheduled for part of the day – During those traditional quieter parts of the day schedule a ‘special offer’ for just an hour or two.
- Promote loyalty programs, gift voucher or other programs a passer by may not be aware of – Many retailers have sales based programs that shoppers may not be aware exist. Digital signage is the perfect way to promote all additional service to the passing shopper.
- Product images to overview your range – A nicely created piece of video content can show your product range in its best light.
