Industry Excellence Award for Digital Box Office Solutions
Allure Global Solutions, Inc. (Allure Global) has won the 2012 Industry Excellence Award for “Best Entertainment Deployment – Digital Signage” from the Digital Screenmedia Association (DSA), at this year’s Customer Engagement Technology World show in San Francisco for their Digital Box Office (DigiBox™) Solution deployed at The Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta, GA.
The DSA Industry Excellence Award recognizes the best digital signage, mobile, self-service and interactive kiosk technology projects and deployments across all vertical market segments. The Allure Global Digital Box Office solution allows clients to display fully animated content in full color, enhancing revenues and making ticket selling operations more efficient. By integrating to any POS solution, the Digital Box Office can dynamically change content and scheduling times through an easily managed interface from the client’s site or anywhere an Internet connection is available.
At The Georgia Aquarium, the 3 screen DigiBox Digital Box Office Solution is the only ‘on premise’ area for purchasing tickets. “We are extremely excited to work with a world class facility such as the Georgia Aquarium,” says Craig K. Chapin, President and CEO of Allure Global. “Their objective of offering engaging and exciting guest experiences plays extremely well to our objective of utilizing digital signage to enhance the guest experience and impact consumer behavior.”
The solution at The Georgia Aquarium features: Pricing Optimization, an advanced scheduling feature that allows clients to implement new pricing structure to include ‘peak’ and ‘off-peak’ pricing. It is controlled through the Playlist which allows you to add and tailor schedules that can be organized and prioritized by the user; POS Integration, which gives your box office the ability to interface with the POS for pricing synchronization or to make immediate price and content changes via the Web Management Tool – a user friendly interface that allows for easy and instant ‘live’ changes; and Interruption Marketing which takes control of your display real estate simultaneously, bringing focus and attention to the displays.
Through Interruption Marketing, the client is able to educate the consumer on upcoming events, promote new exhibits, as seen in The Georgia Aquarium Digital Box Office Solution, or to spotlight a new product or announcement. “Our goal was to use technology in the most effective way that would inform and entertain our guests while purchasing tickets” stated Jerry Harris, Director, Audio Visual Services for the Georgia Aquarium when he learned about the award. “When we opened in 2005, our ticket pricing was in print. Since the integration of the Allure Digital Box Office Solution, we have the flexibility to change service offerings, promote events, and schedule ‘peak’ and ‘off-peak’ pricing with minimum effort”.
