This issue of VM&RD presents a close look at the dynamics of digital signage and other technology led in-store brand communication, through the perspectives of industry players/experts and brands over the next few pages. Read on…
A Nielsen research study quoted in a white paper says that 4 in 5 brands experienced a significant increase of up to 33% in sales from their digital signage. Also, a 3-month study by Intel reportedly showed that digital displays capture 400% more views than static displays.
A survey by FedEx called ‘What’s your sign?’ also found that 8 out of 10 consumers entered a store they had never visited before based primarily on the signage and that 7 out of 10 consumers actually bought something because a digital signage promoting it caught their attention. While these numbers may be a bit far removed from the Indian context, they do hold some significance and point to the direction in which store experience may be headed in future.
As industry experts point out, digital signage is one way of positioning the brand in the higher echelons of consumer aspiration, of engaging with them. It is a way of beating competition by offering a value added in-store brand experience, one that the shopper takes back for brand recall later.
