20% Sales Lift from Digital Signage Network.
I’ve been waiting for some stats like this for a while. Today, I stumbled upon them at aka.tv.
Research results from Prime Digital Media and Sigma, owners of the Wellbeing digital signage network in Australian pharmacies, are reporting an effective 20% sales increase for products promoted through the channel.
The results are based on a month long research study carried out by Galaxy Research and Sigma audited point-of-sale data. The pharmacies selected to carry out the research were spread geographically across Australia - and no additional point-of-sale promotions or catalogues were placed in the pharmacies while the research was being undertaken.
Sigma and PDM are one of the first companies in Australia to release tangible research about the effects of digital media advertising in Australia.
This is great news that will help to increase the viability and credibility of the effectiveness of digital signage. Studies like these are invaluable in the promotion of out-of-home media.
