Problem:
Patrons did not like the screens showing ads at all times. Store owners and advertisers require maximum visibility.
Solution:
Solara's ‘non-intrusive’ advertising. Solara techies developed a system whereby the ‘ad mode’ is synchronized to display on a group of at least 3 screens for 15 minutes then transforms to ‘full screen’ mode for 45 minutes while the ‘ad mode’ moves to another group of screens for 15 minutes, then another, and so on. The advertising ‘dances’ around the location so that advertising is displayed on 3 of the 12 screens at any time during store hours.
