                  How not to annoy your customers
                  Jan 3rd 2008
                  From The Economist print edition

                  Is in-store television an effective advertising tool? Perhaps, if done right

                  IN-STORE television would seem to be a no-brainer for big retailers. It makes their
                  shops more attractive to consumer-goods companies because they can advertise
                  their wares direct to a captive audience. It lets retailers run their own advertisements
                  and promotions. It keeps shoppers informed and entertained. And after an
                  (admittedly large) investment in the in-store network, it can be a lucrative source of
                  advertising revenue.

                                                                   AP Even so, in-store television has so
                                                                      far worked well for only some
                                                                      retailers in some countries.
                                                                      America's Wal-Mart, the world's
                                                                      biggest retailer, started with in-
                                                                      store TV ten years ago in
                                                                      partnership with Premier Retail
                                                                      Networks (PRN), a firm based in
                                                                      San Francisco that is owned by
                                                                      Thomson, a French technology
                                                                      firm. It has the world's biggest
                                                                      network, with screens in over
                                                                      3,000 of its huge shops in
                                                                      America. After much trial and
                                                                      error it seems to have learnt how
                                                                      to carry it off. Some 140 firms,
                  Now available in stores everywhere                  including Procter & Gamble (P&G)
                                                                      and Unilever, the world's biggest
                  consumer-goods companies, pay to advertise on Wal-Mart TV. (Wal-Mart and PRN
                  split the proceeds, but will not say how.) A survey of retailers by Retail Systems
                  Research (RSR), a consultancy, found that in-store TV increased overall sales by 2%.

                  Wal-Mart started with a single in-store channel but now has six, covering subjects
                  such as food, electronics and health, which are shown on giant screens in a store's
                  various departments. Since the attention span of busy shoppers is short, these
                  channels differ from ordinary television. A 30-second spot created for TV is too long,
                  except for people stuck in check-out lines. Spots of five to 15 seconds, with one or
                  two messages, work best. Non-stop advertising puts shoppers off, so Wal-Mart mixes
                  advertising with entertainment, weather reports and cooking tips. On average,
                  customers watch one minute of programming per visit. They get annoyed if it is too
                  loud, so Wal-Mart turns down the volume when its shops are less busy.

                  In Britain the in-store network
                  being built by Tesco, the
                  world's third-biggest retailer, is
                  at an earlier stage. After
                  launching its system to great
                  fanfare in 2004 with JCDecaux,
                  a French outdoor-advertising
                  company, Tesco failed to win
                  many advertisers and almost
                  pulled the plug on the whole
                  project. But in 2006 it asked
                  dunnhumby, a British
                  marketing company, to
                  relaunch “Tesco TV” in 100 of
                  its supermarkets, with about
                  one-third of the chain's sales.
                  There are now closer ties
                  between what appears on the
                  screen and other in-store
                  promotions. A new “brand
                  sting” format is said to have lifted sales of some products by as much as 25%.

                  The greatest hope for in-store TV may be in emerging markets, where shoppers are
                  hungrier for branded consumer goods than they are in the rich world. In November
                  PRN said it was helping Carrefour, the world's second-largest retailer, kit out all of its
                  hypermarkets in Brazil with in-store TV. (It has already fitted Carrefour's shops in
                  Poland.) In China Focus Media, a local company, is dotting the retail landscape with
                  giant screens.

                  The business model for in-store TV varies. Sometimes a company such as PRN pays
                  for the screens, sells the advertising slots and pockets most of the revenue, with a
                  cut going to the retailer; sometimes the retailer pays for the screens, gets another
                  firm to run them and keeps the revenue for itself. In-store television networks make
                  most sense for big retailers, says Nikki Baird of RSR, because of the cost of installing
                  screens (typically $4,000 per shop) and updating content. Big retail chains also find it
                  easier to attract advertisers, because they can promise more screens in more places.

                  All of this depends on the willingness of consumer-goods companies to buy

                  advertising slots, however. Though about 80% of them renew their in-store TV deals,
                  they are still not totally sure about the idea. Paul Fox of P&G says it is too soon to
                  judge the new medium. The company is not yet certain, he says, how in-store TV fits
                  into the broader mix of marketing. But studies suggest that three-quarters of all
                  decisions to buy something are made inside shops, so done the right way, in-store TV
                  advertising could, in theory, make a big difference. Stay tuned.

How Not To Annoy Your Customers

  • 1. Advertising | How not to annoy your customers | Economist.com Page 1 of 2 Advertising How not to annoy your customers Jan 3rd 2008 From The Economist print edition Is in-store television an effective advertising tool? Perhaps, if done right IN-STORE television would seem to be a no-brainer for big retailers. It makes their shops more attractive to consumer-goods companies because they can advertise their wares direct to a captive audience. It lets retailers run their own advertisements and promotions. It keeps shoppers informed and entertained. And after an (admittedly large) investment in the in-store network, it can be a lucrative source of advertising revenue. AP Even so, in-store television has so far worked well for only some retailers in some countries. America's Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, started with in- store TV ten years ago in partnership with Premier Retail Networks (PRN), a firm based in San Francisco that is owned by Thomson, a French technology firm. It has the world's biggest network, with screens in over 3,000 of its huge shops in America. After much trial and error it seems to have learnt how to carry it off. Some 140 firms, Now available in stores everywhere including Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Unilever, the world's biggest consumer-goods companies, pay to advertise on Wal-Mart TV. (Wal-Mart and PRN split the proceeds, but will not say how.) A survey of retailers by Retail Systems Research (RSR), a consultancy, found that in-store TV increased overall sales by 2%. Wal-Mart started with a single in-store channel but now has six, covering subjects such as food, electronics and health, which are shown on giant screens in a store's various departments.
