Innovative Foto Launches New Advertising Division
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Innovative Foto, a national provider of networked Photobooth kiosks has launched a new Digital Experiential Media Network (DEMN) division responsible for ad agency campaigns, experiential activations and digital programmatic advertising.
DEMN will be using the current network of 2,200 in-venue permanent placement units across the United States to offer new multi-sensory advertising experiences. Current kiosk placements include high profile retailers, malls, cinemas, restaurants, hospitality venues, and national amusement centers who have opted in for a new revenue stream to include ad enabled branded experiences.
Traditionally the photo booths offer high quality image / video capture, editing and manipulation in addition to the ability to post to social media for online distribution and viewing. The new division is responsible for promoting the new free experience for the consumer, but paid for by third party advertising partners. Instead of paying the guest has an option to watch a short commercial or movie preview to participate. Each kiosk can be customized to fit a client’s needs on a pay per engagement model.
The Kiosks feature 24” and 42” monitors for exterior digital signage and an internal touchscreen for additional interactivity. Each unit comes with the latest high quality dye sub printers from DNP Japan and backed by the Innovative Foto national network of field technicians. Advertising innovations include Quividi camera audience analytical software. Thanks to the Quividi enhancements DEMN delivers real-time audience analytics that include gender, age, attention, mood thus delivering real value to DEMN advertising partners.
In addition the booths have new experiential features where venues and marketers can leverage intimate sessions as guests literally close a privacy “curtain” to engage with the video recording camera for high value measurable marketing results. Ad agencies and media buyers interested in finding out more can register here for test campaigns to assist them in understanding the new platform.
Joel Martin DEMN Director of Innovation and Media Sales told us “We are bringing Google like analytics and the ability to properly account for experiential marketing expenditures in the field using a pay per engagement model that offers hard data to agencies. We want the broadcast media buyer and experiential producer to come together and realize how this is a digital strategy that can produce a real world experience at a fraction of the traditional cost to brands.”
Stephen Williams Senior Director of the new division believes that the key will be the ability to reduce waste in digital and mobile marketing expenses. He said “Unlike traditional models our kiosks reduce waste by offering 100% viewership and accountability tied to a mobile number. There are no evil bots, no click fraud, not CMP estimates of foot traffic. Thanks to Quividi we know the exact foot traffic, we know the viewability rates, we know who are our audience is 100% of the time and we only charge you for the phone numbers we activate with.”
