Applause TV allows retailers to entertain and inform their customers, while providing them with reasons to come inside the store for higher margin purchases. The system delivers third-party national advertising, [image-nocss] retailer advertising, news and entertainment content on the large color screens embedded within the gasoline dispenser, along with consumer interaction and on-demand coupons at the pump. Fully managed programming includes content from CBS, ABC, Comedy Central, Warner Bros. Pictures and more than 20 other content providers, as well as community-oriented content, including Amber Alerts.
"We installed the Applause TV system at our site in March to help drive customers into our new convenience store," said owner Zareh Samurkashium of Grand Martco Inc. "The system has made such a positive impact on our customer base and in-store sales at this first site that we will be adding it to our other locations in the coming months."
"We've seen tremendous interest in Applause TV since launching it in select markets late last year," said Mark Williams, marketing manager of fuel dispenser applications at Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Applause TV has proven to build customer loyalty and drive sales and traffic; with its low upfront investment and new nationwide access, more retailers than ever before can benefit."
"Based on the initial success of Applause TV and strong demand from both retailers and advertisers, we're thrilled to work with Gilbarco to expand the platform nationally," said Matthew Stoudt, CEO of Outcast Media. "This engaging, interactive solution enriches consumer experience by providing compelling content and immediate access to the brand offerings being promoted on the network."
