Convinced there are not enough screens in the world, a company called Automated Media Services is set to introduce 3GTV at retail, in hopes that shoppers can be further swayed at the ever critical point of sale.
One of the firm’s advisers, Burt Manning, formerly of JWT, told The New York Times, “People are still watching television, but they’re spread out among hundreds of channels and the Internet. The one place where people re-aggregate themselves back into a crowd again is the retail store.”
Is that what you do when you shop? Re-aggregate back into the mass to become yet another faceless, nameless target?
Here’s a better idea. Establish a real long term relationship with the shopper, so you know when to deliver useful messages to the screen of their choice, not yours.
