A division of Laval, Quebec-based Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., Mac’s recently ran a clever digital signage campaign at all their locations – featuring a playful dog with a toothbrush protruding from his mouth. In the speech-bubble next to him appeared the captions: “How’s your breath?” and “We don’t all have time to brush like Otis.”The underlying message for viewing audiences was simple - use breath fresheners; they really work. Suddenly sales of breath fresheners, companywide, increased by almost 21%.The campaign had 1,180 consumer impressions per location, per day – generating 118,000 impressions for the breath freshener brand.Targeted digital advertising is popular with online viewers, and convenience stores are beginning to understand how to utilize this technology as a powerful tool for persuading consumer purchasing.In addition to the benefits of interactivity and dynamic content, digital signage also allows you to easily control your messaging.
