RTown Communications and iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. Partner to Reach Over 4.5 Million Guests and Consumers Monthly Through In-Ro

05/04/2011 8:37pm

Marketwired Canada


RTown Communications ("RTown") has partnered with iSIGN Media Solutions Inc.
("iSIGN") (TSX VENTURE:ISD), to install their Interactive Marketing Solution
("IMS") 3.1 software into RTown's network in 346 locations.


Testing and trial installations are scheduled to commence in June 2011. Upon the
successful completion of the trial, installation of iSIGN's IMS 3.1 software
will commence into RTown's network in 346 locations, including hotels, resorts
and retail outlets consisting of 27,000 rooms across Canada and their existing
Digital Out Of Home ("DOOH) network in Vancouver, Whistler and Kelowna and will
allow advertisers on the RTown's Hotel TV network to deliver branded content,
special offers and coupons, discounts, loyalty program messages and other
rich-media offerings of guests' choosing directly to their mobile devices.
iSIGN's IMS 3.1 software will provide measurement and metrics to existing
advertisers and attract others who will want accountability and measurement of
their advertisements in real-time.


"With the largest digital signage and in-house TV network for hotels and resorts
in Canada, we are very excited to enhance our offering by teaming with iSIGN
Media. Through our agreement with iSIGN, we're now able to give our advertisers
the ability of communicating with millions of hotel guests every month via their
mobile phones, as well as capture and measure meaningful data. Our digital
signage and TV network, combined with iSIGN's IMS Bluetooth proximity messaging
solution can reach hotel guests wherever they are - in the room, lobby,
restaurant, bar or even out on the slopes. It's the most powerful way for our
advertisers to engage with hotel guests yet," said Don McQuaid, Founder of RTown
Communications.


Smartphone Surge Highlights the Always Connected Hotel Guest

The surge in smartphone ownership in North America (69.5 million current
smartphone owners according to latest data from comScore) highlights the
increasingly connected and "always on" hotel guest. The joint RTown and iSIGN
offering enables advertisers to reach these connected hotel guests at maximum
moments of influence:




--  98% of hotel guests turn on their television set within 5 minutes of
    entering their hotel rooms (Hilton Hotels Corp), and; 
--  74% of visitors tune into Resort TV on average 2.3 times per day
    (CustomFit Communications). 



"Over the past 12 months, we have seen the demand for in-room television and
signage networks promoting hotel services and activities grow significantly,"
said Don McQuaid, RTown's founder. "Our agreement with iSIGN enables our
participating hotels to send their guests targeted, destination-relevant
offerings and event announcements directly to their mobile devices from our TV
network in each room, hotel commerce areas, or even outdoors."


Both companies and participating hotel and resorts within the network anticipate
increased advertiser participation and revenue as the networks are converted and
activated with iSIGN's IMS 3.1 software.


Anticipated Advertising Revenues, Increased Engagement

"Advertising budgets are increasingly turning to mobile and digital-out-of-home
channels as they are proving to be so effective. iSIGN's patent-pending
Bluetooth (TM)proximity marketing solution avoids privacy issues or carrier
costs that are frequently associated with traditional SMS marketing campaigns,
while giving advertisers the ability to capture and measure data in real-time to
improve campaign effectiveness and higher ROI. There are massive opportunities
for both companies, and the advertisers on the RTown network to connect with
guests quickly, cheaply and effectively," said Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief
Executive Officer.


With a potential reach of more than 4.5 million guests and consumers per month,
RTown expects to increase revenue by at least 50% during the 3-year agreement
with iSIGN as advertisers and hotel guests benefit from the convenience,
relevancy, information and greater interaction throughout each location, at many
different touchpoints.
