iSIGN Media and Luxury Goods Retailer, Little Switzerland, Launch Mobile Phone Interactive Proximity Advertising in the Caribbea

04/02/2010 12:09pm

Marketwired Canada


iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ISD), today
announced it has commenced the roll-out of its interactive proximity advertising
solution with Little Switzerland, Inc., a leading specialty retailer of luxury
items based in the Caribbean. The two companies successfully trialed the first
iSIGN installation in early December at a Little Switzerland retail location in
Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. The retailer aims to use mobile phone based
promotions, to personalize the buying experiences in stores as they interact to
millions of tourists who visit the Caribbean each year. 


"We have been experiencing consumers coming into our store with the ads on their
phones and have seen sales pick up by the promotion offered in their Bluetooth
message," said Ursula Sfraga, Little Switzerland's Interactive Marketing
Manager. "The technology is really user-friendly and impressive. We look forward
to creating compelling ads and propagating awareness using iSIGN's media
broadcasting platform."


The plan entails expanding the iSIGN Media broadcasting system throughout the 20
plus store chain. Content and delivery schedules are now being tested and
integrated. Little Switzerland aims to be among the first jewelry chains in the
region to reduce advertising printing and other logistic costs, resulting in a
greener footprint for the chain. The messaging is free to the cell phone user as
Bluetooth wireless communications is used to connect with the patron's phone.
The ISIGN Media platform can reach anyone with a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone
within 300 feet of its broadcast source.


Little Switzerland represents a growing trend among specialty retailers who are
focusing on maximizing customer experience because shoppers are expecting more
personalized buying experiences in stores from a merchandise, pricing,
promotions and overall ease of buying experience. The automated and connected
store in the future will incorporate more mobile phone technologies in the store
experience because more consumers are increasing their product and promotions
search via their phones. A recent Aberdeen Group survey of US retailers revealed
that 30% of these retailers are now planning to utilize mobile-phone based
retailing and advertising within the next 12 months.


"You need new technology and management tools to integrate the mobile phone
shopper into the store experience," said Alex Romanov, CEO of iSIGN. "The real
bonus of our broadcasting system is the interactive data aggregation. Our
solution allows Little Switzerland's management to capture client interactions
and measure the effectiveness of each advertisement and promotion to maximize
value to their clients and ROI to each store."
