* Rank is determined by statistical significance
Across each of the Life Pattern segments surveyed, digital signage
advertising was reported to be more entertaining that nearly all other
media. For example, 59 percent of Hispanic families, 56 percent of mobile
millennials, 51 percent of alpha moms, and 44 percent of affluents said
that digital signage advertising was entertaining. In addition to reporting
positively about the entertainment value of the medium, respondents
reported high interest in the content delivered on the digital signs
including local community and event information, news, and sports
information. Additionally, each of the Life Pattern segments reported that
they found advertising on digital signage to be more unique than other
media and also relevant at levels comparable to more targeted media such as
print.
"Identifying and analyzing people's Life Patterns provides tremendous
insights into where best to communicate with an advertisers target
consumer," said Peter Bowen, chief executive officer of SeeSaw. "These
insights can then be effectively used to catch people's attention with
media that people find unique, entertaining, interesting and relevant."
The research also examines the likelihood that a particular Life Pattern
will send a text-message response to offers seen on digital signage. Fifty
percent of all adults, versus 73 percent of all college students, report
that they use text messaging on a regular basis. Overall, 53 percent of
adults who use text messaging responded that they are likely to "text a
response" to an offer seen on digital signage. With Life Pattern Marketing,
advertisers place brand messages with relevant content in the most
desirable places, aligning their brands with difficult-to-reach, highly
mobile people.

SeeSaw Releases New Life Pattern Marketing Research Findings
Research From OTX Confirms Importance of Digital Signage to the Media Mix
| Quelle: SeeSaw
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 13, 2008) - SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering
the most extensive network of digital out-of-home media, today released the
complete Digital Out-of-Home Media Awareness and Attitude Study, which
includes new findings for difficult-to-reach people. The research includes
new information on 12 Life Patterns of various groups of people and the
types of content they look for in different locations. SeeSaw identified
these Life Patterns to help advertisers intercept people during their daily
routines. The research reveals important shifts in the way people consume
advertising and underscores the importance of digital out-of-home media as
part of the media mix based on consumer's attitudes toward advertising
across different media.
The study was conducted by OTX, a global consumer research and consulting
firm, and shows that a relatively high percentage of all adults are aware
of advertising on digital signs (62 percent), but is even more effective
with targeted Life Patterns. For example, more college students notice this
new digital media (75 percent). Similarly, 59 percent of Hispanic families
versus 48 percent of general adults find advertising on the medium
entertaining. Fifty-nine percent of young urban professionals indicate that
they pay attention to advertising on digital signage versus 41 percent for
the Internet.
For each of the Life Patterns surveyed, digital signage advertising was at
the top or near the top-ranked medium to catch people's attention when
compared with other media such as television, newspapers, magazines, the
Internet, billboards and radio.
