Adspace Networks Doubles Number Of Retailers Partcipating In Today's Top Ten

Over 450 Retailers Now Participating in the "Today's Top Ten" program

The Adspace Mall Networks' "Today's Top Ten" program now boasts more than 450 participating retailers, which represents doubled growth from participating retailers in 2006. Adspace anticipates that number to continue to grow as the network rollout continues.

Adspace Networks, operator of the country's largest in-mall digital video advertising network, called the Adspace Mall Network, showcases the 10 best sale items offered by retailers that day through the "Today's Top Ten" program. This program allows the mall's retailers to compete to be featured on the digital displays, known as the Smart Screens, by submitting their best deals including original prices and total savings.

Adspace's own professional consumerists choose the 10 best sale items to run on the Smart Screens in each mall. Adspace then produces a free 12-second spot for each selected offer, and incorporates the 10 spots into its six- minute loop of content and advertising. In a given week, there are over 1,000 "Today's Top Ten" spots running on the network.

Adspace research shows that 80 percent of people who visit a mall at least once per month felt that special values offered by retailers in the mall that day were important, ranking number one by far among other programming alternatives such as news and weather.

"Our ‘Today's Top Ten' on-air content is what shoppers want to see in the mall environment," said Jeff Jensen, president, Adspace Networks. "This content saves people time and money and is the driver of our strong viewership, as was recently confirmed by Nielsen."

In a 2007 Nielsen study, 47 percent of shoppers said they viewed the Smart Screens, and average commercial recall was 34 percent. Further, 77 percent of Adspace viewers agree that the Smart Screens are a good thing for malls to offer their customers, and 80 percent said they would look at them on their next visit.

Currently, the Adspace Mall Network is reaching more than 100 million shoppers each month, on over 1,300 screens in 102 malls nationwide. Some major national brands that have utilized Adspace's "Today's Top Ten" program include JCPenney, Helzberg Diamonds, Macy's, Sephora, Barnes & Noble, New York & Company, H&M, Charlotte Russe, Ann Taylor, Sharper Image and Dillards, among many others.
