Increase your Twitter Followers
...and your other RSS feed exposure by having your link seen in a captive environment!
What are the benefits of advertising in a captive environment?
- A captive environment, is a target software application to a specific group of users
- The internet is not captive, even with efficient SEO and SEM, where you do not waste time and money on ineffective ad links back to your site
- You benefit from the distribution work of the software publisher. Just imagine if you were able to put an advertisement link on each one of Microsoft's distribution CD's?
- You gain an instant 5,000 user and growing customer base!
- You have no competition, meaning more sales and profit for YOU!
An Example of Captive Marketing
Feel like Big Brother is watching? Can't escape the electronic eye? Then expect that sense of paranoia to increase as captive marketing takes off. Small video screens offering news, info-tainment and commercials have migrated from airplanes to taxi cabs, buses, elevators, stores, rest rooms and even the golf course.
These screens reach the captive audience. You can't get away when you're sitting on a bus, in a restroom stall, or in an elevator. There are no DVRs to fast forward through commercials; you can't even turn the television off like you could before the advent of the DVR. Companies offering these services know exactly what they have to give advertisers, and advertisers are buying it up.
Try these stats on for size:
- Captivate Network has installed 4,200 flat video screens in 400 North American office buildings to take full advantage of the six minutes per day office workers spend in elevators.
- Comedy Central promoted a new show by placing ads in 500 bar bathrooms in four cities.
- Seven companies are road testing their interactive video technology in 400 New York City taxis.
- If captive advertising tees you off, avoid the 21,960 golf carts fitted out with mounted screens.
- TransitTV has 8,400 screens mounted in 3,808 vehicles in five major US cities.
Transit Television
TransitTV operates in public transportation systems in five major cities: Los Angeles, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The majority of the 8,400 screens can be found in buses. They offer entertainment and information to commuters. Programming ranges from news headlines pulled from the major wire networks (such as AP and Reuters), to simple trivia and word games, to basic cooking techniques and recipes. TransitTV also offers customized weather reports for the city of origin, as well as specialized sports/weather combination segments.
In many of the markets, local programming is made available on the Transit TV network.
Despite all of this programming, the focus of transit TV is to offer advertisers a captive audience. This is summed up in the company’s tag line: One channel. No DVRs. Accurate Measurement. TransitTV offers a solution to all the complications that modern television viewing has brought to the traditional advertiser. In effect, TransitTV is extending the life of the classic 30-second television spot.
By providing an audience that can't get away, that is completely captive, TransitTV gets rid of the worst of traditional advertising headaches. By having only one channel, they avoid the channel surfing flipping from channel to channel to avoid commercials. There is no other channel for viewers to change to. Of course, there is no DVR on a screen in a bus. There is no way to skip the commercial. Just like the rest of the programming, the audience has no choice but to watch the advertisement.
TransitTV also offers accurate measurement. They offer accurate demographic breakdowns and profiles, as well as measured and accurate meters of advertising success. They monitor the rate of return for advertisers using their network.
