Smart Q & Shop

The Smart Q & Shop solution is another gem in Smart Media's treasure chest of in-store advertising offerings. Dis-Chem stores often witness high dwell times and queues in the over-the-counter (OTC) and dispensary areas of the store. This makes these placements prime real estate for targeted advertising. Smart Q & Shop units transform regular queuing infrastructure into captivating advertising mediums, providing a seamless and engaging shopping experience for customers waiting in line. The SKU capabilities, providing secondary product placements, offer brands the ability to leverage these moments of high consumer attention to maximise exposure and drive increased rates of sales.
