Why ActiVia? The STRATACACHE Difference Lottery Digital

Lottery Digital Signage
Use Case At-A-Glance
Challenge
One nationally recognized convenience store chain prides
itself on offering customers high-quality products combined
with exceptional service. With a top-notch staff and an
array of merchandise, the c-store chain wanted to up the
ante. Throughout seven high-volume stores in active metropolitan areas, the chain noticed a gradual increase in lottery
ticket sales and began investigating ways to maximize these
transactions and further uplift sales.
Solution
Reflecting the chain’s dedication to its customers, facility
management wanted to enhance consumer communication,
create an enduring relationship with lottery ticket patrons,
and ultimately drive lottery sales. The chain incorporated
digital signage at ticket counters to entice customers to purchase lottery tickets, communicate jackpot totals, promote
winning lottery numbers, and cross-sell/up-sell lottery and
store merchandise.
Result
Each of the seven c-store locations mounted 19-inch highdefinition displays at lottery checkout counters appropriately
positioned in front of a captive audience. By optimizing the
lottery checkout with more eye-catching displays, all seven
locations have increased lottery ticket sales and strengthened marketing and sales initiatives. The stores also experienced incremental increases in ticket sales among repeat
and first-time lottery customers. Additionally, store associates spend less time conducting transactions with customers, thus decreasing wait-time.

Drive Lottery Sales with Digital Signage
Maximize the Lottery Experience
Award-Winning Digital Signage Software
Each year, lotteries contribute millions of dollars to worthy causes
such as education funding and key government programs. Yet, tremendous opportunity still exists for lotteries to grow sales by implementing digital signage to optimize lottery checkpoints and make
point-of-sale displays much more appealing. In-store digital signage
networks have proven to deliver great impact in retail environments.
Lottery merchants can advertise jackpot totals, winning numbers,
new games and much more. In an industry where jackpot levels are
a key selling tool, increased awareness optimizes participation levels
and boosts ticket sales at the point of purchase where spontaneous
purchase decisions are made. By leveraging in-store digital signage,
retailers will benefit from maintaining current customers, as well as
attracting new ones.
As technology continues to evolve, digital signage plays an integral
role in creating a unique, unforgettable lottery player experience. A
