“Brand” vs. “Activation” Content
Brand
Activated
Cereal (80/20)
Beer (70/30)
Soft drink (65/35)
Gasoline (55/45)

Purchase decisions are made based in part on a brand perception, and in part because the buying
decision is motivated (or activated) by point-of-purchase (POP) marketing and promotion
approaches. This chart shows examples of the typical proportion of buying propensity. (i.e. 80% of
a cereal purchase is motivated by branding and 20% by POP activation).

C. VIEWERS
Objectives can change for different times of the month, week or day, so try
to be specific relative to a viewer demographic. You might want to
describe these multiple viewers in the form of a matrix, and correlate this
to the objectives. Information about the demographic profile of the viewer
(age ranges, gender, etc.) will be helpful in content creation.
10. The targeted viewers of the network content include….
11. The content is also being viewed by….
12. The activity that viewers typically do while near the network display are..
13. A typical duration of time near the display is…
14. The number of times that a viewer likely sees the display in a given
period is…

Dear X,
While at the x, I noticed how the Digital
Signage was x, y and z. Such displays
could be useful to you/us in x, y and z.
Having looked into it, there are many
examples of similar uses by other x.
Can we set up a time to discuss this?
