The Role of Data Analytics in DOOH Advertising

In the age of information, data analytics has emerged as the cornerstone of effective advertising. Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, the vibrant, dynamic cousin of traditional out-of-home media, is no stranger to this revolution. As the founder of ATM.TV, a leading DOOH HD video advertising provider in over 8,500 U.S. 7-Eleven® stores, I have seen firsthand the power of data analytics in transforming the advertising landscape.

Understanding Your Audience with Data

With a reach of 5 billion people annually, as verified by GeoPath, DOOH advertising at 7-Eleven® stores offers unparalleled exposure. The big question is, how do we ensure that this exposure counts? The answer lies in data analytics.

By analyzing consumer data, we can understand who is seeing our ads, when they are seeing them, and how they are interacting with them. This allows us to tailor content that resonates with the audience, much like how over 150 notable advertisers, including giants like AT&T, Goodyear, Lotto, Amazon, Hershey’s, Reese’s, and Chase Bank, ensure their messages hit home.

Trivia: Did you know that the average 7-Eleven® customer visits the store two to three times a week? This frequent engagement provides a rich dataset for analyzing consumer habits and preferences.

Geo-Targeting: The Next Frontier

Data analytics also empowers advertisers with geo-targeting capabilities. By understanding where consumers are and how they move, DOOH advertising can be strategically placed to maximize visibility and relevance.

Imagine an ad for Goodyear tires appearing on screens at 7-Eleven® stores near auto service centers, or a Chase Bank promotion popping up in areas with high foot traffic of potential banking customers. This isn’t just smart advertising; it’s advertising that’s informed and precise.

Measuring Success with Data

The beauty of DOOH advertising, especially in a network as vast as 7-Eleven®, is the ability to measure campaign success with real numbers. Data analytics enables advertisers to track impressions, engagement, and even sales lift from their campaigns.

For instance, when Amazon runs a promotion through ATM.TV at 7-Eleven® stores, they can correlate ad exposure to online activity and purchases. This direct line from ad to action is a game-changer in the industry.

Crafting Stories That Stick

At its heart, advertising is about storytelling. Data analytics helps us craft stories that not only stick but also spread. By understanding the demographics, psychographics, and behavioral patterns of our audience, we can create narratives that resonate deeply.

For example, Hershey’s and Reese’s might use data to identify the perfect time to run a sweet treat campaign, targeting moments when customers are most likely to indulge.

The Feedback Loop

Finally, data analytics is not a one-and-done deal. It’s about creating a feedback loop that continuously refines and improves advertising strategies. With each campaign, more data pours in, offering insights for the next one.

This is how ATM.TV helps advertisers stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that each ad placed in the 7-Eleven® network is smarter than the last.

Fun Fact: ATM.TV sees an average of 10-12 minute dwell times at 7-Eleven® stores, providing a significant window for engaging customers with compelling content.

In conclusion, data analytics in DOOH advertising isn’t just a tool; it’s the compass that guides the journey of an ad from creation to conversion. At ATM.TV, we’re committed to leveraging this power to help our clients, which include some of the most notable brands in the world, achieve unprecedented reach and engagement.
