However, the most crowded places will not always be the best for promoting content. Sometimes it is better to choose locations where the target audience of our brand usually stays – having a specific consumer awareness and habits. The advertising message should be addressed to a specific group of recipients.

The big advantage of the screens is a dynamic message that captures attention more than standard paper posters.

People using parcel machine panel will have to watch the advertisement in order to go to the stage of collecting the parcel. The video message can be additionally supported by graphic advertisements placed on the front of the machine. Using a parcel machine as an advertising medium enables also targeting and geotargeting options.

An alternative to the aforementioned solutions may be engaging advertising spots. They make it possible to convey a lot of content in a relatively short period of time, and on top of that they give an opportunity to tell stories which will arouse emotions of the consumer. Video marketing may include a multimedia presentation, a video presentation expanded with content boards or an advertising spot in the form of a film or animation.
