Charlotte, NC (Jan. 18, 2012) – Digital signage innovator Vital Media® announces the launch of dB TV™ (www.whiletheywait.com/m/dbtv), the company’s latest in-store digital media display solution designed to engage, entertain and inform customers at retail and in waiting areas. dB TV displays a retailer, dealer or brand’s customized product and service messages alongside live TV programming of the retailer’s choice. According to Ben Stagg, director of research and development at Vital Media, this makes dB TV ideal for use in waiting and retail areas for automotive, motorcycle, power sports and outdoor power equipment dealers and aftermarket providers.
“dB TV exposes customers to the ideal blend of entertainment and relevant, timely marketing messages while they wait, maximizing each and every sales opportunity,” said Stagg. “Not only does it inform, remind and influence customers at the point of purchase with digital ads, but it entertains them with live TV programming as well. When customers are entertained, their perceived wait time is shortened, which reflects positively on their overall experience and encourages repeat business.”

dB TV, the latest digital signage solution from Vital Media
For its inaugural dB TV program, Vital Media is partnering with MICHELIN® and BFGoodrich® tires to offer the solution to MAST. MICHELIN and BFGoodrich advertisements will rotate across the bottom portion of the screen, while full-motion dealer ads will rotate across the right-hand side of the screen. The remaining 70% of the screen will function like a normal TV, enabling dealers to tune the channel and utilize cable or satellite service if desired. Available as a turnkey solution complete with 40- or 46-inch television display and installation, or as a conversion solution able to retrofit to an existing television, dB TV is eligible for 100% co-op and AMF reimbursement.
