In everything people do today they expect personalization. In the retail world, giving customers an experience beyond just the product is essential to the survival of the brick-and-mortar environment.

Driving the industry towards better customization for shoppers today is data. E-commerce has enjoyed an innate advantage over physical spaces because of the ease of developing shopper profiles online. Now though, digital signage is helping brands learn about shoppers and their behaviors.

“We can see where the customers walk, how many come in, where they dwell, where they hang out, and that’s very beneficial,” Joe Kokinda, Director, Data Science and Analytics at Stratacache said. “That’s very beneficial because it’s not that you’re playing content because you think people will like it, we now know who the customers are, where they’re standing and what they’re seeing.”

As more and more data points are gathered, content will continue to be tailored and refined to better match what customers are looking for in a given situation, whether it is based on demographics, shopper history or simply what is going on in the world on a given day.

“If we happen to know, based on POS data points being sent to us, ‘hey we actually sell a lot more milkshakes when it rains, it’s a really weird coincidence’, now we can infer that on digital menu boards. Pull in the content so you’re driving that subconscious of helping [customers] make the decisions for them, while giving them the breadth to choose items,” Cory Keisel, Business Development, QSR, at Stratacache said.

The combination of data and content is allowing brick-and-mortars to interact with customers on a personal level and DSE 2019 proved that digital signage is providing the outlet to achieve results.

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

Bose Professional launched the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular speaker whose 3.5 kg boxes are angled to keep sound off echoey ceilings. Coverage control moves into the integrator's design. Splay angles, amplifier choice and a recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter decide results in houses of worship, classrooms and corporate rooms.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA's Meeting Room as a Service brings room design, procurement, monitoring, support, refresh and recycling together under one model. Its Aon project in Brazil tripled videoconferencing capacity and lifted client meetings 50% over two years.

  • 01When a room fails, people tend to move rather than report it, so service desk tickets often miss the rooms that are actually broken. Centralized monitoring targets that gap.
  • 02Aon’s Brazil project tripled videoconferencing capacity and raised client meetings 50% over two years. It’s a vendor-reported reference point buyers can use when asking providers for comparable results.
  • 03The case for one lifecycle contract is strongest where each country picked its own vendors and integrators. A company that only needs utilization data can buy room analytics software without handing over the whole lifecycle.

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA named Marco Pardi, President of the Tech Events portfolio at Informa, as CEO starting January 1, 2027. He succeeds David Labuskes. Pardi's background running IT shows suggests AV's overlap with IT will keep getting attention, though AVIXA has not committed to that. Watch AVIXA's 2027 show calendar and course catalog.

  • 01AVIXA's events and learning audiences overlap with incoming CEO Marco Pardi's experience; audience counts alone do not explain the board's priorities.
  • 02One read on the hire is whether IT-crossover training like Glass to Glass expands under Pardi.
