    In summary, this years survey indicates a profound shift in banks understanding and

    use of digital signage. Whereas in prior surveys, banks have taken an evaluative stance

    toward digital mediaengaging in low-risk trials to assess its effectiveness and

    applicability in their environmentstodays respondents are committed to full-scale

    deployments and perfecting their use of this new media.

    I. Attitudes Toward the Branch and POS Marketing

    Despite explosive growth in internet and mobile banking channels, nearly all

    respondents said the branch was asor moreimportant to their bank than ve

    years ago.

    At the same time, 85% believe the role of the branch will change in the coming years,

    reecting a long-time industry desire to re-cast the branch as a sales, versus service,

    channel.

    Providing customer service is widely considered to be the main role of the branch, with

    revenue generation close behind.

    Nearly all respondents believe point-of-sale marketing is important to the success of

    the branch, with only 2% considering it of minor importance.

    As a result, banks in all regions say spending on point-of-sale will stay the same or

    increase in 2013.

    American banks rely on point-of-sale marketing to provoke inquiries, whereas

    European banks are more likely to see it as a support for staff sales efforts and/or a

    way to improve the overall customer experience.

    On the other hand, European banks were considerably more likely to measure point-of-

    sale effectiveness.

    Those who do not plan to implement digital signage say strategic tas well as up-

    More than half of respondents have already trieddigital signage. Another quarter plan to do so inthe next 24 months.

    A desire for more attention-grabbing messaging, enhanced communications shelf

    space, the opportunity for more locally relevant messaging and improved branch

    appearance are the most common reasons for deploying digital signage.

    Have you implemented digital signage? Do you believe your bank will begin implementing

    digital signage within the next 12-24 months?

    Banks are more apt to rollout than ever beforeeven though they are only moderately satisfed

    with their networks.Of those who have begun implementation, nearly 70% have already rolled out or plan

    to rollout. Only 8% of those who have implemented digital signage have stalled plans

    for rollout, greatly reduced from 30% in the last Ryan Report. Reasons for stalling

    rollout include an inability to prove ROI, lack of internal support and the amount of

    up-front and ongoing operating costs.

    Banks generally aggressive rollout plans are surprising, given that only half developed

    a business case and less than one-third actually measured the success of their

    programs.

    III. Digital Signage Programming

    About half of respondents developed a programming strategy prior to implementing

    digital signage. In the majority of cases, this involved a mix of bank and non-bank

    messaging.

    about 50% in last years survey.

    While banks cite message localization as one of the top 3 reasons for adopting digital

    signage, most have yet to do so. Indeed, the number of banks that are localizing

    messages has actually decreased since our last survey.

    Among banks that engage in message localization, half say they have faced challenges

    in doing so. Targeting methods continue to be quite basic, with region- or branch-level

    targeting far surpassing more sophisticated, data-driven targeting approaches.

    Social media has yet to inuence digital signage content. No respondents

    reported using digital screens to convey social media feeds and less than 5%

    had explored integration of mobile devices.

    To some extent, these ndings parallel trends in retail. According to a recent

    study by ExactTarget, less than 10% of 100 Hot Retailers in the U.S. have

    begun promoting social media through in-store signage.

    IV. IT and Infrastructure Considerations

    Bank WAN/LAN is the most common digital signage delivery network.

    IT was involved in the decision process at 75% of banks deploying digital signage.

    This represents a signicant increase over last years survey. Marketing was solely

    responsible for the decision in less than 25% of cases.

    The need for a more collaborative decision-making process was a key nding in last

    years report, and this is clearly now the norm.

    V. ChallengesDespite widespread enthusiasm, banks continue to encounter signicant hurdles in

    successfully realizing digital signage benets.

    Message localization topped the list of frustrations, with nearly half of banks naming it

    as a key day-to-day challengea marked increase over last years survey.

    Content management was also a notable challenge with cost of content creation and

    ease of use of the content management system remaining widely faced problems. The

    percentage of banks reporting these issues has increased in both cases since last

    years report.

    Interestingly, the percentage of banks that had faced content cost and CMS issues

    was signicantly greater in Europe than America. By contrast a greater percentage of

    American banks had encountered localization challenges.

    Nearly a third of respondents met challenges surrounding bandwidth availability or

    other IT related concerns.

    While the overall percentage of banks facing general IT issues has fallen slightly since

    last years report, the percentage of banks facing bandwidth challenges has actually

    increased.

    Notably, a higher percentage of European banks faced bandwidth availability issues

    compared to their U.S. counterparts.

    Meanwhile, a number of banks faced difculties around daily workow processes

    with more than 15% reporting problems with the approval process for new content

    and 1 in 5 expressing concern over the number of FTEs required. Fifteen percent of

    respondents also said they expect the number of required FTEs to increase as more

    branches are rolled out.

    On the other hand, FTE concerns have decreased considerably since last year, where

    more than a third of respondents placed it among the top 3 challenges. Indeed, the

    percentage of banks continue to face challenges around the number of FTE resources

    required to manage their networkwith almost 20% of banks citing this as a

    key challenge.

    The percentage of banks requiring 3 or more FTEs to manage their networks has also

    decreased from nearly 40% last year to less than 30% this year.

    Fifteen percent of respondents expected the number of required FTEs to increase as

    more branches were rolled out and over a third remained unsure.

    While these challenges are not expected to curb the rapid adoption of digital signage,

    they emphasize the importance of detailed and holistic planning when approaching

    this complex medium.

    The physical store is going

    to remain central to the

    shopping experience, but

    the walls are coming down.

    Customers are going towant an updated, unique

    experience in stores, and

    retailers will need to gure

    out what exactly they want

    and how to give it

    to them.

    -Lisa Gomez,

    Senior Manager Retail,

    Deloitte Consulting, LLP

    We begin our examination of the Hot 100 Retailers on their home turftheir brick

    and mortar stores. 95 of the Hot 100 Retailers operate such stores, and in theory, any

    retailer with a physical presence has the potential for a huge home eld advantage

    with consumersbut only if they leverage it. They own the store frontage, window

    displays, door decals, in-store signage, employee training, customer service and the

    checkout process. Yes, the consumer may have a smartphone in their hand, but smart

    retailers have ample opportunities to develop a deeper level of engagement once

    consumers step into the store.

    With this in mind, our research team visited a representative store for each of the95 retailers. During these visits, we walked the entire store, interacted with store

    associates, and purchased at least one item. This allowed our team to document

    how the following touchpoints were being used to facilitate email, mobile, and social

    audience growth and engagement:

    In-store signage

    Employee engagement

    Sales receipts

    While a number of the retailers surveyed impressed us with their efforts to turn

    consumers into subscribers, fans, and followers, a surprising number appear to beunderutilizing their home eld advantage.

    If it is the job of the retailer to create and enhance the customer experience, the

    employees of brick and mortar retailers are fundamental to that experience. Employees

    need to be attuned to the needs of in-store consumers and ensure customers

    have a positive experience. In many ways, the best store associates help create an

    environment in which consumers not only want to purchase, but also want to engagewith the brand in a deeper, more meaningful way such that the trip to the register isnt

    just to make a purchase, but also to grant permission for ongoing communications.

    During our store visits, we documented employee behaviors both in-aisle and during

    checkout. In doing so, we found that of the Hot 100 Retailers with physical stores, 62%

    had employees trained to seek data from consumers at point of sale. However, only

    44% of the retailers with stores asked for a customers email address at point-of-sale.

    Furthermore, while at the register, we observed two types of data being acquired

    by employees:

    PERSONAL DATA:any piece of information that speaks solely to an individual (for

    example, phone number, email, purchase history and rst name)

    GEOGRAPHIC DATA:any piece of information that speaks to the geography or

    demographic (for example, zip code and addresses)

    Of all the data acquired at point-of-sale, 80% was personal data. Well discuss later in

    this report whether this personal data led to more personalized

    communications. (Hint: It didnt.)

    The Sales ReceiptThe sales receipt presents two distinct opportunities for marketers. First, it is aface-to-face opportunity to secure permission to send a postsale communication in

    the form of a digital receipt via email. When purchased items are expensive, under

    warranty, or have a possibility of return or exchange, consumers view the email

    receipt as a customer service. Nevertheless, we found that only 2 of the Hot 100

    Retailers with physical stores (2%) offered digital copies of receipts via email.

    Retailers who offer email receipts create an immediate and permission based

    communication opportunity to communicate with each customer. While each receipt

    is a one-off communication, the retailer can also include a call-to-action to subscribeto ongoing email communications, engage via Facebook or Twitter, and even rate

    products online. The key is not to let any promotions overwhelm the transactional

    nature of the messageand to make sure such communications comply with

    Federal and State laws such as Californias Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971*.

    Navigate the legal waters properly, and the simple sales receipt becomes a powerful

    cog in the retail audience-building efforts.

    The second opportunity provided by sales

    receipts is much like in-store signage. Think

    about the coupons on the back of your

    grocery store receipt or the solicitation tocomplete a survey on the back of that fast

    food receipt. Both are highly visible efforts

    to extend consumer engagement beyond

    the initial purchase, and yet it would

    appear that the vast majority of the Hot

    100 Retailers arent leveraging this

    real estate.

    While well over half of the 95 Hot 100 retailers with stores included their webaddress on the receipt, only 5% actually did so with a specic call to action. We were

    encouraged, however, that over 25% of the in-store retailers (24 total) sought some

    type of feedback on the product or purchase process. In the age of social media,

    feedback can be a powerful marketing tool. Comments posted to Facebook, Twitter,

    Foursquare, and other social networks increase awareness of your brand and, if

    positive, have the potential to increase your foot trafc. Since retailers control every

    aspect of their receipts, we suspect that well see more efforts to use this real estate

    to engage social consumers post-purchase.

    RECOMMENDATIONSFOR IN-STORE ENGAGEMENT

    As our anonymous shopping efforts revealed, even the fastest growing retailers have ample room

    to improve their in-store audience building efforts. Just capturing the attention of 10% more of a

    stores foot traffic could translate into thousands more subscribers, fans, and followers with whom

    the retailer could communicate directly. Our advice to all brick and mortar retailers, therefore, is to:

    1 BE BOLD AND STRATEGICWITH SIGNAGEThe mere fact a consumer walks throughyour doors indicates some level of interest inyour brand. Put calls-to-action along theirin-store path that convey how, where, andwhy to engage with you via email, SMS,Facebook, or your other digital channels.Fortune (and audience growth) favors thebold.

    GET CREATIVE WITH SMS

    Whether smart or dumb, a majority ofcell phones these day have low cost or nocost text messaging capabilities. Test in-storeSMS calls-to-action that encourage custom-ers to try new products, shop clearance items,and purchase your overstocked items.

    2 EDUCATE AND INCENTIVIZESALES ASSOCIATESEmployees may love your brand, but mostwork for the paycheck. Incentivize your salesassociates on audience acquisition, andcoach them on how to encourage customersto engage your brand via social media andreview sites.

    4

    OPTIMIZE BOTH PRINT

    AND EMAIL RECEIPTS

    As the tangible evidence of a sale, receipts aresomething consumers have a tendency toreview and keep. Leverage that behavior toyour advantage by offering digital copies viaemail and by promoting your preferredchannels for feedback and social engagement.

    Remember, your stores provide you with a distinct home-field advantage. Put it to good use!
