Bank Leumi - a smart approach

We turn our attention next to the hot digital signage market in Israel. Bank Leumi, one of Israel’s oldest and biggest banks, has implemented a digital signage system in roughly 170 of its branches. The network was installed in June 08 by TVeez and used TVeez' Marketing Intelligence Platform and Minicom’s Audio Visual Display System (AVDS).

A unique feature of the Leumi network is the identification of key customer information and the automatic targeting of content based on a marketing profile.

The signage platform is linked into the bank teller stations and key information regarding customers is passed to the TVeez platform and matched to a profile. Using the banks own defined marketing rules the TVeez platform then pulls promotional and educational content relevant to the customer. The content is then displayed on the teller channel for the customer to view while waiting to finish their transaction. This is a more sophisticated approach of targeting content to screens to increase relevancy to the customers in the branch than the more commonly used approach of programming a loop.

Additionally the platform has the capability of displaying content of different lengths depending on the time of day and volume of customers in the branch.

TVeez has made available some results from the network that we are displaying here- more detailed information regarding the project is available from the TVeez website.

* Targeted messages at the teller station resulted in 120% more enquiries at the
teller
* An increase of 23% in purchases of financial services – loans, credit cards, CDs, securities, and more
* 42% increase in sales revenues
* 57% increase in customer satisfaction

We think this is an exciting approach to a digital signage solution. In the same way that the internet industry developed smarter ways of marketing through making content more relevant to the viewer, digital signage must follow suit. We must also congratulate Bank Leumi on having the vision required to implement a more advanced solution.
