For the first time in the region EFI and Saga DG present SmartSign Analytics (SSA) delivering valuable analytic data on signage that enables marketers to understand and measure the effectiveness of their printed signs. Each sign equipped with EFI SmartSign Analytics is equipped with a webcam connected to a computer or tabled running the software. The webcam detects the presence of people within viewing range as well as determines which of those people are actually viewing the sign. Using patterns detected by the webcam, SSA logs information on the number of viewers, their gender and age range, which content was viewed and how much time was spent viewing a particular signage. EFI Smart Sign Analytics delivers a host of data that advertisers did not have before. Data collected from SmartSign Analytics can be aggregated to help analyzing performance, identifying trends and determination of the most effective signage engagements based upon the demography profile of your target audience. By merging the data from many signs a powerful reporting engine delivering valuable data to be used to make timely business decisions can thus be established.
