19. Display Advertising Mirrors
interactive advertising mirrors

20. Target consumers in a unique and highly focused viewing
environment
This new and ingenious form of advertising offers the perfect
solution to communicate with people when they are most
attentive, when looking at themselves. The AdMirror allows
customers to be targeted in a unique and highly focused
viewing environment.
Working exactly like a regular mirror until electronically activated
AdMirror uses two way glass and intelligent lighting to reveal
anything from 1 full size promotional image up to 6 A4 or 4 A3
promotional advertisements of which are displayed from inside
the device using a preset lighting sequence. Adverts can be set
to appear at random in a story board sequence or in a mix with
several different branded messages. Adverts disappear as
people come within a set distance from the mirror and reappear
as they begin to walk away, enabling the mirror to still be used
but advertisers can guarantee that their messages are still being
seen.
Customers will be attracted to read simply because its new, intriguing and captivating.

21. The vanity of general public can only count as a bonus for
advertisers. Washroom visitors cannot resist a peek of
themselves in the mirror and so have no choice but to see the
advertising.
Who would benefit:
o Beauty Salons
o Wash Rooms
o Shopping Centres
o Bars
o Hotels
o Supermarkets
o Airports
o Railway Stations
Research tells us that following a recent trial in some of
London’s bars and clubs, for every 100 people that visited the
washroom over the course of an evening 63% could recall
seeing the adverts but more importantly they could remember
the name of the advertiser.
More than 90% also said that they found the advertising
mirrors more memorable than standard washroom posters.

22. Projection Systems
interactive wall, floor and window projections systems

23. Engage customers, command
attention and drive business results.
Blue Apricot are also creators and
suppliers of innovative audio visual
effects including Interactive
Floor & Wall Projection Systems.

interactive, eye catching, new wave
medium that will transform any space
or environment into dynamic POS display
platform to promote brand awareness,
launch new products and services etc.
Typical applications include floor
projections, event branding, signage
solutions and general logo projection.
Digital projection offers an impressive means of displaying full motion content and presents several advantages over LCD and
Plasma screens.
Interactive projection systems project bright, vivid images from low maintenance units to any floor, window or wall and also offers
the advantage of being able to scan an image around any room or venue etc. The projection system can be set up virtually
anywhere other than in direct sunlight and takes minimal time to set up.
Blue Apricot’s expertise lies in combining the right digital projector with front and rear projection screens which have specific optical
properties to deliver truly daylight readable images.

24. An interactive projection system reacts to movement and using
either hands or feet, users are encouraged to interact.
This is a versatile system that captures attention and draws
people into your brand whilst delivering an entertaining and
memorable interactive experience.
Unlike traditional advertising, Interactive Projection Systems
include the customer in the advertising experience. Whether
customers wipe away one picture to reveal another, step on
animated buttons to access launch videos, flip virtual floor tiles to
reveal product information or kick virtual objects around the
screen, it’s an interactive experience that they won’t forget.
In the out of home advertising world, everything from
billboards, to taxi signs and supermarket displays are going
digital. People will pay far more attention to ads that are
moving as it makes the advertising experience that much more
memorable consequently leading to more time spent with the
ad, which then translates into better advertising recall.
Recent studies found that interactive advertising had a 41.3%
unaided recall rate and when surveyed, 50% of consumers
also remembered seeing the advertisement on a previous visit.
