The InStore Broadcasting Network and Cuesol, a company that provides a high-tech shopping cart equipped with a digital personal shopping assistant dubbed the Shopping Buddy, have joined forces for a test designed to “surround” shoppers with a multimedia advertising experience.
IBN will deliver instore messages via its audio and video platforms in the store; those messages will be combined and integrated with Cuesol’s Shopping Buddy, writes MediaPost.
