Sleepy's soothes shopper environment with Mood Media's in-store media solutions
In-store media specialist to provide music, messaging and specialist
technology to more than 700 retail showrooms
CHARLOTTE, NC, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Mood Media Corporation (TSX:MM/
LSE AIM:MM), the leading in-store media specialist, has won a contract
to supply mattress retailer Sleepy's with in-store music and messaging
for more than 700 retail showrooms across the United States.
The music consultants at Mood Media have developed custom playlists for
use in-store comprised of major label artists. Popular Pop and Rock
hits will give the in-store soundtrack familiarity, and it will be
updated regularly to stay on top of music trends.
Targeted in-store messaging will broadcast across Sleepy's store
network, which allows Sleepy's to offer its vendors a way to promote
their brands. Sponsored vendor messages are store specific, enabled by
Mood Media's Internet enabled media player, a great communications tool
to broadcast promotions and drive sales at the point-of-purchase. With
Mood Media's proprietary and PCI compliant Internet-delivery media
platform, any message or song can be updated across the network of
stores within 15 minutes.
Further to the revenue Sleepy's may generate from vendor sponsored
messaging, Mood Media's sister company Mood Entertainment will supply
custom branded compilation CD's available for resale in select stores,
which will provide an additional revenue stream for Sleepy's at each of
their stores.
"At Sleepy's we pride ourselves on delivering great value to our
customers and as such we expect the same in return from our partners.
Mood Media was the one company that demonstrated that they understood
our philosophy and objectives. They went out of their way to make us
happy" said Angelo Volonakis, Director Planning, Design & Construction
at Sleepy's."
The features of the Media Player provided by Mood Media were an
important consideration for Sleepy's. The players are reliable and
energy efficient; sit securely on Sleepy's IT infrastructure and use
network bandwidth efficiently. Most updates are automatically scheduled
at night when network traffic is low, but when updates are made during
business hours the player will limit the amount of bandwidth used and
can preferentially update messages first so that updates don't conflict
with business-critical network traffic.
Mood Media will also provide quality in-store sound systems to all new
Sleepy's locations. The retailer expects to add 60 to 100 new locations
each year for the foreseeable future.
"Sleepy's is a legacy client of Muzak, the North American in-store media
business Mood Media acquired in May 2011," said Mood Media CEO and
Chairman Lorne Abony. "Because of that merger we can now combine
Muzak's large, reliable service network with Mood Media's
Internet-delivery platform and offer North American retailers a smart,
high-quality solution that represents a great value."
