advertise me was recently engaged by LJ Hooker in Eastwood NSW Australia to implement a digital signage Video wall. Here’s the case study:

The requirements

The main requirements were to:

• Install a video wall to display real estate properties and staff profiles
• Replace static listings with dynamic content
• Minimise the effort required to update information on the video wall

The solution

The solution included the following hardware:

• x4 40″ LCD Ultra Slim Samsung Screens
• x2 Stainless Steel Poles
• x1 Digital Signage Shuttle Player
• x1 HDMI Splitter
• Various cables (HDMI, Serial, CAT6)
• Integration with the LJ Hooker E2 system

The video wall was chosen as a strategic marketing decision to attract more customers to look at the amazing screens and their property listing. By using the Ultra Slim Samsung screens the video wall definitely attracted the attention to people passing by. Within a few minutes of turning on the system, people actually noticed the screen and stopped. The owner made a comment that this was the first time he saw that many people stop at the front of his office window.

Advertise Me is a digital advertising solutions company and developed an in-house solution to integrate the LJ Hooker’s E2 system with their digital signage software. This meant that there was no effort required from staff when updating the listing on the screens as this was managed all via the LJ Hooker E2 system. The screens are used to display 4 property listings and then switches to display a real estate agent’s profile with the properties they manage. As an added feature, Advertise Me developed a plugin to display the real estate properties on a Google Map and also developed a custom RSS content creator for the real estate agents to quickly and easily display messages on their profile page.

Advertise Me is looking at expanding this solution to other real estate agencies next year. They will be also launching their Real Estate SMS solution which is currently being trialled by a Real Estate agency in Sydney, so it looks like it will be a busy year for Advertise Me.
