Data Integration:

Complementary, the use of geofence and location data, can enrich the depth of the audience’s profiles and give retargeting mobile IDs which is essential for OOH to be part of an omnichannel strategy. These two methods combined will allow marketers to get precise and rich data on consumer behavior and preferences, enabling them to create more personalized campaigns and have clear ROIs.
Gesture and Motion Detection:
DOOH devices will increasingly incorporate gesture and motion detection capabilities. As much as allowing marketers to create more immersive and interactive ad experiences. This will enable advertisers to engage with consumers in more engaging and memorable ways.
