Consumers can access Adspace Network Inc.’s Today’s Top Ten, editorial content about deals at local malls previously accessible on Smart Screens at retail locations, via a new mobile Web site.

The Adspace Digital Mall Network consists of 1,400, eight-an-nine-foot-tall plasma Smart Screens that show programming which combines a mix of the top 10 sale items in the mall, the hottest seasonal items available, mall events and local and national advertising.  The new mobile site lets shoppers select their local mall and scroll through the top offers for deals they might have missed.

“Seventy-five percent of our viewers would like the option to get the sale information that we air on the Smart Screens on a mobile device,” said William Ketcham, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Adspace Digital Mall Network, New York. “We see this as a convenience for shoppers that might have missed the details of an offer that they find appealing.”

The Today’s Top Ten content is a selection of merchandise and new product offerings selected by Adspace’s editorial staff for each mall in the network.  Each selected item is shown on the Smart Screens in a 12-second spot.

Mr. Ketcham said the target demographic is mall traffic, young males ages 13-24 and women of all ages.

Adspace Digital Mall Network said it is challenged to keep the mobile site with up-to-date with the current information deals and product spotlight.
