Digital signage company Arena Digital has completed a project for builders' merchant Buildbase, which saw a bespoke in-store television channel rolled out in all 150 of Buildbase's UK branches.

The content was developed by Arena Digital's design studio, in collaboration with Buildbase's marketing department, and includes full-motion video detailing quarterly promotions, corporate information and details on products and services. A content management platform from Saturn Communications, ConnectVision, was chosen for the project. It allows branch managers to add messages relevant to their specific shops, as well as 'near instantaneous' transmission or revised or new programming throughout the network.

Arena Digital adds that 40" (1.02cm) Samsung MX embedded LCD panels with mobile broadband connectivity comprised the hardware side of the project.

"It's been great for us to be associated with an industry leader like Buildbase," says Carl Rogers, managing director of Arena Digital. "Working in conjunction with our clients, Saturn and Samsung, we believe we've created an ideal platform for increasing awareness of the Buildbase brand, products and services. Further, the ease and speed with which promotions can be rolled out at both a national and branch level should result in a significant sales uplift."
