Two sales directors give their views on why agencies should buy into the emerging medium of retail TV and why shoppers should bother to watch it.
STUART CHAMBERS - RETAIL SALES DIRECTOR, AVANTI SCREENMEDIA
- Who are your major clients?
In leisure, we have a network of more than 1,000 bars, including contracts with pub groups such as Litten Tree, and a number of gyms. We also run a 21-site screenmedia network for The Mall and ten shopping centres across the UK. We've also run trials for retailers, including Boots. On the brand side, clients include O2, BMW, Smirnoff, Fuji, Southern Comfort, Garnier, CKOne and Levi's.

It may have been muted initially and there's still a long way to go, but as more research has become available, advertisers are really warming to the medium. More than six out of ten media buyers now agree retail TV gives an audience that is receptive to advertising.
