Motorway Service Areas (MSAs) are the ultimate high-intent retail environments. According to Landlord Annual Reports for Non-Fuel Spend, a significant 81% of visitors make a purchase during their stop. This represents an important audience with a clear buying mindset, looking to spend on refreshments, travel essentials, and gifts.
To help brands tap into this active economy, we are excited to announce the launch of our new WHSmith D4 retail screensstrategically positioned where the stop becomes a shop. These wall-mounted, full-motion screens are located within the WHSmith store within the MSA, the exact moment where impulse buying decisions are made.
i-media also has recently launched end of aisle Gondola screens in WHSmith stores nationwide to inspire and capture the impulse purchase opportunity for customers en route to the till.
While the road is about movement, the MSA is about the pause. With an extended average dwell time of 22 minutes, motorists are no longer just drivers; they are relaxed, browsing consumers. This period of downtime provides a rare opportunity for brands to connect with an audience that is physically steps away from the point of purchase.
