SEATTLE, Aug. 4, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Limelight Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB:LMMG) an innovator in the content, creation and management of out-of-home digital advertising networks, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Shop 'n Save Warehouse Foods, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri, a wholly owned subsidiary of Supervalu Inc., to provide a digital advertising system in stores throughout Missouri and Illinois. Shop 'n Save originally had 19 stores installed by a previous digital signage company. Limelight will be re-installing digital screens in these original 19 stores. Additionally, the contract calls for Limelight to install its digital media systems in another 16 locations bringing the total to 35 Shop 'n Save grocery stores throughout the region, with the potential of adding the system to more stores as they are opened. Limelight expects the re-installations to be completed within 45 days. Limelight is re-installing digital screens in these initial stores after the original provider for the predecessor company removed its screens.
Retailers use Limelight's digital signage solutions at the point-of-purchase to enhance the customer shopping experience by directing patrons to items the retailer wishes to promote and improve in-store communications. The highly targeted advertising system enables advertisers to customize content with promotional messages geared to variables such as: buyer demographics, time of day, language or aisle location.
David Lott, CEO of Limelight Media Group, is extremely pleased with the opportunity to expand the company's relationship with Shop 'n Save. "This agreement signifies a major step for Limelight and authenticates the value that this technology can bring to retailers in the grocery sector and a variety of other industries."
Russ Achelpohl, Senior Vice President of Merchandising, reinforced the benefit of the system to shoppers and advertisers alike. "Shoppers who have seen the system at our stores have confirmed that their shopping trip is more informative and provides useful food preparation ideas. Likewise, advertisers appreciate the opportunity to provide a targeted, meaningful message to in-store shoppers."
