Recently I was reading a blog and I found a post with this cool idea.
In a barber shop we spend around 15 to 20 minutes for a haircut or a shave or a head massage. We sit there looking at the mirror, and unfortunately there is nothing else we can do. So if an advertisement is placed on the mirror, every customer will see it. Every customer will have to look at it for 15 minutes, and the penetration is very high.
To enhance this idea, what if we place a low cost, centrally controlled LED display on which the advertisement changes periodically, more value can be derived out of this idea. The Text on the LED display can be controlled from the internet.
And I recently met a company (Carinov Systems) doing digital signage, they have developed the technology to send video ads to remote TV screens. May be they can set up a TV screen in every barber shop.
ya thats a great idea…
but i do wonder then where ‘ll we view our reflection,if the mirror is full of ads ???
how can the customer see,whats the saloon have done to his head n face???
please give a reply to my humble doubt…

Put ads only at the bottom or the top, without blocking the mirror view.

Hi, In barber shop mirron is placed because it is needed. Otherwise we can’t see what the barber is doing. Also i can’t agree with this idea , because it forces one to see ads even in barbar shop.
