Wal-Mart chooses EK3

EK3 Technologies, a Canadian-based digital merchandising and narrowcasting company, has signed an exclusive agreement to install EK3 digital merchandising solutions in Wal-Mart Canada stores, says Mediacaster.

Under the agreement, EK3 and its subsidiary company ShopCast, will install the narrowcasting system in 60 stores by the end of 2007 and eventually in all Wal-Mart Canada locations.

EK3`s narrowcasting digital signage systems use a retailer`s unique business data and customer buying trends to customise streaming video displays with the right messages at the right time, which builds customer loyalty and drives sales.
