Today’s “on-the-move” internet users generate millions of page views per year. Perhaps surprisingly, this is still a virtually untapped target audience; a fact that has been taking into account by Blusens and Calimanet. Given their higher income profile and significant spending power, these users represent a significant target audience that advertisers covet. Blusens has defined a strategy to connect global public networks directly to highly mobile internet users.
Both parties will offer as well an advanced technology that enables property managers to increase their in-room revenue through advertising in captive internet portals, IPTV systems and Digital Signage deployments which will enhance CAPEX and offer increased ROI.
Blusens has a wide range of adPORTAL and Digital Signage solutions as well as SMATV products for signal distribution of Terrestrial and Satellite TV broadcasts in residential, hospitality and gated community developments.
According to Miguel Silva, Vice-president and Co-founder at Blusens Global Corporation, “we are very happy to see that one of the most proactive Hotel Management Companies in the Middle East is continuously looking to enhance their technological offer. Especially when we are talking about direct advertising in a region where the traditional Ad Channels lack the penetration they have in other markets. We are confident that this is just the beginning of a long term co-operation between our two companies with regards to in-room advertising, entertainment and interactivity”.
