Visual Feeder Raises $1.7 Million —An Outdoor Network Of Visual Experiences
“Visual Feeder, a digital marketing technology company that transforms unoccupied commercial windows into digital displays to creatively connect brands with their consumers; raised a $1.7 million seed round of financing led by Sandalphon Capital and Blue Field Capital, along with investments from Techstars, Lair East Labs and several strategic angel investors”.

Visual Feeder transforms retail vacancies into immersive, digital displays with real-time engagement data and optional lidar-sensor elements that allow pedestrians to artistically interact with the display using projection mapping technology. This innovative strategy gives marketers a street-level platform to reach viewers with a higher percentage of engagement than traditional billboard advertising. Furthermore, Visual Feeder assists property owners in recovering utility from vacant spaces, making cash during periods of low occupancy while preserving a visually appealing frontage. “We are creating a new platform to bring digital content into physical spaces that manifests a winsome rather than intrusive experience around advertising, transforming how we interact with brands at a fundamental level. Art and technology continue to evolve together to enhance the world we live in today, and we are here to be a part of this evolution.” says The founders of Visual Feeder, siblings Eddie and Yaxi Yang. Given the pressure many stores are under owing to the pandemic, Visual Feeder's entry into the out-of-home advertising arena seems especially relevant. Retailers announced a total of 18,583 store closures from 2019 to 2020, according to Coresight statistics, as reported by CNBC in December 2021. “U.S. retail vacancy had already been a growing issue due to e-commerce and a shift in consumer behavior, but ever since COVID, we witnessed a huge influx of underutilized spaces,” says Visual Feeder CEO and cofounder, Eddie Yang. Cofounder Yaxi Yang elaborates, “We’re an outdoor network of visual experiences; vacant storefronts are a blank canvas for creative brands seeking to connect with consumers in new ways. Visual Feeder radically changes the experience of looking at vacant storefronts while providing property owners with an effortless solution for modernizing and monetizing their spaces until they are leased.” “Visual Feeder is a Chicago-based ad-tech startup redefining the outdoor advertising industry by turning unoccupied retail windows into engaging visual brand experiences using projection technology. Founded in 2020 by Eddie Yang and Yaxi Yang, Visual Feeder is on a mission to change the face of advertising and marketing by leveraging cutting-edge technology and creating a smart city ad network across with underutilized spaces. Since its founding, Visual Feeder has worked with some of the world’s largest brands, including Adidas, Lyft, Lululemon, Hilton Hotels, etc.” (oohtoday.com/visual-feeder-raises-1-7-million/_)

4 Proven Approaches to Measure the True Performance of Your Out-of-Home Advertising Campaigns
Many marketers wrongly believe that outdoor advertising cannot be measured as a performance channel, and that out-of-home measurement choice is confined to awareness-oriented metrics like impressions, reach, and frequency linked with specified demographics. Nothing could be further from the truth in 2021. With the right partner, you can enjoy OOH measurement on par with digital media.
Out-of-Home Advertising Tactics to Reach B2B Audiences
Out-of-home (OOH) advertising is often associated with billboards and street furniture. Although those are viable ad formats, out-of-home advertising provides a wealth of other options and creative possibilities. The medium's capabilities are far more than most marketers understand. B2B advertisers, in particular, would be wise to tap into OOH's creative solutions and think outside the box as they plan their OOH ads.
Simple Ways to Determine If an OOH Campaign Is Effective
We might get so caught up in gathering data, preparing reports, and evaluating data that we forget that there are simpler ways to establish whether an OOH advertising campaign was successful. Consider one of these metrics for your return on investment if you're merely curious about if your campaign has increased sales since it began (ROI).
Calculate OOH Impressions
In the past, OOH impressions were calculated using traffic counts and daily effective circulation to determine the total number of distinct customers within a target population who were exposed to a product or service advertisement, which is known as reach. Daily effective circulation, or DEC, is the measure of traffic that passes by a particular advertisement.
Trends In The OOH Advertising Industry For 2022
Although out-of-home advertising is one of the oldest kinds of advertising, current technological advancements and increased customer awareness necessitates a reevaluation of advertising methods. While traditional OOH models are encountering issues, analysts believe that out-of-home advertising is regaining popularity because people are tired of being bombarded with adverts on their mobile phones.
OOH Generates Strong Recall
Advertisers are more focused on ROI than ever before in today's highly competitive ad market. The ad landscape becomes much more complicated when you consider the growing levels of audience segmentation across various media channels. It's no surprise, then, that OOH, with its vast reach, has received high marks in two recent studies on ad effectiveness.
How Programmatic OOH Works
DOOH advertising is a rapidly growing market, fueled in part by the introduction of programmatic into the Out Of Home space, as well as a variety of other aspects.
