🌟 Operating in 150 ****Hotels across Austria 🇦🇹 FRAMEN This year celebrates the pinnacle of sports: with the Olympic Games and the European Championship taking center stage. That's why we're thrilled to announce our partnership with Schindler Group in Salzburg, Tyrol, and Vorarlberg! 🛗🔝 We're also expanding our partnership to include premium hotels in these renowned sports regions. Here's why I'm particularly excited about our new elevator screens (apart from the delightful wordplay around "lifting" or "elevating marketing" 😄❤️): ✅ Diverse, High-Income Audience: Our audience spans a wide spectrum, from winter sports enthusiasts to wellness seekers, corporate event attendees, outdoor enthusiasts, and culinary connoisseurs. ✅ Elevator Screens = Prime Real Estate: With undivided attention within the lifts, every hotel guest is sure to engage with them. Granular targeting and specified time targeting further amplify the impact of advertising. ✅ Targeted Timing: Leveraging peak times around breakfast, lunch, and dinner enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of advertising. On average, two screens are installed in each hotel elevator. Looking ahead: By 2025, we're aiming to expand our digital elevator offering to encompass 220 hotels. 🚀
