If you own a business with a lobby, waiting room, or seating area — whether it’s a medical facility, dental office, coffee shop, or any other local business — then you know that the design and atmosphere of this space are essential. You need people to feel comfortable and relaxed. You might put televisions or magazines in your lobby so that people don’t get bored or frustrated. The fact is, every facet of your business, from your website to your sign, communicates to the public who you are, what you value, and what you offer.
In particular, a lobby or entrance area is a prime opportunity to make a lasting and positive first impression. It’s not just about chairs or paintings; it’s about creating an atmosphere. And the best part? You can use this space as a powerful marketing tool! That’s where ADLocal Value and our flagship product, the ALV Carousel, come in.
What is the ALV Carousel?
The ALV Carousel is an innovative display system that uses television screens in your lobby area to feature a series of dynamic, animated slides. These slides aren’t just ordinary ads; they’re crafted to captivate and entertain your guests with a mix of funny jokes, motivational quotes, intriguing facts, and, of course, ads for local businesses—including yours!
Each ALV Carousel is customized to show content that appeals to your specific audience, making it perfect for:
- Medical and dental waiting rooms
- Hotel lobbies
- Coffee shop lounges
- Car dealerships
- Fitness centers
- And more!
Hosting the ALV Carousel gives your business a unique way to engage, inform, and entertain clients during their wait time—all while strengthening your brand presence.
Why Add an ALV Carousel to Your Lobby?
- It’s Completely Free to Host
When you decide to host an ALV Carousel, we provide the content and handle all setup at no cost to you. In fact, we create ten custom ad spots for your business to display your own products or services on the carousel. Your ALV Carousel will also feature other local businesses that align with your brand and offer complementary (not competing!) services, enhancing the experience for your guests while keeping it relevant and engaging.
- Boost Your Brand Awareness
Just because customers are already in your lobby doesn’t mean you’ve won their loyalty. With an ALV Carousel, every moment they spend waiting is a chance to reinforce your brand, show off your personality, and share your story. The rotating content on the carousel captures their attention and builds brand recall in an authentic, memorable way.
- Cultivate Community Trust
Trust is the cornerstone of successful relationships with your customers, and the ALV Carousel can help build that trust. Featuring ads from other local businesses shows your clients that you support your community—a quality that many customers value. This sense of connection, along with the entertaining and informative content, reinforces that you’re not just a business; you’re an active part of the community.
- A Smart, Cost-Effective Marketing Solution
Traditional advertising methods—newspaper ads, billboards, mailers—can be costly and, at times, ineffective. The ALV Carousel, however, offers a cost-effective alternative. You get to promote your brand to a local, relevant audience at a fraction of the cost. This hyper-local focus ensures that the ads resonate with your community, maximizing the impact without wasting resources on a broad, unfocused reach.
- Engage Your Customers with Meaningful Content
When it comes to waiting rooms, engagement is key. The ALV Carousel mixes business ads with a variety of light-hearted, enjoyable content—like quick trivia, inspiring quotes, and funny jokes—that keeps your guests of all ages entertained. This creates a more enjoyable experience and can even make their wait time feel shorter, improving their overall satisfaction.
