Seoul, KOREA ¶ Jan 26, 2012 (Whowired) -- A new type of advertising through the screen of the pager used in restaurants and coffee shops is gaining ground. Founded only four years ago, Cublic Media has marketed the Cuby, the pager model with a 2.5-inch LCD screen that spits out short commercial messages continuously while the client is waiting for the food to come.
Currently the Cuby is in use by Angelinus, Twosome Place, Paris Baguette, Dunkin Donuts, and other 150 establishments. Advertisers on this device are wide-ranging including online shopping malls, women’s wear purveyors, cosmetic sellers, and online game sites.
According to the president of the company, inquiries from potential advertisers have been increasing and there are some advertisers making long-term (more than 1 year) contracts.
