Description:
SkyVibe Networks is a digital media network operator in the Digital Place-based Advertising industry. With an emphasis on captive consumers in retail spaces, the company targets chain-stores in the family hair salon industry, a universe of roughly 20,000 outlets. The flagship product, “SHEARtv” replaces public or satellite radio systems with a proprietary blend of music, entertainment, sports and news programming customized for each salon chain (“the affiliate”). SkyVibe has recently formed a unique partnership with Premier Retail Networks (PRN)the largest company in the digital out of home space. PRN will install the network, program the show and sell airtime on SHEARtv to national and regional advertisers that want to target captive consumers in retail spaces. SkyVibe will provide capital equipment, network operations and expansion of the footprint into other affiliate hair salon chains. The hair salon industry offers the best consumer “dwell time” of any retail environment with the average customer visit lasting 25 to 45 minutes and the average customer frequency of one visit every three to six weeks. We deliver programming and television advertising through a network of digital video screens connected to a central distribution server via private satellite or terrestrial Internet connectivity.
SkyVibe Networks is seeking an equity investment of $1.5MM to fund the implementation.
