ROI on Japan's interactive mobile poster experiment

Japan is clearly ahead of the curve on many things but this is truly visionary. Based on earlier technology and initiatives that Japanese companies already use for people to get interactive with a movie, but after visiting a site with a text code from the poster, they can now do that instantly with a major initiative by Soft Bank Mobile.
Using technology by Near Field Communication (NFC), Soft Bank Mobile customers can access trailers, movie stills, ringtones, etc... that are related to the film and are avilable from a customer syncing up with any poster that utilizes the technolgy by NFC, whihc sends targeted movie info directly and immemdialty to the the cionsumer.

This is a really, really great turn for new technolgies that will undoubtedly open the door to so many other types of digital signage and billboard type advertising, which will create fantastic opporutites veyr high ROI and CPM. Pint in fact, a recent reserach paper stated that digital signage and POS signage has teh best retention, just about 2 to 1 gretaer than TV an dinternet in terms of a conumer remebering the ad, what it was about, and any other distinsguishing elements about it.

For any content producer, ad compnay, or any one directly involved in digital media, this is a huge step forward towards the embrace of new technologies, and stronger ROI.
