Live Reaction is a Smart TV app that allows you to insert customized dynamic content during a live TV broadcast. The application is mainly designed for live content, so it can be packaged as an HBBTV app, or used as a module in other standalone apps on LG TVs, Samsung Tizen, or other platforms that support HTML5 applications.
Live Reaction’s primary aim is to provide its clients with a targeted advertising tool, creating new advertising space and profiling its users in real time, as well as giving TV advertisers the marketing power of the web. These practices are facilitated through the insertion of small contests during live television.
For example, during a football match it is possible to enter a shortlist of players to be voted as the best player; the spectator can use the remote control to enter their preference and find out if they have won at the end of the contest. The content is configurable to meet business needs and viewers can use the colored buttons on the remote control. The choice of players, the start and end of the contest, and the placement of advertising banners can all be managed via a simple control panel.
The collection of personal data through Smart TVs is not very productive, due to the difficulty for the viewer of entering data textually through the remote control. Live Reaction allows the insertion of a QR-Code on the screen at the end of the contest that leads the viewer to fill in their personal data through their smartphone.
Configuration
Every feature of the application can be configured to offer the most suitable content for any type of broadcast: music event, sporting event, talent show, etc. The Reaction, as the selectable icons that appear on the screen are called, can be fixed or animated, images or graphics, and freely customizable.
The two most interesting aspects from the brand’s perspective are the Advertising and QR-Code/Landing page sections:
Advertising
The section dedicated to advertising banners is perhaps the most important feature of the application, because it allows you to monetize through collaboration with partners interested in investing in advertising.
For this reason, the possibilities for inserting banners are numerous, allowing both the insertion of images with a transparent background positioned in the lower part of the screen, and the insertion of a frame around the live images.
Landing Page
Data collection is another essential functionality for marketing activities, and with Live Reaction it is very easy to configure:
Live Reaction allows a direct link from the TV screen via QR-Code to an external web page optimized for mobile devices, containing a fully configurable data entry form according to business needs.
The ability to manage the data coming from the form in an external database makes it possible to comply with all the regulations related to privacy, protecting the user’s data according to the GDPR regulation.
This procedure allows the collected data to be used according to the user’s declaration and acceptance, giving a wide margin of choice to the proposing company.
Conclusions
Live Reaction is the ideal solution to transform a television event into an opportunity to increase revenue through advertising, involving the viewer without disturbing them, and exploiting the simplicity offered by the remote control. The application is designed to interact even with age groups that are normally not inclined to use digital communication tools to express their opinions publicly.
