How do you know lightboxes are so effective?

lightbox Market research shows that illuminated advertising attracts higher customer footfall and sales compared to non-illuminated advertising.

Some examples: i) a leading European bank had a financial product they wished to promote, they utilized double-sided Katana lightboxes in some of their windows to illuminate the promotional poster and non-illuminated poster frames in the others. Their market research highlighted that the banks with illuminated displays had an increase of over 30% sales of the advertised product in comparison to banks with non-illuminated posters. ii) Boots reduced the time that customers spent at their digital photo counters by replacing non-illuminated signage displaying services and prices with bespoke illuminated lightbox displays. iii) Bacardi market research has shown that the majority of people in a nightclub environment were not sure of what they were going to order when going to the bar. When their promotion was illuminated the increase in sales of the specific promoted drink increased by over 100%.

Is it possible to replace the face of the light box without replacing the lexan?

No! usually light boxes have a digital graphic overlay glued to the face, so when you try to remove it the glue residue will stay and make it impossible to reuse the face.

Great post! I couldn’t agree more – light boxes are an extremely effective advertising tool. Once displayed in high traffic places, i.e. retail, malls, airports, etc. they are incredibly effective at catching consumer attention. I definitely think that light boxes are an excellent promotional tool.
