Liquor stores in the DOOH ecosystem

Liquor stores are an adult-only retail category, so the Trillboards platform restricts creatives to age-appropriate content by venue policy. The footprint is a wide geographic spread for a niche category, concentrated in California (San Diego, Vista, Fresno), Iowa (Des Moines), and Kentucky (Louisville). The dominant audience archetype is adult solo or pair shoppers in brief-dwell sessions; the venue is uniquely valuable for in-category beverage advertising (spirits, beer, wine) and for adult-lifestyle adjacent categories (premium snacks, mixers, glassware). Floor CPM of $1.58 USD sits below mainstream retail because supply density is high and audience attention is task-focused, not leisure.


How the buy executes at liquor stores

Each screen runs the Trillboards kiosk app on an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to our SSP. Roughly every 30 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor, venue category, geographic bucket, screen format, plus the audience signals the on-device CV pipeline observed, aggregated and stripped of per-person identifiers before they leave the screen.

Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms. The winning creative ships back, plays in the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback with a signed proof-of-play receipt. Those receipts reconcile daily against partner-reported numbers, which is the record we bill against.

We serve first-party and third-party VAST, OMID viewability where the creative declares it, and device-signed proof of play, meeting the OAAA measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers on our OpenRTB endpoint target liquor stores through the IAB Audience Taxonomy and the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace, and receive no per-screen identifiers in the bid request.


If you own the venue

Independent liquor store operators host Trillboards screens behind the register and in the cooler aisle. Most liquor-store hosts also use the screen to play their own product features and weekly sale promotions when no programmatic ad serves.
