Business model

Channel M works with retailers to create in-store networks for nationwide retailers, restaurants, and convienence stores. Channel M in turn sells advertising on select networks, depending on the retailer's goal for the channel.

 

*At this time, Channel M will not be disclosing information on revenue and profitability. 

Competitive advantage
Analysts including PQ Media are projecting the out of home advertising industry to grow to a $3.25 billion dollar market by 2011 as consumers spend less time with traditional media and traditional advertising channels.  What sets Channel M apart in this growing industry is its uniquely developed content. Channel M works to represent the retail brand first and foremost, never using in-store channels as a way to gain more exposure for repurposed content. Channel M believes that content is king, and that belief is explicitly visible in the broadcast-quality programming it develop for each of its clients.
