SHOPPING MALLS
Shopping malls have displays that are located at entrances, anchor stores, escalators, food courts, and other high traffic areas in a mall as kiosks, wall-mounted, and free-standing displays. Many are two, three, or four-sided units that can contain store directories and are back-lit for added visibility. Some copy rotates to provide eye-catching movement. Programmable video and digital displays are available in some markets.
Murals are also available in selected shopping malls.
