Abstract

Systems and methods that facilitates advertising of products are disclosed. Such a system can include a rendering component that visually displays an item of content associated with the product and a content management component that provides the item of content to the rendering component. The system can retrieve and display content by way of an on-board memory, Internet (or network) source, peer-to-peer source or the like. The content can be related to a product review, preview, instructions or the like.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates advertising of a product, comprising:

a clip strip comprising a plurality of clips that facilitate displaying the product;

a rendering component that visually displays an item of content associated with the product; and

a content management component that provides the item of content to the rendering component.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the content management component comprises an activation component that employs a motion sensor, wherein the rendering component visually displays the item of content based at least in part on a signal received from the activation component in response to motion detected by the motion sensor.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the content management comprises a content selection component that determines the item of content from among a plurality of content items.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the content management component comprises an association component that modifies the plurality of content items to comprise one or more items based on content associated with one or more related products.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the content selection component determines the item of content based at least in part on input from one or more of a user or potential customer.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the content management component comprises a location component that determines location data associated with the product, wherein the item of content is based at least in part on the location data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the content management component comprises a pre-render component that modifies the item of content to include additional information.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the content management component comprises a communication component that receives information associated with the product, wherein the item of content is provided based at least in part on the received information.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the information associated with the product comprises a product identification, wherein the content management component determines the item of content based on the product identification.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the product identification is received via a radio frequency identification (RFID) device associated with the product.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the product identification is one or more of a bar code or a stock-keeping unit (SKU) code.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the item of content comprises a prize code redeemable for a reward.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the rendering component is mechanically attached to the clip strip.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the rendering component is magnetically attached to the clip strip.

15. The system of claim 1, further comprising an artwork management component that provides promotional information through one or more indicia based at least in part on the product.

16. A method of providing advertising, comprising:

providing a rendering device on a clip strip that displays one of a plurality of content items associated with a product associated with the clip strip;

configuring at least one of a plurality of content items for rendering via a rendering device, wherein the plurality of content items comprises at least a preview related to the product and instructional material related to the product;

determining a selected content item of the plurality of content items to render via the rendering device; and

rendering the selected content item via the rendering device.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising storing the plurality of content items on a removable memory.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising receiving the selected content item from a remote server.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein rendering the selected content item comprises detecting motion near the rendering device, wherein rendering the selected content item is in response to the detected motion.

20. An advertising system, comprising:

a pager, comprising;
