An up close advertising system for shopping carts.

 The zebra ad System puts advertising messages right on the shopping cart handle. Advertising placement is up close and in the direct view of the shopper yet it is not an obstruction for cart usage in any way. Because of its unique spindle design, 88 valuable square inches of advertising opportunity is produced. The shopper simply rotates the unit by hand to view each facet of the six-sided spindle. Each facet offers valuable graphic opportunity that can be used for anything from advertising in-store product sales to announcing the latest movie coming to theaters. Bar codes can be printed within the advertisements for discounts at the checkout registers. The possibilities are endless.

The system is extremely durable and resistant to the elements yet it leaves the shopping cart or flat completely unscathed should the system ever be removed. No hole drilling, screws or adhesives are used to install the zebra ad. Its unique design adjusts to fit all shopping carts... even those with thicker, plastic handle sleeves.

The changeable advertiser sheet that wraps the zebra ad is so easy to change out that almost any store employee can be given the responsibility. No special tools are required.

Other invaluable features of the zebra ad include handle sanitization delivery and fragrance dispensing for the marketing of air-freshening products. For shopper and shopping cart safety, each end of the zebra ad is reflective for noticeably in the dark.

For locating stolen shopping carts or gathering valuable shopper-habit data, GPS is available with the zebra ad System.  Small, unique tracking devices are inconspicuously installed within the Spindle which communicate back to one central terminal located within the retail store.
