PLS Check Cashers Bi-Lingual Offer

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Test networks in both English and Spanish have been rolled out in 50 PLS Check Cashers locations in the US via Channel M

PLS TV is the first network that Channel M has programmed with bilingual content which is a bit surprising to us, as we would have thought that English and Spanish would have been the order of the day in many US networks.

Dan Wolfberg, president of PLS Check Cashers is rather pleased with his new in-store network and told us “An initial beta program demonstrated very positive results in our test locations. The qualitative results included improvements in the overall customer experience and increases in usage of the PLS products featured on the in-store program.”

He added “Working closely with Channel M, we developed program features and ads that strategically promote our products and services to our multicultural, bilingual clientele.”

Sixty percent of the programming s advertising, which is regionalized by store location. Channel M creates all ad spots to promote PLS services – it’s these ads that include graphics and voiceovers in English and Spanish (with captions) and are set to upbeat music.
