NEW YORK, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Adspace Networks, Inc., owner of the largest in-mall digital advertising network in the country, has expanded its Adspace Mall Network to include the Southland, Lakeside and Laurel Park Place malls in the Detroit market.

-- Each week, retailers in the mall compete to be featured on the screens by submitting their best deals including original prices and total savings -- Adspace then chooses the 10 best deals; -- Then produces each one into a 12-second spot, which is free to retailers; -- Each week, there are typically 10-featured specials running in a six minute loop of local and national advertising and mall events.
