German term or phrase: Aktionswand
This is a sentence from an advertising agency's presentation of revisions they made to a trade fair booth for an office furniture company. The sentence is :
Der Personal Label Printer wird auf einer eigenen Aktionswand gehighlighted.
Yes. that is the sentence as I received it. half English half German it seems :) I don't know how to translate Aktionswand and what thinking of something along the lines of "promotion wall", etc. Any input appreciated.

Note from asker to answerer
I ended up using promotional screen, which worked out fine especially because the promotional fits the German Aktion. The other options were all excellent, esp. interactive (which I didn't see until after sending off). Thanks to all of you and to Ian in particular. :)
