Are Retail Digital Signage Solution Worth It for Store?

Yes, Here are the 7 reasons why you must have digital signage in your store

1. They pass the message quicker than a static billboard

why retail digital signage is worth it

Static billboards don’t make the cut anymore. Any given day, a TV would be much more appealing than them. 

Imagine entering your favourite cloth brand store or a hypermarket and you see a big tv screen that takes you through the new arrivals, seasonal offers and discounts and loyalty programs. Via the signage you discover there is an offer running on your credit card – well isn’t that simply awesome!

With signage, the possibilities are limitless. This works both ways, the customers are happy they have all the details handy and the retail businesses are happy that guests are exploring more to enhance their business.

Plus, the redundant cost on the billboard prints is saved.



2. They are easy to manage

Uploading content via signage is so much easier than getting a static billboard boarded at the right place. The cherry on the cake is that you are not supposed to be physically present to update the content on the signage. You or your staff could be in a different city or state altogether and they can easily go on to update the content on the signage at the stores.

With our easy to use signage software, the staff might just need some minor training and they could start managing content at your chain of retail stores very easily.

Any kind of content be it images, videos or HTML can be easily displayed on the screen which can be much more appealing compared to the paper billboards.

3. They are cost-effective and time-saving

Let’s take a scenario where you are to get a big billboard printed and hoard it at a specific location. There would first be a design cost associated with it, then comes the printing cost, then the cost of placing it at the right place which requires at least two people. This could be a process of days – 3-5 at least. 

Now let’s take digital signs. You get the design done, upload that design on the signage software dashboard, assign it to the device and push it to the screens. This will hardly take a couple of minutes. Only one person can manage the entire process. 

You are saved on both the time and the cost. 

4. They help you establish a good brand image

With a variety of right content, right offers and timely updates, your business can attain a steady customer base for itself and establish a good brand image. 

If you own multiple outlets across remote locations, it is essential that uniformity is maintained at all the places. This can be easily done via digital signage. 

Using signage software you can group the devices and push the same content to all of them at one go. You can also schedule the content for these devices well in advance. 

This will help you establish a good brand image and enhance your presence in customers’ minds with time. 

5. They help you market offers and promotions easily

Create a quick template of your needs easily using a template editor that signage might have and make the design creation task of you and your staff very easy. 

With an offer that has been instantly decided upon, often your team might be in a hoax as to how to get up and running. In such a situation, all you need to do is pick up one already in-built template and get started. 

Or if you have a designer available, you can get the image for the offer designed and push it to multiple screens at one go.

6. They help you highlight new arrivals

Surely new arrivals deserve some attention. Though they don’t account for huge discounts on them, they surely are most waited on by shopaholics. 

By displaying a signage at the entrance of your retail store about new arrivals or by placing them in the particular section, you can grab a customer’s attention and prompt them to check out the new arrivals. 

Seasonal new arrivals are very easy to sell out. Make sure you are to put these at your retail digital signage since people mostly are on the lookout of these and may decide to have a go at them on the spot. 

7. They help customers make smart decisions

This point comes into picture considering the fact that customers are always on the lookout for offers or ways to make smarter purchasing choices. It might so happen that they are at your store to explore options and looking for a right choice. A signage displaying the range of products or maybe a kiosk with the list of products might just do the trick.
