Today’s consumers expect to see technology being used to improve their in-store experience, and digital signage does just that.

Aside from attracting attention and increasing engagement levels, digital signage can give organisations the flexibility of deploying important communications within seconds. It can also influence purchase decisions, increase brand awareness and reduce print costs.

Here are some of our smart ways of using digital signage:

1      Brand Messaging/Marketing

Digital signage is often used as a tool for displaying important brand messages or raising brand awareness. High-definition graphics and quality imagery can be used to attract the eyes of in-store customers.

Fashion retailers often use digital signage to display a catalogue of images for in-store inspiration and to aid the decision-making process.

2      Product Information And Assisted Selling

Digital signage can be used to leverage upsells and impulse purchases at the point of sale by displaying important marketing messages associated with a specific product or service.

Signage can often be used to persuade customers into making a purchase decision through direct advertising or offering in-store discounts. Integration with back-end systems can help with stock control by pushing certain SKU’s where there is a surplus for meeting in-store sales targets.

3      Third-party Advertising

Fashion outlets can use digital signage to promote third-party advertisements and products. We see the potential for a brokerage style system where brands can bid for advertising space, which will increase ROI on the adoption of digital signage. For example, a retailer who supplies branded products can give the different brands the option to pay to promote their brand in-store and drive sales.

4      Digital Menu Boards

Quick-service restaurants and eateries benefit from the flexibility of being able to change signage content with ease, and alternate price points in different locations can be easily addressed.

Digital signage allows businesses to better influence customer engagement, by using digital menu boards to do all the upselling and cross-selling for them.

With the right technology, combined with engaging content and impressive in-store execution, digital menu boards give restaurants and eateries the chance to improve impulse purchases at the point of sale.

5    Entertainment

Digital signage is often used as a method of in-store entertainment, using high-definition animation and video to attract customers’ attention. A video wall is ideal for displaying promotional videos and can be used as a method of entertaining the companions of in-store shoppers. If situated behind POS checkouts it can also help to reduce perceived dwell times.

6 Personalisation

Nowadays, consumers expect to receive a highly personable service that is entirely tailored to their needs, shopping habits and previous buying behaviour.

Digital signage allows for content personalisation by allowing organisations to tap into all the data they have about a customer and auto-drive screen content, ultimately turning big data into smart data
