The Top 5 Ways Digital Signage Software Can Boost Your Business

By Richard Z Anderson

With the amount of static media consumers are bombarded on a daily basis, it's of little wonder that their attention spans have become more limited, if not averse to the bits of information that come their way. You've decided that digital signage software is what you need to step ahead of the pack. With the right choice, a business can see to building touch-screen kiosks, display in-store products, present product-specific how-to videos and other forms of brand-building content.

Can this technology fit your business model? Of course it can. Digital signs are being used almost everywhere in locations as diverse as subway stations, hotel lobbies, cinema lounges, retail stores and many other institutions. The key to the success of the software is the information and entertainment it provides. Below are five ways digital signage software can boost your business revenues: Point of Sale Advertising: As mentioned above, the technology affords your business the benefit of introducing new brands that have been recently added to your in-store product range. Running sales promotions through this technology also serves as an excellent way of increasing point-of-sale purchases.

Reducing Customer Wait-time: Digital signage software brings more than just advertising to retailers. It is also very commonly used to delivering content that effectively reduces what is referred to as 'Dwell Time' in line-ups.

Third Party Advertising: Third-party advertising is yet another source of revenue that can be achieved. Good rates of people-traffic can attract some lucrative ad revenue.

Brand Building and Awareness: The need for outside-advertising is greatly reduced when using digital signage. If, for example, a clothing retailer wishes to inform its customers about their newest line of sweaters, they can now consider doing their own in-store campaigning in favor of taking out ad space in a print magazine.

Managerial Assistance: The interactive edge that digital signage offers its users also extends to employee training. By featuring content aimed at sales goals, product information and company events, digital signage softwaremakes for a more inclusive-feel to the work environment possible.
