– Digital Signage can be used to display advertising content which is relevant to the store or area the screen is located in. Advertising products in a supermarket, events in a shopping mall or simply the latest movie which has hit the theatres. Digital Signage offers network providers/users with a juicy ad-revenue stream.
Digital Signage can be used for internal branding and promotion purposes. This consists of screens which are self managed by the store owner for example and the only content which is displayed is relevant only to the stores self-branded goods. From a services perspective, a Financial Institution may opt to use the digital screens to promote their in-house lending facilities.
Digital Signage can be used for both advertising and branding. The air time on the screens can be split to accommodate for both an ad revenue stream and an internal promotion channel. A common application for this model would be in a supermarket where the supermarket would promote it own Homebrand products while collecting a revenue stream from other, 3rd party advertised products.
