This equipment will certainly make an impression on any customer who will remember your product and store it in a part of his memory. You can also position your digital signage display in your shop window in order to draw customers to your store. This screen will certainly showcase your products better than a simple paper billboard.

4- Link between online and offline

The habits of the consumer have changed. 80% of consumers state that they check on the internet before buying something. While it’s true that online sales have progressed 35 times faster than sales in conventional stores, the French still prefer the good old shop. We talk about that in a previous article on this subject. It is however necessary to adapt to these new modes of consumption. One of the answers can be found in the digitalisation of the point of sale, and digital signage is the best way to do that! The consumer who has the habit of checking the products online, will feel right at home and will be in the best situation to purchase. Digital signage becomes the link between online and offline. If your store has an online shop, then the link becomes even stronger: the customer finds his product and his way around the store easier.

The surrounding (non-competing) shops will want to profit off your digital signage space by broadcasting their promotions or new items on your screen. Considering that the digital signage system belongs to you, You’re free to sell publicity space to whomever you like!
