How to transform your business's TV into a sales driver

A TV is an opportunity to communicate directly with customers, and when there are dozens in any given bar or restaurant, they become a powerful tool to reach customers with revenue-driving marketing materials. Yet too often bar and restaurant owners are limited to strict cable programming that contains irrelevant commercial breaks, or reliant on expensive print materials that quickly become outdated.

Here's how digital signage can boost your marketing efforts by transforming what's playing on the TV.

The business case for digital signage

Digital signage uses static images or video to deliver key business information and promotional materials directly to consumers where they're already watching — on TV. So why care about digital signage over more traditional marketing efforts? We'll give you three good reasons:

80% of brands that use digital signage report a significant increase in sales, often due to encouraging spur-of-the-moment purchases.¹ Additionally, digital signage is proven to reduce perceived wait times by over 35%. ²

Digital signage reaches audiences out of the home — a facet of advertising that's expected to grow over the next several years.³ With consumers increasingly on the go, it'll become even more valuable to create new touchpoints that reach consumers while they're in a buying mindset.

Unlike print materials, digital signage can be updated easily as information changes. In today's world, where a 24-hour news cycle is the norm and social media feeds update even faster, the flexibility to adapt marketing materials quickly is key to maintaining brand relevance.

Create a memorable viewing experience by combining digital signage with compelling content

72% of customers say that they share good experiences with others.⁴ Create an environment that will keep people talking with content designed specifically for businesses.

The beauty of content designed for businesses is that it offers a new touchpoint for owners and advertisers to reach engaged customers. Display digital signage within compelling TV programming to grow deeper relationships with customers by reaching them while they're watching content that they love.

Ditch costly print materials

The rise of social media has led consumers to expect ads that are relevant to their interests and fit seamlessly in the viewing experience. To keep up, venues need the flexibility to adjust marketing materials as quickly as attention spans, elevating the viewing experience rather than disrupting it.

In the fast-paced service industry, owners need a way to communicate instantly with customers. From special offers to changes in business operations, the ability to update marketing materials with relevant information is critical to a satisfying customer experience. While current options like print or QR codes have their purpose, they don't allow the flexibility and versatility that digital signage provides.

Elevate marketing efforts with digital signage to see immediate results
