As an experienced businessperson, you are no doubt already aware that digital signage is a popular medium that businesses are using to advertise and market. However, you may be wondering if digital signage is the right choice for your business.
Here are 10 surprising points about digital signage that could help sway your decision in favor of utilising it for your own business.
1. Digital media in public venues reaches more customers than internet videos or social media
An impressive 75% of travelers recall seeing a digital billboard within the past month.
2. Customers engage with digital signage
A study found that 47% of people who said that they saw a digital sign in the past month also say that they specifically recall seeing an ad.
