Digital advertising screens are growing in popularity – with businesses large and small incorporating digital screens as part of their window or instore display. But what are the advantages for a business.
We take a look at the best reasons for your business to go digital
1. Engagement, Engagement, Engagement

Digital displays capture 400% more views than static displays, and 8/10 customers claim to have entered a store simply because digital signage caught their attention. So how does this affect business? Well, more views mean more opportunities to impact sales, and more interest means more customers in your doors, all of which can lead to opportunities for greater sales.
2. More Impulse Purchases

When you compound these unplanned purchases with digital signage’s effect on purchase amount, it’s easy to see how much of a boon digital signage can be to business.”Clever scheduling software is standard on many digital display screens – and these allow for even more sophisticated messaging to encourage impulse purchases.
3. I CAN Get Satisfaction

In fact, according to a Digital Signage Today article, customers that interact with digital signage report 46% higher satisfaction. These are the kind of improvements to customers’ experiences that can help lead to better customer retention – and increase average spend per customer without increasing other marketing costs.
4. Higher Growth
