Run Ads On Digital Signage In-Store

Is your business constantly looking for innovative ways to advertise your products and services? Traditional advertising normally has two primary goals, drive customers to your store and entice them to make a purchase. Some forms of advertising cost more than others. Some forms of advertising work better than others in terms of achieving one or both of these goals. In today’s world where consumers are bombarded with advertising messages from the time we go to sleep until the time we wake up, if you want to achieve your goals, it’s more important than ever that your ads cut through all of the advertising clutter that’s competing for attention from your target audience.

Run Ads On Digital Signage with An iPad to Cut Through the Advertising Clutter

When you walk into a retail location utilizing traditional in-store advertising, it usually takes the form of a poster on the wall or some sort of sign on a stand. For the most part, consumers seem to have tuned those sorts of signs out. Not only don’t they cut through the clutter, but they aren’t interactive. Consumers can’t engage with them to get more information. Traditional signs can have a call-to-action and surely there is some value there, but not that you can track. Digital Signage with OnSpot Social changes all of that.

Utilizing the Slideshows feature allows companies to run ads on digital signage with an iPad, and if consumers choose to, they can tap the screen to connect with the company on social media, email, or mobile. Slideshows allows companies to upload up to five custom images to rotate through on a timer when OnSpot Social is idle. Interactive slides running ads on the iPad captures consumers attention much more than traditional signage. People are drawn to the iPad. Having 5 slides allows companies to tell their stories more than a single poster. Lastly, and possibly most importantly, when consumers decide to use the connection features those actions are tracked and reported back to you so that you can determine the ROI for your ads. Pretty powerful stuff for marketers.

5 Different Types of Ads to Run On Digital Signage In-Store

Hopefully you’re starting to see the value in using an iPad to run ads on digital signage. Here are 5 different ad types that you should consider for your brand:

• Contest Ads – Contests and games are a great way to get consumers interested in your brand. Companies run contests online and offline all of the time.
