Affordable, easy-to-use digital signage for local businesses. Window displays, in-store promotions, and customer communication that help small and medium businesses compete with larger brands.
The Local Business & SMB Digital Signage Challenge
Common pain points that hold local business & smb back from delivering their full potential.
Limited budget for professional signage
Enterprise signage platforms are priced for large corporations, leaving small businesses with DIY solutions that look unprofessional.
No dedicated IT or marketing staff
Small business owners wear many hats and don't have time to learn complex content management systems or troubleshoot technical issues.
Need to update content quickly and easily
Changing a daily special, updating hours, or promoting a sale should take seconds, not require technical knowledge or vendor support.
Competing with larger businesses for attention
National chains invest heavily in in-store experiences while local businesses rely on static printed signs that fade and date quickly.

Local Business & SMB Digital Signage Use Cases
Small business digital signage FAQs
Can I set up digital signage myself as a small business?
Yes. A screen, a media player and a browser is the whole setup, and most owners have their first screen running the same afternoon. You only need a trade if you want new power or data cabling run, or the screen sits somewhere you cannot safely reach. We recommend the hardware and train you on the system.
Can I use a normal smart TV for shop signage?
Yes, indoors and out of direct sun. Add a media player and a store-bought smart TV runs signage software perfectly well, and it is the sensible way to start. Consumer panels are rated for fewer hours a day, are dimmer, usually cannot be mounted portrait, and their warranty often excludes commercial use, so an all-day or sunny shopfront screen is better served by a commercial display.
How long before my screen is actually showing something?
Same day, in most cases. Unbox the screen, connect the player, upload your content and it is live. The part that takes longest is usually deciding what to put on it, not the setup.
Do I need design skills to make content?
No. Templates cover the common cases - promotions, opening hours, price lists, social feeds - and you edit the words and swap the images. If you already have artwork from a designer, you can upload that instead.
Is shop digital signage the same as digital signage?
Yes, it is the same thing at a smaller scale. Digital signage is the general term for screens showing content you control remotely. A shop screen, a menu board and a stadium video wall all run the same kind of software - what changes is the number of screens and how often the content updates.
What do I need to get started with one screen?
Three things: a screen, a media player that plugs into it, and a subscription to run the content. That is it. No server, no IT project, no integrator visit. Power and wifi at the screen, and you are running.
