Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions from retailers, chains and franchises. Need more help? Our team is here 24/7.

How does digital signage help retail stores?

Screens promote offers, show products in motion, guide shoppers and replace printed posters, so a campaign goes live in every store at once.

Can each store show its own prices and offers?

Yes. Group screens by store or region, and use Tags and Slide Conditions (Pro) to target content.

Can I run a video wall?

Yes. Play supports video walls, and Sync (Pro) keeps content in step across screens.

Can I sell screen time to brands in my stores?

Yes. Ad Cycle (Ultimate) schedules brand ads with a set number of showings, and Proof of Play reports show when they ran.

Can a campaign start and end on set dates?

Yes. Schedule a playlist for a date range and it starts and stops on its own, in every store that plays it.

Can shoppers find their way around the store with touch screens?

Yes. With Touch (Pro) you can build interactive store maps and directories that point shoppers to departments and products.

Can we see who looks at our screens?

Yes. AudienceAware (Ultimate) uses a camera to show who looks at your screens and for how long, so you can tune your content to your shoppers.
