Three Ways Digital Signage is Transforming Retail
The retail landscape has dramatically changed in recent years. Nearly 70% of customers want both in-store and online experiences as part of their shopping journey. The virtual and tangible worlds have collided, and digital signage is the window into those worlds. Here are three different ways that digital signage is impacting the retail industry:
Show, Don’t Tell. Digital signage can influence shoppers by not just telling them the benefits of a product but by showing them.
More Than a Store. Stores that use digital displays in conjunction with solutions like music, voice messaging, and scent marketing truly connect customers to their brand.
Visualize Team Success. Digital signage can have a major impact on employees as well. Effective digital signage can be a helpful tool to reinforce training, keep staff informed of ever-changing safety measures, motivate teams, and highlight employee achievements.
#ProInsight: Seize the opportunity to build brand trust and boost sales with digital signage technology that engages, informs, and entertains both your customers and your staff.
#FunFact:Â 93% of retailers expect consumers to increase their use of mobile devices in stores.
