Shopping centres, convenience stores, gas stations, airports and inside retail stores are common locations to find digital signage, as are high streets with the growing rise of outdoor digital signage, which is often used to raise brand awareness, promote new product lines and manipulate customers at point of sale.

As part of an ongoing marketing and promotional campaign, digital signage can bring great rewards and is an effective method of raising brand awareness and has many advantages over other forms of media too.

Compared to TV and radio advertising, digital signage is a fraction of the cost and yet can receive extremely high audience figures, unparalleled by other media. It’s modern, aesthetically attractive and once installed should require little or no maintenance. However, one of the biggest advantages of using digital out of home is its immediacy.

The campaign was then seen over 2.9 million times over the next 24 hours across Amscreen’s extensive network.

This immediacy makes digital out of home not just advantageous to advertisers like Amscreen but has great benefits for all sorts of applications.
