Why most digital signage costs so much
Traditional digital signage is sold as a project. There’s usually a quote, commercial-grade displays, a media player box behind every screen, installation, and ongoing software charged per screen. That’s the right fit for a shopping mall or an airport. It’s overkill for a bar with three TVs.
- Commercial displays and mounting
- A media player box for every screen
- Installation and a site visit
- Software billed per screen, often in US dollars
- A contract to lock it all in
How we keep it cheap
We skipped everything a small venue doesn’t need. Your screens are the TVs already on your walls. The “player” is the TV’s own web browser, or a Chromecast or Fire TV Stick if the TV is older. Setup is typing a 6-digit code. And the price is one flat monthly fee for the whole venue, not per screen.
- Use the TVs you already have
- No media player to buy (a streaming stick works if you need one)
- No installer: set up in minutes yourself
- One price for up to 20 TVs, in NZ dollars
- No contract on the monthly plan
Cheap, not basic
Low price doesn’t mean fewer features. You can upload images and video, build specials with a headline and price in seconds, schedule each slide by day and hour, see which TVs are online, and manage it all from your phone. If the internet drops, the TVs keep playing what they have.
