Embracing the Future – 6 Retail Digital Signage Trends in 2023

Data-Driven Content and Personalization

Personalization is the name of the game in today's retail environment. Customers expect experiences tailored to their preferences and behaviors. It can be relevant product promotions (advertise umbrellas or sunscreen based on the weather data) or personalized offers (gender or age-based targeting).

Beyond immediate customer satisfaction, personalized experiences build stronger, longer-lasting relationships between customers and brands. Recognizing and responding to individual preferences fosters a sense of value and understanding, increasing customer loyalty.

At DISPL, we're making this a reality with our software solutions that leverage real-time targeting and audience analytics. By personalizing content based on customer behavior, we're enhancing the customer experience and driving sales. It's a win-win situation that's set to redefine the retail landscape.

Interactive Content, Touchscreen Displays, and Touch Kiosks

Interactivity is the future of Digital Signage. Customers want to engage with content, not just passively consume it. Tablets or touch kiosks are turning retail spaces into interactive experiences. Customers can explore products, provide feedback, and engage with marketing content, all while providing valuable data that retailers can use to refine their strategies.

Moreover, the interactivity offered by touch screens and kiosks extends beyond mere exploration. It introduces the potential for fun, educational, and immersive experiences, such as gamified shopping or interactive tutorials. This deepens customer engagement and forms memorable retail experiences that keep customers returning.

Cloud-Based Software, Security, and Ultimate Compatibility

In an increasingly digital world, businesses need solutions that are flexible, secure, and compatible with a range of devices. DISPL’s cloud-based software ticks all these boxes. It allows for real-time updates, ensuring content is always current. It prioritizes security and privacy, keeping collected data safe and GDPR-compliant. And it offers ultimate compatibility, working seamlessly on a range of platforms including Windows, Android, Tizen (Samsung panels), WebOS (LG panels), Linux, and iOS.

DISPL's cloud-based software further facilitates centralized control and scalability. A business can manage and update content across a vast network of touchpoints from one central hub, adding new devices with ease as the network expands. With the assurance of high uptime and reliable performance, businesses can rest easy knowing their digital signage will remain consistently operational.

Advertising Features, Demographic Targeting, and SSP/DSP Ad Exchange Integration

In the age of AI, businesses have the power to create highly targeted advertising campaigns. Our software uses live audience data to deliver targeted content on any digital surface, allowing businesses to customize their content and reach specific customer segments. And with our integration with SSP/DSP ad exchanges, businesses can sell screen time to brands, maximizing their Digital Signage investments.

Additionally, DISPL's advertising capabilities allow for real-time adjustments based on live audience data. The system can run A/B tests to identify and cater to particular demographics that respond favorably to specific content, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates.

Brands Playing a More Significant Role in Digital Offline Advertising

Brands are set to play a bigger role in digital offline advertising. With our detailed audience analytics, brands can gain insights into their audience, helping them tailor their marketing strategies. Retailers can sell this data to brands, creating a new revenue stream and strengthening partnerships.

Beyond that, the insights generated by DISPL's audience analytics enable brands to better identify their key customer segments and hone their messaging. As a result, digital offline advertising evolves into a highly effective channel for delivering personalized and relevant messages, fostering a unique value proposition for both brands and retailers.

Real-Time Updates in Digital Signage

In a world where information is constantly changing, the ability to update Digital Signage content in real-time is crucial. Whether it's updating product prices, promotional offers, or breaking news, our cloud-based software ensures that Digital Signage content is always current and relevant. DISPL's unique feature is content management from tablets – content in specific store zone can be simultaneously changed from any mobile device to create personalized sales pitch.

The real-time update capabilities also grant digital signage a critical role during emergencies or significant moments. This can range from broadcasting crucial safety information to changes in store policies, or last-minute deals. This ensures businesses can keep their customers informed and up-to-date, solidifying their reputation as a trusted and responsive brand.
