Do your own research too

During our research, we found over a hundred digital signage software providers worldwide. So, the above list is bound to change as providers evolve what they offer. Therefore, it is wise to do some extra research of your own before signing up with a suitable digital signage software provider.

The first step of this research process should always be working out how you plan to use the software. You do not want to inadvertently buy a package that only allows you to deploy ads in one location if you run 3 or 4 stores and have screens in all of them. Take the time to watch a couple of demo videos. Doing this will help you to gain a better understanding of what you can achieve using digital signage software. This in turn is likely to change what you were planning to do with the screens you have available.

Try not to rush into a decision. If you have the time to do so, sign up for a couple of free trials. There is no better way than this to establish how your business is going to use digital in-store promotions and advertising and take your business up to the next level.
