Indoor Digital Billboards
Frequently Asked Questions
Digital Billboard Hosts
What is the purpose of digital billboards?
Digital billboards are an eye-catching and powerful way of getting dynamic messages and promotional content in front of your customers.
Affordable, content-rich, and easy-to-use digital billboards allow dynamic messaging updates while reducing print and administrative costs.
Digital Billboards can accomplish a variety of tasks depending on your needs. They can advertise, promote, and inform individuals with all kinds of information. When the information changes, so do the signs. This unique adaptability allows digital signage to excel in many areas where traditional signs and print media falters.
Gone are the days of printing and re-printing signs every time a product has been altered or a menu updated.
Do I have to learn a whole new system?
No! We design, publish, and support everything for you! We create your digital billboard content to match your business branding and schedule the content to display at your desired times. We monitor and support the media player hardware.
If you would like direct access to add content to the screen playlists, we can easily provide access to add more photos, slides, and videos.
How much does digital billboards cost?
Our digital billboard services begin with a one-time setup fee to design your content and first set of shows. There is a monthly subscription that covers the support and maintenance of your billboard system. If there is ever an issue with your media player, we replace it immediately with a new one. We only charge for the services you wish to use... adding more digital screens, creating new shows or custom content, etc.
There are no hidden fees. Start out small and grow your display network at your own pace. We support you every step of the way.

Can I keep using my existing TV programming?
Yes! Our system can continue to use your original TV shows (cable sports, news, etc.) with a focus on your business, services, and products!
How do I get content updates?
Our digital signage player boxes connect to our cloud services via your WiFi or Ethernet. Published changes are typically downloaded and displayed within minutes!
How does the design process work?
All custom design work is handled by our team. We are not a franchise and we do not outsource. Depending upon the nature of design requirements, most digital signage projects can take about two to three weeks from start to finish. Here is a general outline of our project design process:
- We conduct an initial project and design meeting with the client. The following items are reviewed:
- The client and project details from the initial questionnaire.
- The number of digital screens, monitor orientations (landscape and portrait), and the screen layouts the client wants to use.
- The media types, widgets, features, and custom elements the client wants to use.
- Client provides all required documentation, including:
- All logos, images, video, audio, web links, and text items.
- All additional design element requests, such as brand style guides, colors pallet requirements, and font preferences,
- The initial project concept draft is created. Client receives a video link to review and provide feedback for revisions.
- Revisions are then implemented.
- Second project draft is created and video link shared with client for review and final feedback for revisions.
- Last set of revisions are implemented.
- Design phase deliverables are complete and ready to deploy at client locations.
- Each digital signage project includes a maximum of two (2) sets of revisions through the course of the initial project setup. Any additional revisions are invoiced for a minimum of three (3) additional design hours per revision.
All communication, requests, and revisions are coordinated by your dedicated contact.
Can I control the type of outside ads that play on my screens?
Absolutely! We have a thorough review process and established guidelines for advertisers on our digital billboard network. You have the final approval of what is displayed on your screens.
How do non-competitive ads work?
An advertisement from a competitor will not be displayed on your digital billboard. As an example: The owner of a BBQ restaurant has digital billboard screens showcasing their specials and events. Local business ads are also displayed, but the network is set to ensure no other restaurant ads are displayed at the BBQ restaurant. The owner of the BBQ restaurant has the ability to approve what ads play at their location.
