Digital Signage screens represent active and dynamic solutions not only for retail stores. Their goal is to target advertising or information to specific customer groups.
Digital Signage is used to display information in various places. Initially, they were applied in public institutions and on vehicles as a way of displaying advertisements or public announcements. With the flourishing of the franchise business model, digital signage has expanded significantly in retail stores, especially fast-food restaurants.
The goal of Digital Signage screens and electronic menu boards is to target advertising or information to a specific customer, at a specific time and to a specified location.
Most menu boards, which are used in fast food restaurants, function as a menu overview, price list and promotion of special stock offers. However, some franchises have many operations spread across the country, making it difficult to keep all offers and pricing information consistent. With printed menu boards or regular digital boards that display the entire menu as a single video file, changing the displayed content can be quite complicated. In addition, it is impossible to manage different offers separately for each store from one central management system.
Ducrepitu’s digital menu boards and billboards offer a wide range of features, making them a digital signage solution for all retail store owners. The displays we offer are verified by the owners of more than 2,000 retail stores with more than 10,000 displays worldwide.
