Abstract:

Digital signage has found its place in the “paid-owned-earned” media model that drives communications investments. As the landscape of “owned” place-based media evolves rapidly in major markets such as retail, food services, hospitality, consumer services as well a staff and student communications, end users are also looking to improved sourcing approaches. In this “why are they paying the money” session, elements that justify and validate investment will also be addressed.

It is no longer about the technology, but how digital signage delivers increasing return on investment as use is increased to meet business goals.
