Identify Types of Billboards

First, you need to find the right fit for your business. There are two types of digital signage: indoor and outdoor. Indoors, digital billboards excel as interactive nodes, whether you’re using them as self-serve kiosks, integrating online shopping with in-person retail, or adding Augmented Reality to a space. They also provide high-quality visuals that can help communicate your message or stand out in a crowded retail environment.

Outdoor billboards excel at monetization, out of home advertising, and sponsorship fulfillment, but our weather-rated digital outdoor billboards are just as capable of interactivity as indoor solutions.

Both indoor and outdoor solutions are also great for flexible wayfinding signage, especially in stadiums, theaters, convention centers, and venues with regular programming changes.

Industries That Can Make Use of Digital Billboards

In the right hands, digital billboards have the power to transform spaces, events, and experiences. Industries from healthcare and government to event planning and marketing can elevate their projects and create something truly unique with the help of digital billboards.

Outdoor and indoor digital billboards can benefit a long list of industries including:

• Retail and commercial properties
• Music festivals, concerts, and stadiums
• Casinos, amusement parks, and attractions
• Convention centers and tradeshows
• Hospitals and healthcare industries
• Hotels and hospitality
• Smart city developments
• Government offices

As digital displays become more affordable and easier to implement across environments, they’re quickly becoming industry standard in commercial and public settings. Flexible programming, interactivity, self-check-in menus and concierge services, and gamification potential have opened the doors for widespread applications.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent indoor video wall or a pop up rental for brand activations, we have the solution. It’s time to meet the herd.

Kinyei

This outdoor, portable digital billboard is made for immersive interaction and excels at 1-on-1 campaigns.

Combine visibility, brightness, and reach.

What businesses can benefit most from Kinyei?

• Festivals and concerts
• Marketing agencies and brand activations
• Retail and hospitality

Rolo

In general, Rolo is your best option for digital signage installations. The screen is positioned higher than the Kinyei, which makes it ideal for mass communications and messaging. With 4K resolution, it excels at wayfinding and displaying high-resolution content. Its touch screen makes it an excellent digital kiosk for donations and self-service.

Rolo has widespread application, but it can deliver extra benefits to:

• Charities, places of worship, and schools
• Hospitals and healthcare
• Museums, parks, and historic sites
• Commercial and residential landlords

Hathi

The slick and slim Hathi fits well into any indoor space. If footprint is a concern, Hathi slides in wherever you need it. Hathi is especially useful for pop up shops and seasonal retail that only plan to use their space for a limited time and need to make the most of limited square footage. For businesses operating on a temporary basis, renting digital signage is a cost-effective way to attract attention or reduce wait times with a self-serve kiosk.

Hathi is great for:

• Seasonal and pop up retail
• Hospitality, festivals, trade shows, and any event that needs check-in solutions
• University campuses and commercial landlords for wayfinding

The battery-operated Horton is another great product for tight or crowded spaces. Because it is battery-operated, you don’t need to use power cords that can get in the way or require you to take steps to reduce tripping hazard risks. It’s non-intrusive and can be rolled into place wherever you need it.

Horton fits best in situations like:

• Retail
• Banks
• Government service offices

• Retail
• Hospitality
• University and workplace campuses
