With displays spread over wide distances, digital signage service integrators need a solution to improve its operations, increase return on investment, and bag new business possibilities. Experts point to the Internet of Things (IoT) as the most promising technology that suits the above purposes. So, what happens when digital signage is integrated with IoT?
With the proliferation of the IoT, there generated plenty of data sources to connect and communicate with. These data sources will pave the way to completely integrated experiences that businesses can only imagine. Digital signage allows brands to deliver messages to the audience in real-time. IoT-enabled smart signage makes this process easier, quicker, and more cost-effective. These organizations can provide consumers with the information they need.

IoT-enabled digital signage improves the in-store experience by offering targeted advertising related to the products and services that consumers are already shopping for. It can also keep the customer up-to-date with the latest product and promotional offerings. This is all done by analyzing the gathered IoT data.
