Potent, Powerful, Purposeful: How Digital Signage Can Increase Your Bottom Line
Opening Keynote presented by Beth Warren of Creative Realities Inc.
The way business and brands will grow in the future isn’t the way it grew in the past—and technology has become a mediator and a medium of making the cash register ring. In this session, we’ll explore how digital signage technologies can help drive the acquisition of new customers, retain and keep customers in their current habits, and how to ensure digital always remains a potent, powerful, purposeful source of business growth irrespective of vertical or consumer target. We’ll take a deep dive into brands and enterprises who are doing this wit and wisdom, and critique those that could do with some serious transformation.
