Non-Network

A Barking Snail non-network is an out-of-home network where you both own and control all the content on the network. You don’t have to share any revenue gained and of course no content time is shared in whatever rotation is setup. Barking Snail can still manage the network and design the content to make implementation and maintenance a snap. It’s not a matter of right or wrong — rather which of the two fit your needs at the time (network or non-network). Either option has the ability to migrate into the other. View our interactive demo for a more detailed explanation.

How Does It Work?

When someone walks through the doors of your establishment, whether yours is a retail, corporate, or hospitality environment, you have a captive audience. In the advertising world, that translates to liquid gold. You have the distinct opportunity to showcase your business and leave a lasting impression.

With our High Definition LCD screens, your options are limitless. Promote new products and services. Boast your great staff and high customer satisfaction ratings. Boost employee morale with messages that mark special occasions. Welcome special visitors. Screens can be split to display several elements at one time. And we can add other features too, such as news and local weather, to your mix. Read how it can work in a retail, corporate, or hospitality environment.

Want something more interactive? How about a Touch Screen Monitor in your waiting area or lounge? Customers can browse through product lines, services and any number of categories.

Is your business still working for you on-site even after you close? If you’re in a high traffic area, the answer should be a resounding “yes.” Let’s say you’re a retail site that closes at 8 p.m. but are next to a restaurant that gets traffic until after midnight. Take advantage of that onslaught of traffic with our “Touch-Through-Glass” Technology.

What Are the Benefits?

The benefits of owning and controlling your own out-of-home network are many. To start, you decide what content will play, when it will play and how it will appear. If you want to promote just your daily lunch and drink specials, great, and then run video clips of customers in your establishment on just Friday and Saturday in addition — perfect! You can track your responses in sales and feedback and make adjustments as you see fit. If you want all the content control but don’t have the time to manage the changes or create the content, Barking Snail can do that for you. Contact us to get started or with questions.

Retail

With consumers having so many choices available, digital signage can enhance your uniqueness and help increase sales on many levels. First, well-placed signage near the entrance can entice customers into your store. Inside, signs can guide customers towards certain promotions or purchases.

And, digital signage offers your message in a non-intrusive manner. Take for example the customer who has an “I’m just looking” approach to shopping. Signage can help in soft selling that customer without the intrusion of a sales associate, thereby improving that shopper’s experience and your chances of capitalizing on their visit to your store.

Unlike posters, digital signage can be:

modified instantly;
run various promotions at different times of the day or week; and
target specific audiences, announce sale items, incorporate “fun facts” or video that increase dwell time.

Corporate
