Convert Visits into Community Engagement
By installing a network of signage in local businesses, Manchester can capture the attention of residents and visitors to promote local events, support small businesses, and even generate sustainable non-dues revenue for civic initiatives.
Magnify the Civic Voice
Directly broadcast Chamber events and Main Street initiatives to the sidewalk, not just an inbox.
Close the Local Loop
Use cross-promotional content to keep dollars and traffic within Manchester limits.
Unlock Non-Dues Revenue
Generate sustainable revenue while providing a low-cost advertising platform for small businesses in Manchester. Offer digital spots for as little as $25/month, allowing even the smallest business to be seen alongside major local anchors.
With a simple setup and high-quality templates, busy business owners don’t need a marketing department to look professional on the big screen. Unlike a one-time annual event, this creates a predictable, recurring monthly revenue stream for the Chamber that isn’t tied to event logistics.
Network Planner
This is an interactive tool to help chambers and community leaders estimate the revenue potential of a local digital signage network. By selecting real hubs in your community and adding hypothetical advertisers, you can see how visits translate into impressions and revenue.
