Key Findings

#1 Where’s the ROI?

Branches with interactive signage see more ROI on their investment.

72% of Financial Institutions with Interactive Digital Signage, such as touchscreen kiosks and tablets, say it has improved sales efforts. While most banks and credit unions say proving ROI is one of their most difficult struggles, Digital Signage is one of the easiest to calculate ROI. The key difference is interactive Digital Signage.  Branch networks with interactive are able to test messaging, promote more products, and create a better client experience.

#2 How much do I have to spend?

Most marketers plan to spend about $10k on Digital Signage this year. However, branch networks with interactive Digital Signage spent about $75k last year on Digital Signage. Typically, a larger budget for digital equates to a more diverse mix of Digital Signage. Meaning, those who are spending more have more than just the standard screens.

#3 How can Digital Signage solve problems?

Proving value in marketing has been a problem for ages, so it’s no surprise Digital Signage has the same challenge. The top three problems most financial institutions face with Digital Signage include: proving the value, updating content and cost. All three of the biggest problems with Digital Signage can be attributed to outdated technology, processes and software. To truly make the most of your Digital Signage efforts, shifting to a cloud-based solution that can be centrally managed by a marketing team brings a lot of ease and convenience, versus outdated and unreliable USB plugs.

“We know that Digital Signage is the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective way to transform a branch and enhance the client experience.
