Meanwhile, during the advertising campaign with the help of Digital Signage consumers drew more attention to the product being promoted and remember its name and description. It should be noted that the cost in recent years, the deployment of the system for a small shop or café greatly decreased, which means that you can count on a quick return on the project.

Lack of compatibility. Digital Signage Products are typically closed systems. Advertising campaign in several networks Digital Signage, built on the basis of different products, due to the technical difficulties which are not seen on television and the Internet. The absence of a common communication protocol makes it difficult to work with multiple networks, it increases cost and complicates the extension of the networks themselves. Currently, organizations such as the Point-of-Purchase Advertising International (POPAI) and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA), actively develop and promote open standards that enable communication between dissimilar networks. This should increase competition among suppliers and lead to a decrease in investments (CAPEX) in deploying Digital Signage.

A complex chain of suppliers. The project Digital Signage network deployment contractors may be involved in the following areas: displays, media players, software, planning, installation, maintenance, network and network equipment, the creation of content, advertising sales. So project management is a difficult task. At present, the individual segments of the long chain is gradually being consolidated and market players together and expand the scope of its competence.

Incomplete understanding. Despite the development of technology and popularity, the general lack of understanding of its foundations – a frequent phenomenon. Digital Signage TV is not in terms of audio content, or in terms of size and position displays. However, more and more increasing exhibition activity and the increase in the number of conferences organized by the thematic experts contribute to a better awareness and wider audience.
