Transform the Customer Experience in New Ways

To compete in today’s retail landscape, creating engaging, dynamic shopping environments is no longer optional — it’s essential for survival. Retail digital signage has emerged as a cornerstone technology serving this need, helping brands bridge the gap between digital and physical retail experiences. As consumer expectations evolve, innovative digital signage solutions are transforming how retailers communicate, engage, and convert customers.

Following years of online sales growth, people are now investing more heavily in the real-world, brick-and-mortar shopping experience. According to an annual retail study from IBM and the National Retail Federation, 72% of consumers rely on physical stores as their primary shopping method. Hybrid shopping journeys — blending physical and digital channels — are now the expectation and retailers should strive to meet their customers where they want to be engaged.

Below, we’re exploring five retail digital signage solutions that are reshaping the retail environment.

1. AI-Driven Personalization

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing retail digital signage by delivering personalized, contextual content to shoppers. These smart systems analyze real-time data to adjust messaging based on factors like time of day, weather conditions, and current store traffic patterns. By leveraging AI, retailers can:

  • Deliver targeted promotions based on demographic insights
  • Adjust content dynamically based on inventory levels
  • Optimize messaging for maximum engagement
  • Track and analyze customer interaction patterns

2. Interactive Touchscreens

Interactive touchscreen displays transform passive viewers into active participants, creating memorable brand experiences that drive engagement and sales. Modern touchscreen solutions offer:

  • Product customization interfaces
  • Wayfinding capabilities
  • Endless aisle functionality
  • Virtual try-on experiences
  • Product information lookup

These interactive elements not only enhance the customer experience but also provide valuable data about customer preferences and behaviors.

3. IoT Integration

The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating unprecedented opportunities for connected retail experiences. By integrating digital signage with IoT sensors and systems, retailers can unlock a variety of advantages. For example, retailers can synchronize display content with inventory management systems or trigger relevant content based on proximity sensors, and even enable real-time price and promotion updates. IoT integration also hypercharges data collection — allowing the monitoring and optimization of energy usage or to collect and analyze foot traffic patterns.

4. Go Bold with Video Walls

Large-scale, multi-screen displays create powerful brand experiences and showcase dynamic content to capture shopper attention. Video walls can transform any retail space, from entryway to specialized product nook, into an immersive brand environment. With this bold approach, retailers can engage customers no matter the stage of their buying journey.
