Amscreen is launching a new service, Amscreen LinkLocal, that allows local businesses to advertise on one of 3,000 digital signage screens up and down the country. The screens are situated in environments such as petrol stations, neighbourhood convenience stores and waiting areas of surgeries.
Using a live mapping service via their website, Amscreen LinkLocal provides a tailored search that enables businesses to pinpoint exactly where screens are located and to place messages on them. In addition, the service provides a series of eye-catching, easy-to-use templates where messages are overlaid and then submitted for completion.
Simon Sugar, CEO at Amscreen, says: “Small and local businesses have had a tough time recently and we think we’ve designed a product in Amscreen LinkLocal that assists them in a quick, affordable and user-friendly way. Our screens have already been very successful in providing a platform for blue chip advertisers to reach audiences up and down the country and now for the first time, smaller businesses can utilise a national digital signage network to promote their services.”
