Frequently Asked Questions from Advertisers

Who is going to see my message?

Any person in or passing through the waiting area will see your ad message. The exact demographic and quantity varies with time of day and location of the screen.

The digital advertising advantage is that the general profile of the audience is known. For example, a pediatrician’s waiting room will be an audience of young mothers and families within a given geographic radius; the vast majority of people getting their cars washed either live or work in the area. Local advertising targets local people with very little overlap and waste.
