A business opportunity: accessible indoor media
The indoor digital advertising market is growing rapidly. You’ve probably seen screens in gyms, clinics, barbershops, or pharmacies displaying ads. What most people don’t know is that you can start your own media business in this niche with minimal investment using SignsBy.
SignsBy turns any TV into a fully managed digital signage display without extra hardware. That means you can start a real, scalable business with no technical barriers.
How the business model works
You place TVs in strategic local businesses — gyms, salons, clinics, restaurants, etc. — and display ads from nearby stores. These businesses pay you a monthly fee to appear on your network of screens.
Everything is controlled remotely through the SignsBy platform. You can create playlists with images, videos, YouTube links, or social media posts and schedule them by time and location.
What you need to start
It’s very easy to start with SignsBy. You’ll need:
- A TV with a modern web browser (Smart TV or equivalent);
- Internet connection (Wi-Fi or cable);
- A free SignsBy account with 7-day trial;
- Ad content from clients (or offer to create it for them).
No complex systems or players are required. Just set up and manage everything remotely from your browser.
How much can you charge?
Monthly fees vary by location and exposure. On average, you can charge $20 to $60 per advertiser per month.
One screen with 10 advertisers could earn you $200 to $600/month — with almost no overhead.
Best locations for this model
Places with strong local foot traffic work best:
- Gyms: segmented audience, daily activity;
- Clinics and dental offices: waiting time = attention time;
- Restaurants and cafés: ideal for visual promotions;
- Beauty salons and barbershops;
- Pharmacies and pet stores.
How to get local advertisers
Start with a few free spots for strategic partners to build credibility. Then approach nearby businesses, show the screen in action, and explain the benefits of 24/7 local visibility.
