Monetise your digital signage with retail media

Monetise Your Digital Signage with Retail Media

May 6, 2025

Retail media is one of the hottest topics in the industry right now, and for good reason. As retailers look to optimise every square meter of their physical space, one asset is emerging as a game-changer: the in-store retail media network.

This isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a strategic opportunity to transform your digital signage infrastructure into a powerful, retailer-controlled media channel. While many retailers want to explore this space, few know where to begin. That’s exactly where Visual Art steps in.

What is an In-Store Retail Media Network?

An in-store retail media network uses your store’s digital screens to deliver targeted advertising content, offering ad space to your brands and suppliers while keeping full control over what’s shown and when. Unlike third-party DOOH platforms, retailers own the network, the data, and the experience.

Done right, this network enables retailers to:

💡 Generate new, recurring revenue

💡 Enhance the customer experience with relevant messaging

💡 Balance promotional content with brand storytelling

It’s more than technology—it’s about designing an ecosystem where commercial goals and customer journeys align.

The Challenge: Everyone’s Talking About Retail Media. But How Do You Start?

You’ve likely heard about the potential of retail media. Maybe you’ve even been approached by brands looking to advertise in your stores. But the path from interest to execution is complex.

Retailers often ask:

⬛ Is this relevant for my business?

⬛ What does a sustainable business model look like?

⬛ How do I avoid disrupting the customer experience?

⬛ What technology do I need?

⬛ Who sells the ads? Who controls the message?

That’s where Visual Art brings clarity.
