If you own a small business, you know how much work it takes to attract customers, build your brand, boost revenue and stay ahead of the competition. The best digital signage software and content management system (CMS) can make achieving those goals easier.
Older digital signage systems often complicate the process and add hassle, as they require someone to walk a flash drive from screen to screen or wire a computer to every display. With the enhanced Samsung VXT, all that comes to an end. Combined with digital signage, the remotely managed VXT is able to generate attention-grabbing content and engaging in-store experiences to improve your bottom line. Here’s how.
A brand-building user experience that boosts revenue
Samsung VXT, a cloud-based CMS, allows you to tailor displays to business needs across multiple industries, including retail, hospitality, sports, finance and food and beverage.
Restaurant owners highlight deals and tempt diners
Elevate your restaurant with a dynamic digital menu or order-confirmation board. Use a digital menu display to showcase daily specials, new dishes and bestsellers, as diners buy what they notice. VXT features like Favorites-Based Browsing make it easy to find and reuse your most effective content, while the Content Preview tool ensures your changes appear exactly as expected before going live. You can also eliminate manual data entry and make updates even more quickly by pairing your point-of-sale (POS) system with the Link My POS app, keeping seasonal items, meal combos and limited-time deals current with less work.
Enterprises brand their business and assist shoppers
Samsung retail LED digital signage serves as a silent salesperson. Sleek, easily updated displays make for a unique in-store experience, helping customers find what they’ve come to buy and promoting on-sale items, new arrivals and seasonal deals. The Info Card feature provides customers with quick-access details on products, services and promotions, while the Weather Channel widget keeps your signage relevant with real-time updates. Enhanced ticker customization also lets you time promotional messages to specific events, so your signage adapts automatically as conditions change.
Boutique owners showcase merchandise
VXT enables business owners to elevate visual merchandising and create engaging in-store experiences that prompt buyers to take action. Many purchases are impulsive, and digital signage helps convert those impulses into revenue. With Global Tags and Essential Tags, you can organize and categorize content efficiently, ensuring you display the right messaging at the right time for maximum impact. Weighted and shuffle playback settings make it easy to give featured merchandise more airtime without rebuilding your playlist from scratch.
Small businesses make instant updates to stay ahead of trends
Time is money, and Samsung VXT helps you save both. Launch promos, update your business hours or change prices immediately using the intuitive, centralized interface. Multi-Takeover lets you synchronize playlists across screens for time-based promotions, like a happy hour push at a set time each day, while the Early Warning Report flags potential issues before they cause downtime. From retail signage to service menu boards, VXT makes it easier to keep your content current and relevant.
Info that’s interactive, easy to use and delivered in real time
The VXT solution for small businesses includes everything you need to get the most from your digital signage. Here’s what to expect:
- Ease of use: This CMS is intuitive and lets you design, schedule and manage digital displays, all from a single interface — in store or on the go.
- Real-time content updates: With VXT, you can update information promptly to promote sales, update menu items or brief customers on special events.
- Interactivity: For public-facing displays, touch capabilities let customers interact with your content — they may browse products, read reviews and learn more about your services.
- Remote management: Use an internet-connected device to monitor and control a display from almost anywhere. Real-time troubleshooting, access control and content updates require no on-site involvement, so you can run the system with little effort.
- Cost savings: Spend less on printed materials, installation and the physical labor of traditional signage.
- Sustainability: By switching to digital displays, you’ll reduce paper waste and improve sustainability. VXT also lets you adjust screen settings to conserve energy, with a brightness control and an automatic on/off timer.
Built to keep your content dynamic, secure and fresh
Beyond the core CMS features, VXT comes packed with tools to keep your signage running smoothly.
Real-time, event-triggered content
Event Manager and Data Sync allow businesses to create event-triggered content based on time, network connections, SmartThings sensors and touch interactions. Real-time data source integration keeps content dynamic and relevant without forcing you to update it manually.
Enterprise-grade security
VXT includes app and firmware updates to keep your system running with the latest features and security enhancements. Samsung purposefully sought ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications, top-tier security qualifications with encrypted logins, strict access controls and secure external system connections. The Screen Monitoring Lock also prevents unauthorized access and keeps your digital signage secure at all times.
