Get the most out of your budget
There's no doubt about the value digital signage brings, but for many businesses, the cost of equipment can be a challenge.
Fortunately, there are strategies and tips that can help you find affordable hardware and screens without compromising on quality.
In this article, we’ll walk through practical advice to help you get the most out of your budget.
Explore used alternatives
One of the best tips for finding affordable digital signage equipment is to look for used options.
Many businesses regularly upgrade their screens and hardware, making older models available at lower prices.
The challenge is knowing where to look.
Bankruptcy sales, online forums, and local marketplaces are common sources.
It’s also worth checking social media to spot good deals.
Make sure to check the condition carefully and test the equipment before buying.
Sales and offers
Sales and promotions are a great way to find affordable equipment and screens for digital signage.
There are major electronics retailers that specialize in displays and digital signage gear.
They often run seasonal sales where you can get quality equipment at reduced prices.
Examples include stores like Best Buy, Newegg, or B&H Photo Video.
You can also sign up for their newsletters or follow them on social media to stay updated on deals.
Compare prices and models
Before buying any equipment or screens, it's important to compare prices and models from different suppliers.
At Fyresign, we recommend using Samsung or LG for your digital signage displays. They offer competitive prices and have models suited for all sizes and use cases.
Functionality and quality vary between models, but in most cases, you'll get a more than sufficient solution from either brand.
Buy in bulk
If you're planning to set up multiple digital signage units, buying equipment in bulk can be a smart move.
Many suppliers offer discounts on larger orders, which helps lower the cost per unit.
If you're looking to buy in volume and aren't sure who to contact, we at FyreSign work with several partners in Norway who can offer competitive pricing.
Before making a decision, it’s always worth negotiating. Ask if they can give you a better deal for a bigger order.
Consider screen size and resolution
Screen size and resolution are two factors that directly impact the price of a digital signage display.
They’re also critical for how well your content is presented.
Make sure the screen you choose can display your message clearly and effectively—don’t focus only on price.
Digital signage is a valuable tool, and visibility plays a big role in how effective it is.
