CLICK TO BRICK: THE EVOLUTION OF HYBRID MARKETING

How many times has your creative team had to rebuild an asset from scratch to fit in-store screens? Or worse, how often were window prices not aligned with your e-commerce?

Integration is the Holy Grail of operational efficiency. And modern Digital Signage cannot be an island.

At Voome, we believe the signage platform must talk via API with the rest of your ecosystem:

Automated Social Walls to bring UGC in-store.

ERP/PIM Integration for instant price updates.

Programmatic Advertising to manage complex media campaigns.

You don’t need to “learn a new trade.” If you can manage a campaign on Meta, you can already manage a Voome network. Same targeting logic, same need for precise analytics, but real physical impact.

Let’s bring the web User Experience inside the store walls.

If you work in digital marketing in 2025, your Tech Stack is likely locked in. You live inside Meta Business Suite and Google Ads dashboards, while your creative teams work magic on Canva and Adobe Creative Cloud. You have a crystal-clear vision of the Funnel, e-commerce, and online User Experience.

Yet, there is a crucial touchpoint that often remains an isolated silo, managed like it’s still the 90s: the screen in the physical retail store.

At Voome, we believe Digital Signage isn’t just “a TV on the wall.” It is a full-blown performance marketing channel. For those coming from the web world, the good news is that the logic is identical. If you can manage a social campaign, you already know (almost) how to manage an Enterprise Digital Signage network.

Here is how to translate your digital skills into the physical world using an advanced solution like Voome Digital Signage Cloud Platform.

1. From Static Layouts to Dynamic CMS: Beyond the PDF

We all know the classic workflow: the designer creates the visual in Photoshop or lays out the poster in InDesign. File closed, sent to print (or exported as a JPG on a USB stick), end of story. This approach is obsolete in modern retail.

In Digital Signage, the CMS (Content Management System)—like Voome’s—is not just a repository, but a real-time rendering engine. Think of it as the shift from a static PDF to a responsive website.

  • InDesign manages static space.

  • Voome manages space and time.

On our platform, you don’t just upload a “flat” image. You work in Layers, exactly like in Photoshop, but they are alive. The background is a 4K video, above it is a transparent layer with Price Points pulled dynamically from your ERP, and in the corner, a live weather or social widget. You aren’t “drawing”; you are “programming” a data-driven visual experience.

2. Segmentation & Targeting: From “Social Network” to “Physical Zone”

On social media, the golden rule is: Right content, right audience, right platform. You don’t post the same content on TikTok (Gen Z, entertainment) as you do on LinkedIn (B2B, corporate). You differentiate the message based on the digital “place.”

Digital Signage applies this exact logic but maps the physical territory.

  • The Window Display: This is your Instagram Feed or Meta Ads. It must capture attention in 3 seconds (Awareness). This is where eye-catching videos and flash promos belong.

  • In-Store & Shelf: This is your Landing Page or E-commerce Product Page. Here, the customer is already “acquired.” Screens must inform, explain, and drive Up-selling and Cross-selling.

With Voome, you can target based on geographic location (North vs. South, City Center vs. Mall) or store zone, exactly like creating Custom Audiences in your Business Manager.

3. The Playlist is Your Editorial Calendar (With Superpowers)

You know the drill with scheduling tools like Sprout Social or Hootsuite: you decide the day, time, and frequency of posts. In Digital Signage, this is called a Playlist, but it’s an editorial calendar powered by Dayparting.

  • Morning (8:00 – 11:00): The coffee shop promotes cappuccinos and croissants (Breakfast target).

  • Lunch (12:00 – 14:00): The same screen automatically switches assets to push the Business Lunch.

  • Afternoon: Happy Hour mode on.

No human intervention is needed every time. It is Marketing Automation applied to the physical world. You set the rules once in the Voome CMS, and the system distributes the content across 10, 100, or 1000 screens in sync.

4. Analytics & Diagnostics: Beyond “Vanity Metrics” to “Device Health”

An offline website is a disaster for revenue. That’s why you monitor server uptime. In Digital Signage, a black screen is the enemy.

This is where the substantial difference between a USB player and an Enterprise solution comes into play. You need an advanced Diagnostics tool:

  • Is the device online? (Heartbeat)

  • What is playing? (Proof of Play)

  • Is the CPU temperature okay?

While Google Analytics tells you who visited the site, Voome’s diagnostics ensure the “site” (the screen) is actually visible. And thanks to integration with sensors and Computer Vision, today we can even track real Impressions and Attention Time, closing the metrics loop exactly like on the web.

5. Retail Media & Programmatic: Monetizing Your Space (pDOOH)

If you manage media budgets, you know Programmatic Advertising. You buy ad space via real-time bidding to reach your target. Digital Signage has brought this logic to the physical world (pDOOH – Programmatic Digital Out of Home).

Your screens are not just a cost center: they are Digital Real Estate Assets.

  • You can become a “Publisher” yourself.

  • Do you have a network in a supermarket? You can sell ad slots to the brands you carry (e.g., Coca-Cola, Barilla) programmatically.

  • Host third-party campaigns when you don’t have priority proprietary content.

All of this is managed by the same Voome platform, seamlessly integrating ad-tech flows.

6. API Integration: The Holy Grail of Efficiency

We arrive at the Pain Point for many marketing teams: duplication of work. “I made the post for Facebook, now I have to remake it for the screen, then send it via WeTransfer…”

Stop. Modern Digital Signage integrates via API and Feeds with your web ecosystem.

  • Uploaded a new collection to your e-commerce site? Images and prices on in-store screens update automatically.

  • Running a strong campaign on Instagram? Create an in-store Social Wall that reposts User Generated Content (UGC) or your latest posts in real-time.

Conclusion: The Last Mile of Digital Strategy

For those living the omnichannel life, Digital Signage is not “alien” technology. It is simply the last mile of your digital strategy.

Using a platform like Voome means bringing the flexibility, measurability, and automation of the web inside the physical walls of the retail store. It means optimizing business processes, reducing campaign Time-to-Market, and ensuring total Brand Consistency, from smartphone to storefront.

Don’t look at those screens as TVs. Look at them as dynamic canvases ready to react to your marketing strategy.
