LED screens are no longer just decorative elements: they are powerful marketing and sales tools. Their ability to capture attention, deliver real-time messages, and persuade customers makes them strategic allies for restaurants, airports, and shopping malls.


How do LED screens drive sales?

The secret lies in their immediate visual influence. A Statista study revealed that 60% of consumers make their purchase decision at the point of sale, and digital signage is key to guiding that decision.

The most relevant commercial benefits:

  • Real-time promotions: activate discounts based on schedules or demand.

  • Cross-selling: highlight complementary products.

  • Impulse buying: dynamic and attractive visuals stimulate quick decisions.

  • Third-party advertising: monetize spaces with ads from partner brands.



Restaurants: From Digital Menus to Impulse Sales

LED screens in restaurants not only inform but also persuade.

  • Digital menus that highlight the most profitable dishes.

  • Flash offers to increase turnover during off-peak hours.

  • Visual promotions that stimulate extra orders (drinks, desserts).

Real example: Domino’s Pizza implemented LED screens to display dynamic offers, achieving a 23% increase in family combo sales (Nielsen).



Airports: High-Impact Programmatic Advertising

With millions of people in transit, airports are the perfect stage to sell through LED screens.

  • Programmatic advertising tailored to flights, destinations, and schedules.

  • Promotions targeted at frequent travelers or tourists.

  • Dynamic messages in waiting areas that encourage duty-free purchases.

Success case: At Dubai International Airport, LED screens personalize ads based on passengers’ nationality, increasing duty-free sales by 27%.



Shopping Malls: Experiences that Drive Sales

In malls, LED screens turn visits into experiences that boost consumption.

  • Shared promotions between brands (e.g., fashion + accessories).

  • Live events broadcast on screens with purchase call-to-actions.

  • QR code integration leading to e-commerce or exclusive promotions.

Highlighted example: Unicentro Shopping Mall (Colombia) used interactive LED screens for fashion campaigns, generating a 35% increase in visits to participating stores.



Benefits of Using LED Screens as a Sales Channel

  • Direct revenue increase by highlighting key promotions.

  • Total flexibility to update prices and campaigns without printing.

  • Stronger brand recall through immersive experiences.

  • Space monetization with external advertising.

  • Accurate measurement of each digital campaign’s impact.
