What is DOOH advertising, and how does Simi Connect support it?

DOOH (Digital Out-of-Home) advertising uses digital screens in public spaces to display dynamic ads and content. Simi Connect provides a comprehensive platform for businesses to manage and display targeted ads on screens across multiple locations, transforming any Smart TV or monitor into a powerful advertising medium.

Simi  combines ease of use, global accessibility, and advanced features like real-time content updates and ad revenue sharing. Businesses can manage multiple screens across venues from a single app, schedule content, and even earn passive income by displaying ads on their screens.

Simi Connect offers three dedicated apps to help you manage and display your digital signage content:

  • SIMI AdDisplay: This app is designed for Android screens, allowing you to turn any Android device into a dynamic digital signage display for ads and content.
  • SIMI AdTV: Ideal for Smart TVs and media sticks, SIMI AdTV enables you to easily transform compatible TVs into advertising screens, perfect for various venues.
  • SIMI Digital: This app is your central hub for managing all your content. It allows you to create, schedule, and control digital signage across multiple screens and locations from one easy-to-use platform.

These apps work seamlessly together to ensure that you have full control over your digital signage network, providing a smooth experience for creating and managing content.

With Simi Digital, you can display a wide range of content, including advertisements, promotional videos, slideshows, social media feeds, real-time updates, and interactive elements like QR codes. Canva integration also allows users to create visually engaging campaigns effortlessly.

Yes, Simi Connect offers a revenue-sharing program that enables businesses to earn money by displaying third-party ads on their digital screens. The income depends on factors like screen location, audience reach, and frequency of ads shown.

Simi Digital has a user-friendly interface to create, schedule, and manage content from any device, anywhere in the world. You can upload media, customise campaigns and set display times for specific screens or locations, all from a centralised dashboard.
