1. Digital Signage DistributorsDistributors come in many flavors. Some distributors specialize only in Digital Signage. Others are AV or IT distributors with a digital signage division. Still others have digital signage inside their product lines with no separate business unit.
AV and IT are not the only industries pursuing digital signage. For example, the POS industry, industrial computing, traditional signage, broadcast, and even telecom now look to take their share of digital signage.
Many observers are watching the actions of the large IT distributors as they educate their large reseller base to engage digital signage as a new IT category.

2 Reaching Networks
Monetize, accumulate, operate and finance the media of digital signage
Network owners and agencies who act as network aggregators play an important role in deciding the hardware and software as well as the content in EMEA’s digital signage networks.
Success is all about partnership in digital signage.
Network owners & aggregators
Advertising supports much of
digital signage
Most players need to find, sign and motivate partnerships to survive..
Partnership.
The Digital Signage Chain
But When Competition IncreasesOnly the best of partnerships will survive…
Companies who once did only media may slide into hardware and software (and vice versa)
3 Reaching Agencies
Develop content, recommend software/hardware, stimulate the market
» Where once there were “advertising agencies” today there are “digital marketing agencies”
» Many of these have adopted a proactive approach and for some digital signage is their media of choice
» Leading by content but also leading by innovation, by adopting the newest technologies and introducing these to their clients. Early adopter as a business model.
AGENCIES
Some agencies specialize in Digital Signage
…And these agencies often have official “partners” in digital signage, instead of being vendor-agnostic
This level of competition in a greenfield industry means that the FREQUENCY of a weekly newsletter like DSN EMEA and the SHARE OF MIND it earns is important to success.
Some companies are “AGENCIES+”
As agencies develop innovation as value-added, they can look like full-service providers.
In the New World, agencies can become distributors of software (and even hardware)
? But wait… There’s More!
Yes, there are other important players…
Digital Signage is still a greenfield industry and many are finding their path. For example, this is a company joining in from VIDEO
PRODUCTION to digital signage content.
While there are many entries from different places, let us tell you about the other main categories that make up our DSN EMEA readership…
» Vendors often partner with one another (such as hardware players teaming up with software)
» Consultants (both marketing consultants, project consultants, technical consultants, retail consultants, well, you get the idea…)
MORE readers of DSN EMEA
» Mobile is colliding with digital signage in interesting ways…
» End Users: almost any business is a prospect these days but DSN EMEA targets only those large enough to deal direct with vendors or largest system integrators
!And that’s why… our publishing assets in IT, mobile, pro AV, broadcasting and even Apple channels give us the edge in our digital signage newsletter & web site
