Display Ad NetworkLOCAL ADS YOU CAN TRACK
Charlottesville's local screen network

Show up where people are.

Your 15-second ad plays on screens inside the coffee shops, salons and waiting rooms your customers already visit. Every ad carries a QR code, so you can see exactly who scanned.

How it works

From idea to on-screen in about a week

We design your ad

Tell us what you want to promote. We send you a free mockup of your 15-second ad with your own tracked QR code. You approve it before anything runs.

It plays around town

Your ad rotates on every screen in the zones you pick, about 7 times an hour, all open hours. Each venue approves the ads on its own screens.

You see what worked

Every month you get a one-page report: plays, scans by zone and hour, and in-store offer redemptions. No guessing.

Why screens in local businesses

The ad they can't scroll past

Online ads fight for a thumb that never stops moving. A screen in a waiting area gets 15 seconds of real attention from someone who lives or works nearby.

  • Local reach. Every viewer is physically in your part of town.
  • Repeat views. At a typical 30-minute wait, a regular sees your ad several times.
  • Measured. Unique QR codes per zone and offer codes for the register.
  • Done for you. Design, scheduling and reporting are included.

Questions

Quick answers

How much does it cost?
Packages start at $249 a month for one zone of screens, with ad design, a tracked QR code and a monthly report included. Start with a 2-month trial, then month to month. We'll quote the exact package after your free mockup.
How do I know if it works?
Every ad gets its own QR code for each zone, so we count real scans by place and hour. Add an offer code and we count redemptions at your register too. It all lands in a one-page report each month.
Who decides which ads run in a venue?
The venue does. Each venue owner approves the ads on their own screens and can block categories (for example, competitors or alcohol). Our content policy applies on top.
Where are the screens?
Founding locations are launching this fall in Charlottesville coffee shops, salons and waiting rooms. See the network.
