Big business reach. Small business budget.
Display Ad Network is a screen network built for Charlottesville. We put screens in local businesses so other local businesses can reach their neighbors, and so the venues hosting them earn from every ad.
Why we built it
Local businesses have two kinds of advertising to choose from. Big media (billboards, TV, radio) reaches lots of people but costs thousands a month and can't tell you what worked. Online ads are cheaper but fight for a thumb that never stops scrolling, and most of the people who see them live nowhere near your door.
We wanted something in between: affordable, local, and measured. A screen in a coffee shop or salon reaches people who are nearby, sitting still and looking up. A QR code on every ad shows exactly who responded.
How we work
- Venues first. They approve every ad, keep a quarter of the loop for themselves and share in the revenue.
- Honest numbers. We report plays and scans as measured, and label estimates as estimates.
- Done for you. Design, scheduling, screens and reports are on us, so owners can run their businesses.
