Zusammenfassung
In this paper we investigate why shop owners install Digital Signage.
From casual interviews we had the impression that most shops installed Digital
Signage just because their neighbors have it, too. We interviewed responsible
persons in 53 shops that use digital signage in Münster, Germany. On the
question “Why did you decide to use Digital Signage in your shop?” 21
different reasons were given, including the benefits of moving images, the ease
of exchanging content, and the ability of showing more content than on a poster
or on the shelf. However, in a follow-up question “How did you become aware
of Digital Signage?”, it subsequently turned out that for most of the shops, the
installation of Digital Signage was decided by central headquarters, and the
local branch had no choice about it.
