Winning awards, multi-user teams, Slack app and a look at producing real business results for a Deli customer. Here’s what’s new with ScreenCloud this month.

There’s nothing we love more than hearing from businesses who are fighting real customer pain points using digital signage. Mitchell’s Delicatessen is a deli located in Nashville who began using ScreenCloud a couple of months ago.

They started with a few videos of underperforming menu items. One was this delicious smoked chicken that their customers just weren’t connecting with. I know — we don’t get it either.

Smoked Chicken and Potatoes

Here’s the thing, a month on and they’re having to make sold out signs for the chicken counter. Here’s what they said:

“Just wanted to update you with some results from the in-store signage at the deli. You may remember that we originally created a smoked chicken video. This was because the deli was having trouble selling the chickens and wanted to pull them from the specials menu. The deli usually has 12 smoked chicken meals on offer. Pre-signage the most they’d ever sold was 4 out of 12 of those chickens.

I went in last Friday to pick up a chicken for myself and they were sold out. This had never happened before. Now they are regularly selling out and have even had to make a “sold out” sign for the chicken hot case.

This increase in sales can be directly linked to promotion on the digital sign.”

Start using digital signage to achieve similar results for your small business using this guide.

Remember last month when we said we were close to launching Slack app for your digital screens? Well guess what, it’s here!

Slack App allows you to share the pulse of your company comms more easily.

Select single messages or chat logs, then see messages appear on screen in real time. Filter content to show by selected channels, show just your pinned messages and auto play YouTube videos added to rooms.

We’d love to know your feedback — let us know what you think on hello@screen.cloud.
