GreenScreens have been using ScreenCloud since 2018 as part of their approach to innovate Cannabis retail operations . We spoke with CMO Colton Keluche and the leadership team about the growing importance of the ‘connected store’ and how digital signage is helping dispensaries navigate the competitive landscape of the post-COVID world. 

Unlike a majority of industries during the pandemic, sales of legal Cannabis increased throughout, hitting a record of $17.5bn – a 46% increase from 2019-2020. 

According to a report by cannabinoid market research company BDSA, over the past year alone 30% of consumers have shopped for Cannabis more often. And with maturing markets like Illinois (who earned the largest dollar gain over 2020) and California (whose sales increased by $586m to $3.5bn last year – making it the largest Cannabis economy in the US), fulfilling demand has made the Cannabis retail space one of the most competitive markets in the United States.

As a highly regulated industry, dispensaries do not have access to typical marketing solutions like television, radio or billboards. Yet the number of dispensaries in the US outnumber McDonald's and Starbucks combined. Cannabis dispensaries therefore need to be even more strategic about how they connect with their customers when they’re already in store; enter GreenScreens.

While the results of 2020 indicate the Cannabis industry’s exponential growth, it is still a maturing – and heavily regulated – market. But it is also a competitive one. This has left room for experimentation and innovation, and ultimately, investment in new technologies like digital signage. 

“Convenience is king. The cannabis industry is at the heart of a low-input high-output consumer mindset. What delivery and pickup does for convenience, we aim to accomplish for the retail experience by constantly getting ahead of the market demands via showcasing relative data at the right time.”

GreenScreens champions what they call the ‘harmonized dispensary experience’ in a bid to unite such a  fragmented and highly regulated industry. Operating in such a volatile environment has meant digital engagement has become a critical consideration for dispensaries: it’s the key to educating, communicating and connecting with the customer to create a memorable retail experience, while also working to erase the stigmas surrounding the industry itself. 

The importance of enhanced digital engagement 

Within the retail space therefore, digital engagement is used as a vehicle to interact, connect and build relationships with customers;

“Today’s consumer doesn’t just want to make a purchase. They expect exceptional, informative and memorable experiences. So it's critical for our dispensary customers to stand out and utilize the tools that are available to them in order to connect and engage with their customers.” 

In this setting, digital signage is the ultimate marketing tool. By using screens for advertising, promotions and consumer-facing product menus, GreenScreens' dispensary customers are able to showcase their unique brand and messaging to create that consumer engagement from the moment they walk in the door. Importantly, this also allows them to nurture their relationships with their own customers;  

“A post-covid market has learned the convenience of self-guided shopping and decision making when given readily available product knowledge and information. The Cannabis industry is no different as tablets and integrated menus allow for ease of access to provide digital hand-holding while maintaining a familiar retail experience.”

Digital hand-holding: digital menu boards

Purchasing Cannabis from a legal dispensary is still a relatively new retail experience. This adds to the importance of creating a reliable shopping experience, along with efficiently educating consumers about the fundamentals of purchasing Cannabis products. Combined, this goes some way in lessening industry stigmas. 

By integrating real-time menu boards on consumer-facing screens, dispensaries are able to not only show what is available in-store, but GreenScreens pre-load each screen with a library of educational content to empower purchasing decisions. Aside from the educational aspect, this also frees up staff time, enhances the consumer experience and gives room for greater foot traffic.

While the in-store strategy of educating the consumer in order to make informed decisions, GreenScreens also encourages their customers to fully harness the powers of digital signage in the back office too. Surfacing retail performance analytics and other data dashboards on screens allows dispensary managers to make data-driven decisions to improve the daily running of their business;

“Tools and solutions for Cannabis dispensary operators are emerging, but we have to remember that this industry isn't even in its crawling phase. There is a lot to learn as the landscape continues to evolve, so current products and solutions are adapting while others continue to emerge to meet new challenges head on.”

GreenScreens and ScreenCloud: A Joint Effort in Revolutionizing the Cannabis Buying Experience 

Employee engagement and internal communications are hot topics. They always have been. But now that the working environment is becoming more complex – especially for Enterprise-level businesses like BASF – having a solid strategy in place has become more than a necessity. 

It’s a subject we talk (and write) about a lot at ScreenCloud; it was also the central theme of our latest webinar: “Why screens are your best opportunity to improve the new workplace experience.” 

Improving the workplace experience has been a(n understandably) major concern for BASF; we think that they have one of the most sophisticated understandings of how to utilize screens for internal communications and employee engagement. 

Which is why we invited Maggie Krol (BASF Multimedia Comms Specialist) and Stefan Glut (BASF Online Comms Manager) as guest speakers. Here are some of the key learnings from the Q&A session. 

For the full webinar recording, click here. 

When implementing a digital signage strategy, what are your main objectives and what sort of content do you find to be most effective? 

We have a lot of deskless employees in over 100 locations. Some of them don’t get access to email every day; they’re in the labs, plants or out in the field. So in the beginning, to kind of ensure that we were putting out content that was relevant and important to them, the first thing we did was throw out a survey. 

ScreenCloud Webinar - Maggie Krol 24_22

On an Enterprise level, how have you “divided and conquered” responsibilities between Corporate HQ and your local offices to make sure that your screens are up-to-date and on point? 

It works a bit like an umbrella; I'm working in the Corporate HQ, and then under us are all the local sites. Throughout those sites we manage over 100 content managers. So how do we make sure that the content is relevant?

The first thing was to make sure that all the content managers understood the system. Giving them the right resources and training means that we can empower them to be creative at their local sites. It's been a game changer for us. 

Before we started with ScreenCloud we used an old system that required a lot of heavy lifting from the corporate side; not all of our sites have graphic designers on hand, and some of our content managers are out and about in the field. 

ScreenCloud Webinar - Maggie Krol 28_11

The beauty of ScreenCloud is that all of the resources we need to create good content are in one place. So if you're not a graphic designer, but you're at your local site and you need to get content up on your screens, you have features like Canvas to create beautiful content that's visually pleasing. 

We knew that things were working properly when people asked to participate.  

Why would you recommend investing in digital signage as opposed to other communication channels when you work across a mix of them? 

With our old system we faced a lot of challenges that just made the workday a little bit more difficult. So we were searching for a system that would be more efficient. We searched the whole internet to find the platform that was right for us!

But it was so important because we are such a big company that goes from corporate to local sites. We knew that we needed something that was going to be user friendly. And that's where ScreenCloud came into play.

Have there been any surprises along the way?

ScreenCloud Webinar - Maggie Krol 36_20

It’s often hard to measure the success of these things. How do you do it? 

It’s a bit like asking ourselves, how did we measure the success of mailing out corporate posters years ago. But one of the times we did measure engagement was during corporate change, and keeping employees engaged throughout that is so important. We want to take our strategic corporate initiatives and make them personal to people.

So it's like having an authentic voice as a business. But it's also about this variety of voices. And that's where that local thing comes, then you get the variety: it reflects the business that it represents. And if you trust it more, you lean into it more. And it's kind of like a virtuous cycle. And that's why this is so important.

ScreenCloud Webinar - Stefan Glut 41_33

So to answer your question, there are two ways: 

At some point enough, anecdotal evidence does seem to become data a little bit; there's that old expression “anecdotes are not data”, but when you have something like digital signage, when site managers and people are responding, you can tell that that ambient communication is working. 

And as Maggie mentioned earlier when she talked about the survey, when we were transitioning to ScreenCloud we were also doing ongoing employee comm surveys about “What do you think of this Channel”?

Help their customers communicate important information to employees such as company announcements and Covid-19 safety measures  

Enable people to easily find their way around the workplace, reducing inefficiency and confusion

Display relevant real-time analytics, insights, and updates 

Here, we speak to Nathan Thomas, Digital Product & Software Engineering Lead at Ricoh on his experience working with ScreenCloud's Professional Services team and integrating ScreenCloud into their Ricoh Spaces platform. 

At Ricoh, our needs and requirements are larger than most. With a huge employee base and a global footprint, we operate on a truly enterprise scale. 

Ricoh Spaces is designed to help your business drive efficiencies by creating a truly connected, smart workplace, solving your problems today while anticipating the needs of tomorrow.

We wanted a digital signage solution that was not only smooth to integrate with our Ricoh Spaces platform, but would also allow our customers to take their digital workplace experience to the next level.

We took part in a two-day hackathon alongside ScreenCloud’s developers and Professional Services team to integrate their signage platform into Ricoh Spaces using their API. The hackathon was run virtually via Microsoft Teams, with open communication between the teams throughout. 

Our combined development was a breeze. From the initial conversation to the ongoing development, ScreenCloud has always been able to adapt and deliver on our ever-moving goalposts with our Ricoh Spaces platform.  

Ricoh Spaces enables businesses to tackle the key challenges they face today and in the future, and helps them bring about a digital transformation at the pace they desire. ScreenCloud is a great tool to help keep employees in the loop with company announcements and recent updates. Apps like Canvas and News are super easy to use and can be customized to meet specific needs. 

Users, both at Ricoh and our customers’ companies, can utilize ScreenCloud to show real-time occupancy information of crowded public spaces like bathrooms and kitchens on screens so that people know if a place is safe to enter.

Results using ScreenCloud- What did we achieve together?

ScreenCloud has been instrumental in helping move our product development forward. Since the collaboration was relatively recent (coupled with the pandemic outbreak), we look forward to hearing other feedback and results that our customers can share in the future. We’re currently working closely with ScreenCloud to explore other sales and co-marketing opportunities.

How Cars.com provides engaging, personalized data to supercharge their dealership community

Founded in 1998, Cars.com is one of the largest online shopping destinations for car buyers and sellers in the US. Their platform offers new and used vehicle listings, research tools, reviews, and other resources to help shoppers make well-informed decisions, connect with automotive retailers, and enable a smooth car buying experience. Cars.com also offers online subscription advertising products targeting car dealerships, empowering them with innovative solutions and data-driven intelligence to better reach and influence shoppers. 

Cars.com was looking for a new solution to help dealers increase inventory turnover, drive sales, and ultimately boost their market positions.         

To share relevant, useful performance information to their network of dealerships via tablets

To help individual dealerships have real-time access to their relative positions and sales information and to drive their productivity

To automatically update information without any human intervention   

Here, we speak to David Greene, Sr. Director, SEO & Retention at Cars.com and General Manager at NewCars.com on his experience working with ScreenCloud’s Professional Services and development teams to create a new application for their network of dealerships. 

We’ve been a ScreenCloud user for a while and enjoyed using their product and services. We were exploring a new innovative solution to better serve our dealerships and equip them with useful information (i.e. merchandising scores, performance metrics, and inventory stats). We aimed to show them how well they’re doing compared to other nearby showrooms offering the same brands of cars, and ultimately increase their engagement and drive their overall performance. We wanted to build a new application that dealers can easily use via tablets. Given our positive experience with ScreenCloud, it seemed natural to reach out to their team for help. 

We worked closely with ScreenCloud’s development and Professional Services teams to build CarsNow, a custom application that can pull relevant, personalized data for each dealership location from our central database and display it. Each location has a unique Cars.com ID number, and CarsNow uses this to make sure that the data is secured and sent to the right location. The teams at ScreenCloud also created branded animations to help maintain a modern look and on-brand experience. CarsNow was then deployed privately to our ScreenCloud account.

Whenever there are new changes in the databases, the information on the users’ screens will be updated automatically. This ensures that our dealerships have the latest metrics and information they need without the need for any human intervention.

Version 1 of the application has been a success, and we’re pleased with what we’ve achieved so far. We’re currently working with ScreenCloud to add more functionality to CarsNow, and we’re excited to introduce the app to our network of dealerships.

How Red Commerce Ltd uses ScreenCloud to keep everyone in the business informed, ensuring the connection between company and employees, in an immediate and friendly way. 

Red Commerce Limited - Customer Story

Red Commerce Ltd is an expert at sourcing and placing systems applications and products (SAP) professionals worldwide. The company has six offices globally and provides recruitment and advisory services, contract and freelance solutions. They needed a digital signage solution that would make it easy to get appealing content onto their digital signage screens. 

Save time in the IT department by not having to manually update screens in different offices

Find a system that can be managed by different department heads

Make internal communication more friendly

Here, we speak to Wayne Evans, Service Desk Supervisor at Red Commerce Ltd, on his experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

When I started working at Red Commerce Ltd, there was an on-premise digital signage system in place. This meant that every time we wanted to change anything on our display system, I had to go to each screen, log into the PC that powered it and manually drag and drop in the content that we needed. It was painfully time-consuming and difficult because I’d also be managing screens remotely for our overseas offices in languages that I don’t speak! 

It became such a time drain that I started searching for a better digital signage solution to help me manage all of our screens.  

Amongst all the different solutions that I found, ScreenCloud stood out as the most cost-effective and user friendly so I set up a trial, and I’ve never looked back. 

We now have 24 screens across our six offices and because ScreenCloud is web-based, I only need to log into one computer – my own, from the comfort of my desk to allow me to manage my screens and change content easily. 

The great thing about ScreenCloud is how easy it is to use. This means that the people creating the content can also put it onto the screens themselves, rather than having to send me content to upload. We have 11 users company-wide who can now access and manage their screens.

The digital signage solution has been particularly popular with the HR department and the Marketing team, who use the screens for their internal communications, for example to welcome new starters, or to announce new incentives. 

Because of its capabilities, ScreenCloud has also really opened up the possibilities for what we’re able to put on our screens and ultimately, how we use our digital signage. We can now share things like JPEGs, videos and websites, which we couldn’t do before and this has enhanced the content on display and made it more compelling and engaging. 

ScreenCloud has made it possible for us to up our game in our internal communications strategy.

It’s enabled us to have a more flashy, interactive, and user-friendly approach to keeping the whole company informed, meaning the interaction between the company and our employees is more immediate and friendly. 

I’ve found ScreenCloud to be a robust, simple, cost-effective, and innovative system. The decision to use it was a no-brainer. 

How ScreenCloud helped Red Commerce Ltd keep their employees up-to-date on internal news through friendly and engaging digital signage content.

HackerOne - Customer Story

How HackerOne uses ScreenCloud for internal communication to bring their different teams together by keeping everyone informed. 

HackerOne is a security company that connects its customers with a group of over 400,000 hackers, who receive payment for finding security vulnerabilities. The hackers help the customers as well as make the internet overall a safer place. They needed a digital signage solution to make their different teams feel more connected and informed.

Improve internal communication within teams

Create a feeling of togetherness within the company

Find a system that has an easy-to-use CMS with an easy-to-set-up platform

Here, we speak to Aaron Zander, Head of IT at HackerOne, on his experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

I've been trying for years to solve the problem of how to easily get content onto screens. I was looking for a digital signage tool that really married an easy-to-use CMS with an easy-to-set-up platform. 

We wanted to use screens across our office to give important internal information more prominence, making it much easier for people to keep an eye on.

We use ScreenCloud to share important internal messages and statistics with the different teams. It’s so much easier to keep on top of all that information when it’s so visible. Before, it was only available on people’s laptops and desktops, so sometimes it was forgotten. 

I adopted ScreenCloud really quickly because it solved the problem of getting content onto our screens simply.

ScreenCloud has enabled us to massively improve our internal communication, making sure nothing goes unnoticed or is forgotten. We feel that sharing information in this way has also helped everyone feel much more connected to each other in the company. The sharing of information in this way brings us together. 

I would recommend ScreenCloud to anyone looking for signage. There are lots of free tools out there, but it's worth the money to pay for something that works really well. ScreenCloud makes things so easy, and they’re very affordable. 

How ScreenCloud helps HackerOne use digital signage screens throughout their offices for internal communication and the sharing of information that was previously hidden on laptops and desktops.

Brentwood School - Customer Story 

How Brentwood School uses ScreenCloud to communicate with students and their families. Digital signage enables them to schedule content in advance and get the information to end-users in a timely manner.

Brentwood School is an independent day school with two campuses four blocks apart in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. They needed a digital signage solution to be able to share important information with students and their families.

Improve communication with students and parents

Find a system that allows for independent contributors but with centralized content control

Here, we speak to Meredith Storrs, Assistant Director of Communications at Brentwood School on her experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

Our school is split across a West and East Campus and it’s important to the communications department that we’re able to reach everyone, regardless of location, when we have important information to share. 

We were looking for a digital signage tool that allowed different contributors across the school to manage their own screens independently yet enabled our department to approve the content remotely. 

Using ScreenCloud we have 13 screens across our two campuses to help us remind students and parents about upcoming events and other important news. 

The scheduling feature lets us plan ahead on what we’re sharing, while the zoning feature means we can split the screen and have multiple pieces of content showing at the same time.

We want the individual contributors to add their own content, but we also want to be mindful of it being accurate, looking good and being on brand. It’s really helpful that through ScreenCloud I can see and approve what our team have created to send out and that I can manage that from anywhere.

ScreenCloud has been tremendously effective in helping us get the information our families need in a timely manner and in a way that looks really good. It’s been such an effective way to promote our upcoming events.

I would recommend ScreenCloud to any other communications department because it helps you do your work and it’s so easy to use. 

How ScreenCloud digital signage centralized communication across Brentwood School’s two campuses, keeping students and their families informed in a timely manner through digital screens.

Find a cost-effective digital signage solution with affordable hardware and easy-to-use software

Here, we speak to Cristina Estrada, VP of Operations and Elizabeth Setyono, Marketing Associate at Cos Bar on their experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

We were looking to bring in digital signage for our store so we could communicate better with our customers and create a high-end retail experience for them. When we researched different solutions, the more traditional retail vendors had very expensive hardware and were complicated to install, while ScreenCloud was perfect for our budget and very easy to set up.

We use ScreenCloud to highlight the luxury brands we love and to promote all our upcoming events. It’s also a simple way to promote our marketing campaigns and omni-channel initiatives like ‘Buy online, pick up in-store’ or SMS texting. We also display our social media feeds like Instagram, so that our in store customers can see what we're up to in our online channels.

We’re a fairly small up-and-coming brand with a smaller budget and no technical resources. ScreenCloud is a huge cost saving for us, compared to other solutions, and it’s so easy to set up and use that we just did it ourselves. 

I’d recommend ScreenCloud to any retailer, big or small. The digital signage is an elegant communication tool that fits perfectly in with our shop design, and it’s enhanced our customers’ retail experience while providing us with an effective channel for marketing. 

How beauty retail store Cos Bar used ScreenCloud to promote their marketing and omni-channel initiatives via digital signage screens located within their shops.

Anaplan - Customer Story

How Anaplan use ScreenCloud to power up their internal communications effectively, using existing screens. 

Anaplan is a cloud-based planning software company that helps companies connect departments, to make internal planning more effective. They wanted to take advantage of all the unused screens left by the old tenants in their new office and turn them into digital signage. 

Turn unused screens into powerful digital signs

Improve and simplify internal communications 

Be able to easily manage multiple screens throughout an office, on multiple floors

Here, we speak to Manny Cabrera, IT Support Technician at Anaplan on his experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

When we moved into our new office, the previous company had left lots of screens on the walls, probably assuming we’d get rid of them on their behalf. But instead, we thought we should use the TVs for something and a brainstorming session led us to the idea of digital signage. I then went away and researched digital signage options and ScreenCloud was the easiest to use. 

There are lots of small teams in the company doing lots of different things. Using ScreenCloud to manage our digital signs helps us to communicate the company messages with everyone easily. We use ScreenCloud to share branded security messages like ‘Remember to change your password every 90 days!’ or ‘Don’t forget to switch your computer off before you go home!’. ScreenCloud makes sure everyone sees them and they're easy to update and change when we need to. 

Figuring out how to use ScreenCloud's cloud-based software was the simplest thing. You just choose a picture, upload it and set a schedule. It’s intuitive and simple.

ScreenCloud makes it very simple to push out digital messaging internally to end-users. It’s a great way for us to make sure that all the different teams here see the same important information. It’s completely solved our internal communication problem.

Estate Coffee - Customer Story 

How Estate Coffee increased their business revenue using ScreenCloud's "one stop shop" digital signage solution. 

The very first Estate Coffee opened in Pacific Palisades in May 2018 as the in-house café of real estate franchise Keller Williams. It’s the brainchild of entrepreneur and real estate expert Rick Cunningham and chef Jacob Spooner, who wanted to create a meeting place for professionals and the general community. This is the first of many coffee shops that will become available inside real estate offices all over California. 

Estate Coffee needed a one-stop shop digital signage solution to advertize the services of the real estate agency as well as promote local events and the products of the coffee shop, like its local bakery. 

To promote the café’s fresh products, which change seasonally

To advertise the services of the real estate agency seamlessly to visitors

To promote special events taking place in the coffee shop, in real time

Here, we speak to Jacob Spooner, Director of Cafés at Estate Coffee, about his experience using ScreenCloud digital signage.

We planned to use three screens in our the Estate Coffee café which were public facing, alongside agent-facing screens, which help to give the latest internal communications to our estate agents. We needed a digital signage solution which could let us manage both; advertizing the products and services of the coffee shop and the real estate business to our visitors, and keeping our agents and employees informed with the latest real time information. 

We use ScreenCloud to advertize things like open houses, housing listings, mortgages, and insurance. Our content is created using a mixture of Photoshop and Canva, which lets our partners and agents develop content for their own playlists and screens. For the coffee shop, we promote upcoming events and show Instagram ads for our coffee and bakery vendors. We have a live feed of Yelp reviews and the weather, and in the future we want to add live cams of the nearby beaches for our visitors to get a real time view of what's happening near them.

We’re a meeting place where members of the local community come for both business and pleasure, and ScreenCloud allows us to communicate effectively with both those audiences. We get to promote the products in the coffee shop and the services of the real estate business. ScreenCloud's a one stop shop tool that’s generating additional business revenue for us. I’m already planning to set up four screens in the new coffee shop that's opening in the fall.

Estate Coffee use ScreenCloud’s cloud-based digital signage to generate more business revenue for their coffee store and estate agent small business.

“ScreenCloud has helped us generate additional revenue by allowing us to effectively yet unobtrusively advertise our products and services to the customers that visit our coffee shop.”
