Aggregate and display user-generated content (UGC) in a creative way to attract and engage your audience – our digital signage partner OnSign TV is your ideal solution. Set up your social media display with Walls.io and OnSign TV and enjoy increased levels of reach & engagement, brand trust and revenue!
User-generated content is of paramount importance for your brand’s success. A study conducted by TurnTo Networks showed that 90% of participants rely on images, videos, or text posted by users to make purchase decisions. UGC outranks all other forms of marketing, including search engine results and promotional emails. Moreover, user-generated content is on the rise. According to another study, 58% of the respondents generated more content in 2020 than the previous year.
Therefore, leverage UGC to your advantage. And what better way to do so than through the implementation of digital signage? To utilize digital signage, you will need both the hardware (e.g. a TV screen or any other device) and the software to display content on the designated screens.
Start by setting up your Walls.io account. Create your social media wall and generate your URL to share your feed on any display. Your newly set-up social wall will adapt automatically to every screen size and resolution, no matter which digital signage device you are using. To project your social media feed on more than one player and control everything easily from one place, we recommend using digital signage software. We partner with providers around the world, check the full list of digital signage partners here.
Create a combined social media feed for your display using Walls.io.
