A story reported by Bill McCurry and recently replayed in an article in Photo Counter, highlighted the successful use of digital signage for a small town, photo store/portrait studio in the UK owned by Peter Davies. Peter attributes much of his Christmas sales uplift at Marlborough Photo Services to the deployment of 9 small screens that run 24/7 advertising, promoting various services ranging from photo gifts to photo products the store can produce from social media and smart phones.
