Business Model
Strength: Business models are stable. The types of resources and processes necessary to provide value to communicators are well known, and as the industry has matured the costs related to network deployment and operation has become quite well known. Equally, the type of funding and their sourcing are commonly known, so the business model is known and stable, allowing for continuous refinement to increase cup. One area of ​​change is in the blending of indoor and outdoor capabilities for proprietary digital signage network design and ongoing operations.

(DDC) for their innovation in the provision of network planning, integration and deployment as well as content strategy, management and creation to compliment the internal finishing capability user.
Weakness: All elements must be paid for by the communicator (Unlike TV, mobile). Advertising is typically an "opt-in" scenario with messages accepted by the consumer on a device that they purchase/own from a myriad of options. In examples such as TV, Internet, mobile devices, print publications, etc. the cost of the presentation device is paid by the consumer and advertisers are one of many, many communicators vying for attention at a given time and place. DOOH network operators incur the costs of all presentation elements (i.e. network, displays, etc.), as would apply to billboards, direct mail, circulars or alternative out-of-home media. In a fair "exchange" with consumers, DOOH is not an opt-in media. Motion images presented at a point of purchase, waiting, transit or gathering location compel attention to inform and influence.

DOOH network operators would sustain the cost of all arrangement elements (i.e., monitor, network, etc.), which shall apply to the billboards, direct mail, alternative or circulars out-of-home media. Fair "Exchange" to consumers DOOH is opt-in media. Motion pictures, gathering spot, sets the stage for trade, waiting or transit to force attention to inform and influence. "The payment platform"-is the force that the adoption of DOOH enjoys the viewer.
