Digital signage for charity shops
Charity shops are an important point of contact with supporters. Screens can explain the cause, encourage donations and Gift Aid, recruit volunteers and promote stock, with campaigns run centrally.
Common challenges
- National appeals are displayed inconsistently across shops
- Volunteers have limited time to update window displays
- Shoppers may not know what to donate or about Gift Aid
- Budgets must be justified carefully

|---|---|
| Window displays | Promote the cause to passers-by. |
| Behind-counter screens | Gift Aid and appeal messages at the till. |
Remote content management
Head office can publish campaigns to every shop so volunteers don't need to change displays.
