How Venues Earn Passive Income with DOOH Screens

Running a venue isn’t easy. Between staffing, inventory, and rising costs, every bit of extra income helps. What if you could earn extra money each month without adding more work? That’s where indoor digital billboards, often called DOOH (Digital Out-Of-Home) screens, come in.

These screens show local business ads and community messages inside places like restaurants, gyms, and cafés. They make the space feel modern while quietly earning the venue extra income every month.

Let’s look at how it all works, how the revenue is shared, and why so many venues are jumping on board.

What DOOH Screens Actually Do

A DOOH screen is a sleek, wall-mounted display that runs a loop of short ads from local businesses. The content is family-friendly and community-focused, nothing loud or intrusive.

If you’ve ever seen a digital screen showing local promotions or events near a checkout counter or bar area, that’s DOOH in action.

For the venue, it’s simple: provide a spot for the screen, connect it to Wi-Fi, and let the provider (like Gand1 Media Solutions) handle the rest. The screen becomes part of the environment, adding a modern touch and showing both local ads and venue promotions.

How Venues Earn Money from It

Here’s where it gets interesting. Gand1 Media Solutions runs a revenue-sharing model that lets venues earn passive income every month.

Each screen runs on a rotation of local business ads. Every time a business signs up to display on your venue’s screen, you earn a percentage of that advertising revenue.

Let’s break that down:

• Gand1 installs or connects to your screen at no cost.
  
  
• Local businesses pay to have their ads displayed.
  
  
• Gand1 manages everything: sales, design, scheduling, and updates.
  
  
• The venue earns a monthly payout based on the ad revenue from that screen.
  
  

For example, if the screen generates $1,000 in advertising sales in a month and your share is 10%, that’s $100 straight to your business, without lifting a finger.

As more advertisers join, your earnings can grow. You don’t have to find the advertisers or manage anything. You simply enjoy the benefit of being part of a community network that supports local businesses and rewards your participation.

Why It’s Truly Passive

Once a screen is installed, it runs automatically. You don’t have to monitor it or update anything. Gand1 handles the content, technology, and maintenance remotely.

That means no staff training, no workload increase, and no disruption to your day-to-day operations. The system quietly earns you money in the background while promoting your venue’s own specials during each ad loop.

You can even request custom slides for your venue, like promoting your happy hour, event nights, or menu updates. It’s free and included in the service.

The Benefits Go Beyond Income

The revenue share is great, but the benefits go deeper.

1. Enhanced atmosphere: A digital screen adds a modern, dynamic feel to your space. Customers notice it, especially if it shows useful local information or fun community highlights.

2. Community connection: You become part of a local network that helps nearby businesses get seen. It positions your venue as a community hub, not just a business.

3. Local exposure: Your own promotions appear on the same screen, increasing visibility for your events, specials, and brand.

4. Professional support: Gand1 manages everything, from ad approvals to performance reporting. You can focus on running your business while knowing your screen is adding value every day.

What Venues Can Expect

Here’s a simple example of what partnering with Gand1 looks like:

• Setup: Gand1 provides or integrates a display and installs it in an ideal location.
  
  
• Ad onboarding: Local businesses buy ad space that runs on your screen.
  
  
• Revenue share: You receive a percentage of all advertising sold on your screen every month.
  
  
• Payouts: Payouts are sent monthly, along with a short performance summary so you can see how your screen is doing.

Why Local Businesses Love It

The advertisers benefit too. They get to show their brand right where potential customers already are, relaxed, social, and nearby. It’s a more personal form of marketing than online ads because it connects them to the local community in real spaces.

That’s why businesses are drawn to this form of advertising, and it’s why venues that host screens rarely see them go unused. Everyone benefits: the advertiser, the venue, and the community.

A Win-Win for Langley and Beyond

In cities like Langley and across the Fraser Valley, venues that host Gand1 screens are turning unused wall space into passive income. 

Instead of paying for ads, you get paid for visibility. And your customers enjoy a more engaging space with helpful, local content.

If you’re a venue owner looking for new ways to earn extra income, this might be the easiest decision you make all year.
