For shop owners
Free digital signage for your shop.
UmetMe gives local Sydney shops a small digital screen at no cost, best placed beside the till. You get plenty of airtime for your own specials. The rest plays promos from neighbouring shops and paid local ads, and you share the revenue from those ads.
What you get
A free screen
The screen costs you nothing. You just provide a spot where your customers can see it.
Airtime for your own specials
You get plenty of airtime in the loop. Post specials and news from your phone.
Neighbours promote you
Join a network of local shops that promote each other on their screens.
A share of the ad revenue
Local brands pay to be in the loop, and host shops get a share.
Support in your language
Your dashboard and our support are in English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean.
You decide what's allowed
Every ad is reviewed, and you can rule out any category you don't want next to your till.
How to get one
Tell us about your shop
Leave your name and a way to reach you. We'll visit and check the spot by your till.
Put it by the till
A small stand and one power cable, or the cordless screen with no cable at all. No drilling.
Start posting
Add your specials from your phone; neighbour promos and local ads fill the rest of the loop.
What you need
- A spot customers can see, ideally on or near the counter
- A power point nearby, or none at all with the cordless screen
- An internet connection (content is downloaded ahead, so short drop-outs are fine)
Questions from shop owners
Is the screen really free?
Yes. The screen is free for host shops.
Is this the same as buying digital signage?
It does the same job as a digital signage screen for your menu and specials, but you don't pay for the screen or the software. Ads from local brands cover the cost, and you share that revenue.
How much of the airtime is mine?
You get plenty of airtime for your own content. The rest plays promos from neighbouring shops and paid local ads.
How do I earn money from the screen?
Host shops share the revenue from the ads that play on their screen. We'll go through the details with you before you sign.
What is the neighbour network?
Every shop with an UmetMe screen promotes the others nearby. Your specials can play on your neighbours' screens, and theirs on yours.
Can I say no to certain ads?
Yes. Every ad is reviewed, and you can rule out any category you don't want next to your till.
What if the internet drops?
Content is downloaded to the screen ahead of time, so the loop keeps playing offline.
What if there's no power point near my till?
Use the cordless screen instead: it runs on its own battery, so it doesn't need a power point.
