Totem digital signage displays have become part of this relentless advance as companies embrace digital signage on a whole new level.

Practical Advantages
Rather than being fixed to a wall, or displayed from the ceiling, these unique display units can be bolted to the floor, indoors or outdoors, occupying a primary position where they’re most likely to achieve maximum impact. They can be strategically positioned to your advantage in order to achieve the best possible results in terms of interaction and engagement.
Altering what’s displayed on the screen is also made easy. Changing a billboard display, for instance, requires manpower and is extremely time consuming. Uploading content onto a digital screen can be done using a memory card and allows for almost instant display.
The long-term costs of digital display advertising are also favourable when compared with other advertising platforms. For example, the cost to advertise on television can be huge and you only get a short slot.
Digital advertising displays are much more cost and time effective. You can change content at your convenience without extra costs and without worrying about deadlines. You’re also not reliant on a third party, you stay in control of your advertising.
