Turn walking past into walking in.

Put your shop on partner screens along the street: the café next door, the laundromat on the corner. Point people to your door while they’re already a few minutes away.

Why screens nearby

Ads close to the store move people.

In a 2026 OAAA survey, 59% of US adults 18–64 said out-of-home ads immediately outside a store influence their purchases.1 A partner screen around the corner puts your shop in front of people who are already out, a short walk from your door.

How it works

Four steps. Every one has a price tag.

No agency and no minimum run. Here’s what each step costs.

  1. Step 1

    Pick your screens

    Free to browse

    Partner screens on a map, one by one, each with its venue, hours and price per play.

  2. Step 2

    Top up

    From $5

    Charged only for plays that ran, and never more than your wallet holds.

  3. Step 3

    Upload one image

    JPG or PNG

    Shaped to the screen, up to 10 MB. A content check, then a review for each screen.

  4. Step 4

    Go live

    Per play

    Your ad plays while the venue is open. Every play is logged with its time.

Before the sign goes up

An honest price, plainly shown.

A screen ad is still an ad, and pricing claims are easy to get wrong. Keep them true for as long as the ad runs, and make them readable from across a room.

Rules that come with you

  1. “Was $40, now $25” only works if it really was $40.2

    The FTC’s pricing guides say a former price has to be one you actually charged, openly and for a reasonably substantial stretch. An inflated “was” price makes the bargain false.

  2. Keep the offer good for as long as the ad runs.

    There’s no end date to set yet: an ad runs until its budget is spent. A sale that ends Sunday can still be on a screen on Monday.

What reads on a screen

  • Name the thing.

    “Keys cut while you wait” beats “everything for your home.” One reason to come in is plenty.

  • Point to the door.

    “Next to the post office” works harder than a street number. People walk to landmarks.

  • Pick offers that last.

    “Free gift wrap, always” stays true as long as the ad runs. “This weekend only” doesn’t.

Elaview’s content check looks at what’s on the screen. It doesn’t review your ad against the rules of your profession. That part is yours. This is general information, not legal advice.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Can I run an ad just for a weekend sale?
Not yet. You can’t set dates: an ad starts once it’s approved and runs until its budget is spent. For now, advertise offers that stay true for as long as it runs.
How close are the screens to my shop?
You see every partner screen on a map, with its venue and price, and choose the ones you want. How many are near you depends on which venues have joined.
What does it cost?
Each screen has its own price per play. Top up a wallet from $5, and you’re charged only for plays that actually ran.
Who approves my ad?
Every ad gets a content check and a review by our team for each screen you book, and every venue can rule out what it never wants shown. Nothing plays until both are done.
Can I put prices in the ad?
Yes. Keep them right for as long as the ad runs, and if you show a “was” price, make sure it’s one you really charged.

Your door is closer than they think.

They’re a few minutes away, waiting on a coffee or a spin cycle. Tell them what you’ve got, and where to find it.
