Look it up.

Elaview puts ads on the screens inside neighborhood venues: cafés, gyms, laundromats, lobbies. Businesses pay per play, and only for plays that ran. We set up and run the screens, and venues get free promos and a share of the ad revenue.

If the site shows “Get early access” instead of a sign-up button, accounts are opening in order: join the waitlist and we’ll let you know when yours is ready.

In venues that have joined Elaview as partners. Browse the map in your dashboard to see what’s near you. Each listing shows the venue, its opening hours and its price per play.

Nothing to join. Advertisers pay each screen’s price per play, from a wallet they top up, starting at $5. Venues pay nothing at all: we supply the player and set it up.

You’ll need at least $5 in your wallet to book a screen.

1. Create a campaign and upload your image.
2. Find a screen on the map and choose Advertise Here.
3. Pick your campaign and set a daily budget, a total budget, or both.
4. Your ad gets a content check and a review by our team, and you’ll get a notification when it’s approved. Then it plays while the venue is open.

One image, JPG or PNG, up to 10 MB, shaped to the screen: within 2% of its aspect ratio. Each screen’s listing shows its size before you book. GIF and WebP files aren’t accepted.

Not yet. Ads are images for now.

Your ad plays whenever the venue is open. You can’t choose hours or days yet.

What you can do is pick venues whose opening hours suit you, and set a daily budget: it’s spread evenly across each venue’s open hours, so you’re seen through the day instead of all at once.

Every ad gets a content check and a review by our team before it plays, and each venue can rule out things it never wants on its screen, like a competitor.

You’ll get a notification when your ad is approved, and if it’s declined, the notification says why. Both show in your dashboard, and come by email too unless you turn that off in Settings.

Elaview’s content check looks at what’s on the screen. It doesn’t review your ad against the rules of your profession.

Every play is logged with the time it ran. Open the schedule in your dashboard to see each play, or Analytics for plays and spend by screen.

You can stop it. Cancel its campaign from Campaigns in your dashboard, and its ads stop playing and stop being charged. A play already on screen when you cancel finishes, and is charged. If you can’t cancel it there, write to us and we’ll stop it for you.

Pausing an ad and picking it up later isn’t in your dashboard yet.

You can’t change the image on a running ad. To show a different one, create a new campaign with it and book it.

Work through the troubleshooter on this page. It checks the usual reasons in order: approval, your wallet, your budgets, and the venue’s hours.

Open the troubleshooter

From Wallet in your dashboard: choose an amount, from $5, and pay by card through Stripe.

After each play runs, at that screen’s price per play, from your wallet. Each play is charged once. You’re never charged for a play that didn’t run, and never for more than your wallet holds.

When you book a screen you set a daily budget, a total budget, or both. A daily budget is spread across the venue’s open hours, and once it’s used the ad sits out until the venue opens again. A total budget ends the run when it’s spent.

Together they bound a run: $6 a day with a $60 total runs for at least 10 days, and stops once $60 of plays have run.

Your Wallet page marks a low balance before it runs out. Plays stop when your wallet can’t cover the next one, and pick up again when you top up.

Yes. Write to us from the email on your account with the amount, and we’ll refund your unspent balance to the card you paid with. There’s no button for it in your dashboard.

Cancelling a campaign doesn’t refund anything by itself: what you haven’t spent stays in your wallet until you ask for it back.

Create a free owner account, add your location and pick how the player gets to your TV. Where our team works, we install it for free. Anywhere, you can order one of our kits or set up a device you already have with our guides.

Before ads play, our team verifies the screen. If you set it up yourself, you send three photos from your dashboard.

The three ways to get a player

Nothing, if we install it: where our team works, we set up the player for free and it stays ours. If you’d rather do it yourself, you can order a kit or use a device you already have; then the device is yours.

Either way, your dashboard shows every play and what you’ve earned.

One small player, plugged into the TV you already have. You’ll need a TV your customers can see with a free HDMI port, a power outlet within reach, and Wi-Fi. When we install it, we bring the rest.

What we install

Yes, and we design them for free. Your promos fill the screen whenever no ad is booked, and you can hold up to a quarter of the screen’s time for them. Like every ad, each promo passes a content check before it plays.

Yes. Tell us what you never want on your screen, like a competitor, and it won’t run there. Every ad also gets a content check and a review by our team before it plays.

You earn a share of what local advertisers pay for plays on your screen. It builds up in your dashboard, and you withdraw it whenever you like; the first withdrawal opens 30 days after your first screen is verified.

How much depends on how many businesses book your screen, and early on it may be small. Your promos are free either way.

Only while you’re open. The TV needs to stay on the player then, because advertisers pay for each play and the player can’t tell when the TV is switched away. After hours, it’s yours.

Check that the TV is on, on the player’s input, and that the player has power and Wi-Fi. If it still won’t come back, tell us: the player is ours, so fixing it is on us.
