What is PosterBooking?

PosterBooking is a Whitelabel Digital Signage Platform, from the company of the same name in Manchester, that aims to change the way advertising is displayed. It makes free cloud digital signage available, using an Amazon Firestick, and lets users create a slideshow to display images and videos. The vendor can also supply media players and screens that are compatible with the PosterBooking platform.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it for a few conferences over the last year. At every event, our booth has at least 4-5 televisions that we use to market our company obviously. We had a lot of lagging issues during the first conference. The screens often were visibly frozen while transitioning between slides. The picture looked great when there was no lag. We also experienced a lot of technical issues at our largest event, RISE Nashville. Unfortunately, this happened at a large client event, which was a horrible look for us.

Pros

  • When PosterBooking is working effectively with no bugs or lag, it is phenomenal.
  • The picture is incredible. Second to none among similar solutions that I've had experience with.
  • I feel this is very user-friendly and intuitive when working correctly. The directions are simple and explicit.

Cons

  • I hate to beat a dead horse, but the lagging really made our work difficult. However, I feel that can be alleviated rather easily.
  • I feel more options/ features like more transitions/effects will also be needed updates for such a solution.
  • There could be more seamless integration and set-up process in my opinion. We found ourselves doing a great deal of troubleshooting.

Most Important Features

  • Being able to monitor and control it remotely is huge, especially with COVID.
  • PB collects real-time updates, which is extremely convenient and lets us know how we are doing.
  • The quality is head-and -shoulders above the competition.

Return on Investment

  • We really did not get the ROI that we COULD have in my opinion. - Didn't use it optimally
  • The technical issues really made us wary of even using it sometimes.
  • I feel this organization has great potential in this product. Just needs to be finetuned,
