- Free forever on one TV. From £10 a TV a month after that
This week’s offers
What makes NowBoard different
Five reasons NowBoard is different.
Screens that make you money
Local businesses pay to advertise on your screens. You approve every advert and keep most of what they pay.
Run it from your phone
Store managers add their own reductions from a phone, in seconds.
Works on the TVs you have
Android TV, Raspberry Pi, or any Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook in a web browser.
Ready-made for shops
Boards for offers, opening times and till notices. Change a price or an offer without a designer.
AI and your own designs
Describe a Board and AI designs it, or lay out your own. No graphic designer needed.
Ad Space share: you keep 70% on Free, 80% on Starter, 87% on Professional and 92% on Enterprise, before card fees. Prices exclude VAT.
Why NowBoard
Your offers, in every store. Paid for by your suppliers.
A small chain has three other ways to put offers in front of shoppers. Here’s how they compare.

What’s on the wall now
The offer changed on Monday. Some stores still show last week’s.
Offers, hours and store news go out as print runs and emails. Each store puts them up when it can. Sound familiar?
The print run
Posters arrive, go up late, and last week’s come down later still.
The supplier screen
The drinks fridge screen shows their brand’s promotion, not yours.
The Monday email
Head office sends the offers. Each store reads it when it’s quiet.
The bank holiday
New opening hours need a sign in every window, put up by hand.
Your TVs, each with a job
One screen per spot. Each one says what that spot needs.
Pick a Board, type in your details, and it’s on the TV. Every Board is ready to use, and you can change any of them.

Scheduling
Set the week once. Every store follows it.
Choose when each Board shows, and the entrance TV changes through the day by itself. Tap a time to see it.
Changing through the day comes with Professional and Enterprise.
Update from anywhere
Short-dated bread? Post it from your phone.
Reduced tonight
No laptop, no printer, no marker pen. Store managers add their own Board from a phone. Head office keeps the weekly offers the same everywhere. Try it: change the details and press Update the TVs.
Made for your stores
It looks like your shop, not like ours.
- Your logo and coloursAdd them once and every store uses them.
- Easy to read from the doorBig prices, strong contrast, one offer at a time.
- Portrait or landscapeWindows and pillars as well as the wall behind the tills.
- The same look in every storeHead office sets the Boards once. English, Welsh, French and Spanish.
Recalls and store alerts
A recall goes out. Every store knows at once.
One tap puts the same message on every TV in every store. One more tap puts everything back as it was.
Ready-made alerts for a fire, a fire drill, an urgent notice, building work and a missing person, plus your own messages such as a recall. They come with Professional and Enterprise.
For shoppers
Shoppers see the offer before they reach the shelf.

Getting it on the TV
It works on the TVs you already have.
Any TV with an HDMI socket will do. Each TV needs an internet connection, over Wi-Fi or a cable.
The NowBoard app
Runs on compatible Android TVs and TV sticks, a Windows PC, or in a web browser.
Player Pro
A small box that plugs into the TV’s HDMI socket, starts itself and just plays. Optional.
We can fit it for you
Our installer comes to your stores. UK only.
All prices exclude VAT. If we supply a TV, you pay what it costs us. A window screen facing the sun needs a brighter, dearer TV.
Optional · Ad Space
Your suppliers pay you for screen time.
Ad Space is off unless you turn it on. You choose which screens show adverts, and you approve every one.
Who might advertise? The brands you already stock: drinks, snacks, bakery and household suppliers. Local businesses too: a takeaway, a garage, an event. You decide what fits your stores.
An example, not a promise of income: what you earn depends on what you sell. NowBoard takes a share of each advert (Starter 20%, Professional 13%, Enterprise 8%; 30% on Free). Card payment fees come off before you are paid. Prices exclude VAT.
