Dual Sided Window Displays

Introduction to CDS Dual Sided Window Displays

Dual-sided window displays have the transformative capability to enhance the appeal of various settings including stores, banks, and commercial buildings. Featuring an exterior-facing display boasting a brightness of up to 3000m² (alternatively available at 700cd and 1500cd), along with an inward-facing screen characterized by exceptional high contrast and a minimum brightness of 400cd/m² (alternatively available at 700cd), these displays ensure visibility under diverse ambient conditions and usage scenarios. Despite their dual-sided nature, our solution boasts an impressively slim and lightweight design, with a depth starting at an astounding 12mm, surpassing the thinness of most single-sided screens. This sleek profile contributes to an aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing the overall design of the display.

What is a Dual Sided Window Display?

A dual-sided window display, also known as a double-sided window display, is a type of advertising or promotional display system typically installed in the windows of storefronts, shops, or other commercial establishments. Unlike traditional single-sided displays that are visible from only one direction, dual-sided displays are designed to be viewed from both the interior and exterior of the building simultaneously.

Key Features

  • Visibility from Multiple Directions: Dual-sided displays are visible from both the inside and outside of the store, allowing businesses to capture the attention of pedestrians passing by on both sides of the street or storefront. This increases the potential audience for marketing messages.

  • Increased Exposure: With two sides available for advertising, businesses can effectively double their exposure without needing additional space. This is especially advantageous for locations situated on busy streets or in high-traffic areas.

  • Versatility: Dual-sided displays offer flexibility in terms of content and messaging. Businesses can choose to display the same content on both sides for consistency or opt for different messages to target different audiences or showcase multiple products or promotions simultaneously.

  • Maximization of Real Estate: Storefront real estate is valuable, and dual-sided displays help businesses make the most of it by utilizing both sides of the window for promotional purposes. This is particularly beneficial for smaller businesses with limited space.

  • Attractive Design: Dual-sided displays can be visually striking, drawing attention from both directions. Creative design elements, such as vibrant colors, dynamic lighting, or interactive features, can further enhance their appeal and effectiveness.

  • Enhanced Customer Experience: By providing engaging content on both sides of the window, businesses can enrich the shopping experience for customers, whether they are passing by on the street or browsing inside the store. Well-executed displays can pique curiosity and encourage people to explore further.

  • Cost-Efficiency: While dual-sided displays may require a higher initial investment compared to single-sided options, they offer better value for money by effectively doubling the advertising space. Over time, this can translate into higher returns on investment through increased visibility and customer engagement.

  • Integration with Digital Technology: Many dual-sided displays now incorporate digital screens or interactive elements, allowing businesses to showcase dynamic content such as videos, animations, or interactive experiences. This modern approach can captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.

Maximized Visibility

With displays visible from both inside and outside the store or building, dual-sided displays maximize exposure to passersby on both sides of the street or sidewalk, increasing the likelihood of capturing their attention.

Enhanced Engagement

By presenting information or advertising content from multiple angles, dual-sided displays can engage potential customers more effectively, increasing the chances of them interacting with the displayed content.

Improved Customer Experience

Dual-sided displays can enhance the overall customer experience by providing relevant information or promotional offers at multiple touchpoints, whether customers are walking past the storefront or browsing inside the store.

Anti-Glare and Anti-Reflection Features

Our dual-sided displays are equipped with anti-glare and anti-reflection coatings or technologies to reduce glare and improve visibility in sunlight. These features help maintain clear visibility of the content despite ambient light conditions.

Dynamic Content Adjustment

 CDS dual-sided displays can incorporate sensors or automatic brightness adjustment features that dynamically adapt the display’s brightness based on ambient light conditions. This can help maintain optimal visibility in changing sunlight conditions.

Applications

  • Retail Stores: Dual-sided window displays are commonly used in retail stores to showcase products, promotions, and branding messages to both pedestrians outside the store and customers inside. They can effectively attract attention and drive foot traffic, especially in high-traffic areas.
