In the heart of New York City, where every square foot of storefront space matters, liquor stores are upgrading the way they speak to customers. Static signs and outdated posters are being replaced by high-impact digital signage, TV screens in windows, and commercial-grade displays that turn everyday retail into a dynamic experience.
If you're a liquor store owner in NYC or a brand looking to break through the clutter here’s how digital signage software built for wine and liquor stores is transforming the game.
Why Digital Signage Is Taking Over NYC Liquor Stores
With foot traffic at a premium and customer attention spans getting shorter, street facing TVs in store windows offer an unmatched way to deliver the right message at the right time. BevSign, the first and only NYSLA-compliant digital signage network for liquor stores, is powering a new era of in-window advertising across New York’s five boroughs.
Let’s break down the core benefits.
1. Turn Your Window Into a Marketing Engine
Your storefront window is prime real estate but paper signs don’t do it justice. With a commercial display facing the street, you can run eye-catching video promotions, highlight new arrivals, and showcase seasonal picks. Bright, professional TV screens stop people in their tracks, even in busy NYC neighborhoods.
2. Promote What You Want, When You Want
With BevSign, you control 20% of the screen time through a simple mobile app. Whether you're running a weekend whiskey special, spotlighting cold rosé, or clearing out slow movers, you’re in full control of your promotions.
No design experience? No problem hundreds of customizable templates are included.
3. Keep Content Fresh Without Lifting a Finger
Unlike posters or shelf talkers that go stale, digital signage stays relevant and timely. You can schedule content by time of day, season, or sales trends and even automate updates based on weather, holidays, or events. It’s always fresh, always on-brand.
4. Showcasing Brands Without Breaking Compliance
In NYC, stores can't get paid to promote specific brands but that doesn't mean you can't align with supplier campaigns. BevSign plays video content provided by major spirits companies (like Diageo, Moët Hennessy, and Bacardi) that features products you already carry.
This builds perceived value without breaking rules and creates a premium brand atmosphere that customers notice.
5. Highlight Chilled Products in Real Time
Nothing sells like a cold drink on a hot day. With BevSign, stores are running digital ads like: 🧊 “From Our Fridge to Your Glass”🧊 “Ice Cold, Ready to Sip”
These promotions appear on your TV in the window, giving customers one more reason to step inside and make a purchase.
6. Tell Product Stories That Sell
Digital signage isn’t just visual, it’s narrative. Use your screens to tell the story behind a limited-edition mezcal, share cocktail recipes featuring a new gin, or highlight tasting notes and food pairings that help customers make confident choices.
7. Engage Customers with Cocktail Content
Short-form cocktail videos are a powerful way to stop customers in their tracks. BevSign runs engaging, visually rich cocktail content that shows customers how to mix simple, seasonal drinks using products available right in your store.
These clips spark curiosity, educate shoppers, and make it easy to say yes to a bottle they may not have considered before. Whether it’s a 15-second Negroni demo or a refreshing summer spritz, this type of content turns screens into inspiration and inspiration into sales.
8. Real-Time Insights and Remote Control
Need to update a promo? Launch a new campaign? Add a countdown to your flash sale? Do it all remotely from your phone, from home, or from anywhere.
9. Professional Installation & Hands-Off Setup
Unlike off-the-shelf digital signage systems that require tech skills and guesswork, BevSign handles everything for you from delivery and installation to configuration and training.
Our team installs your commercial display securely in your front window, ensures proper electrical setup, and loads your screen with ready-to-go content. No IT experience needed. No wiring nightmares. Just plug-and-play promotion that works out of the box. This lets you focus on running your store... not troubleshooting a screen.
