Problem
Many venues operate TVs or tablets that display content but generate no revenue, leaving valuable screen time idle. Without a simple way to insert advertising, owners miss out on potential income while still needing to manage their own promotional content.
Solution
Trillboards offers a free digital signage platform that converts any smart TV, tablet, or web‑based display into a revenue‑generating screen. Users connect a display by scanning a QR code or entering an 8‑digit code, after which the platform automatically schedules and plays programmatic ads between the venue’s own content. The service includes a self‑serve CMS that supports YouTube, Twitch, and custom video or image uploads, allowing venues to maintain brand safety and control playback priority. Real‑time analytics and reporting dashboards provide impression counts and earnings, with monthly payouts sent directly to the venue. For developers and partners, an API and SDK enable bulk onboarding of screens and integration with CTV, Android, or smart‑TV applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are venue owners and operators in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other public spaces that have existing display screens, as well as developers and partners seeking to monetize fleets of digital signage.
