The hidden feature that turns venue screens into a marketing channel

When you are holding ticketing, seating, promotions and the audience experience at the same time, a tool can sit there unnoticed for a long while. Kiosk Display is one of those: quietly present in Entrello for a while now, used by a handful of organisers to real effect — and simply not noticed by everyone else.

What Kiosk Display is

A built-in feature for making, managing and publishing what appears on every digital screen in your venue — inside the same platform your events already live in.

Think of the screens you walk past daily: the television in the foyer, the display above the bar, the screen at the door, the monitor at the box office. Most of the time they are blank, running a generic loop — or hanging off an expensive third-party system connected to nothing else.

Setting it up is unspectacular

No IT department, no installation:

• A smart TV with a connection — any screen that can open a URL will do.
• A kiosk URL from Entrello — point the screen at it and you are live.
• A little appetite for design — this is where the interesting part starts.

No proprietary hardware, no onboarding, no hidden costs. Anyone who can work the Entrello interface — which you can — has this running in minutes.

There is also a Canva connection: link the account and design or adjust artwork inside the platform. No exporting, no re-uploading, no question about which file is current.

What you can put on them

• What’s coming up. A blank screen becomes advance sales — in front of an audience already standing in your building.
• Newsletter sign-ups. A clear call and a QR code, and your own list grows on the evening people are already in a good mood.
• Reviews. After the show, while the feeling still holds, a screen by the exit is the most effective request for a review there is.
• Promotions. A two-for-one, a discount code, a dated offer. Urgency lands harder when somebody is physically standing in front of it.
• Time-critical notices. “The next performance starts in five minutes — please take your seats.” Simple, and impossible to miss.

A person meets several thousand brand messages a day, almost all of them online. A well-made screen in the right place in a building cuts through that in a way a social post cannot.

The real lever: offline becomes measurable

This is where a handy tool becomes a strategic one. With trackable links and QR codes on the displays, the gap closes between what happens in the building and what appears in your reporting.

Every scan becomes a data point, which answers questions like:

• Which screen position generates the most interest?
• Which artwork actually turned an audience member into a buyer?
• What time of day produces the scans?

That is precisely the kind of attribution other people buy a separate system for. Here it is already in the box.
