      Yes, if the infrastructure is in place for it it can be very cheap. But obviously, the people working at these companies decided that the benefits of the digital screens are worth the small upfront cost of the machine.

      Why can’t people understand that printing a physical copy of something off-site requires transport and overhead cost that are entirely eliminated by just literally using a digital screen that has a longer shelf life than the mechanical parts of the machine itself. It’s not that complicated to understand.

      This gives you the advantage of literally being able to change the ad instantly. Based on time of year, event, etc. Its an ad. It’s good to be digital. It’s an ad. It’s not a label.

      Why do you send an email instead of sending a letter? A smartphone is so expensive! /s

      There are benefits beyond just cost. This isn’t about cost. THIS IS ABOUT PROFITS.
