The Future of Sidewalk Advertising – How Outdoor Digital Sandwich Boards Are Transforming Curbside Marketing
From Chalkboards to Cloud-Free Digital Screens
Sidewalk A-frames used to mean chalk smudges or paper posters that warped in rain.
Jack In The Box is the next step: a 43″ battery-powered digital sandwich board in an IP-55 steel enclosure with AR-tempered anti-glare glass and ≈ 1800-nit daylight-bright LED.
Why It Wins Over Traditional Boards
- Weather-resistant: stays readable in rain, dust, summer heat, light winter chill.
- Portable: smooth-rolling wheels let staff reposition for best foot-traffic angle.
- No apps required: USB + hand-held remote make content swaps simple.
- Dual-power: go wireless on battery for pop-ups or plug-in for all-day display.
- Lower long-term cost: no weekly print runs or chalk re-lettering.
