Host Proces
• Potential hosts reach out via website or referral.
• Skyline Digital Media evaluates the location:
- Foot traffic volume & visibility
- Dwell time (how long people stay in view)
- Power outlet & Wi-Fi accessibility
- Safety and wall space (indoor focus)
• Approved locations move to site inspection.
• A Skyline Digital Media technician or rep visits the location (in person or via video call) to confirm:
- Screen placement (height, wall type, lighting conditions)
- Internet connectivity test
- Ideal cable routing for minimal visible wiring
• Host signs a 1-year Hosting Agreement that includes:
- Permission for screen installation and use of electricity/Wi-Fi
- Monthly payment amount
- Revenue share structure
- Maintenance and removal terms
- Content guidelines (family-friendly, no political/religious ads)
• Technician installs the digital screen, media player, and mounts.
• Time required: about 30–60 minutes.
• The system is configured for remote content updates and auto-start in case of power loss.
• Logo tag or QR code optional for brand consistency.
• Once the screen connects to Skyline’s system, ads start running automatically on the set schedule.
• Host receives an activation email confirming:
- Screen ID number
- Start date
- Payment start date
• Skyline remotely monitors uptime and connection status.
• Preventive maintenance or troubleshooting is handled either online or by field techs if needed.
• Software automatically updates ad content; hosts don’t need to touch anything.
• Hosts earn a fixed % monthly fee, typically deposited via ACH or PayPal on the 1st of each month.
• Sample split:
- Base: 10%/month per screen
- Bonus: +5% for top-performing/high-traffic spots
• Payment report emailed monthly (or visible in dashboard).
• 60 days before the 1-year term ends, Skyline reviews screen performance and offers:
- Contract renewal
- Additional screen installations (for multi-location hosts)
- Optional upgrade to larger display or duo-screen setup
