Proof on a physical screen

Testimonials on Booth and Store Screens

A TV at a trade show booth, behind a shop counter or in a waiting room is usually showing a logo on loop. It could be showing what customers say. The catch is that a screen is read from three metres away, in passing, often with the sound off. This page plans what to put on it, and the checklist catches the problems you only notice on the day.

  • A hosted page of approved quotes on the screen
  • Picked to be read from across the room
  • Checked before doors open, not after

The problem, solved

What goes wrong with testimonials on a screen, and how StoryProof helps

Each of these is a booth or shop floor problem, not a website problem.

  • Every update means rebuilding the slideshow

    Quotes pasted into slides go stale, and nobody has time to redesign the deck the night before a show.

  • Nobody can read it from the aisle

    Long paragraphs in small type are fine on a laptop and unreadable from across a booth.

  • The screen is always on mute

    Audio notes and video testimonials lose their point when the floor is noisy and the sound is off.

  • People read it, then walk off

    A screen that only displays proof wastes the visitor who would happily add their own.

  • Something unvetted appears in public

    A screen facing a crowd is the worst place for a testimonial nobody has read.

Flip the switch to see how StoryProof handles each one.

On site checklist

Check the screen before doors open

Most of these only show up on the real screen, in the real room. Run through them at setup, not at opening.

In StoryProof

Put testimonials on a screen with StoryProof

Step 1 of 4

Tag the quotes for this setting

Pick short testimonials about what the booth or shop offers and give them a tag, such as the event or store name.

Before you start

What StoryProof does not do here

What this does not cover, and what to check on your side. Better to know now than after launch.

  1. 01

    No signage player or scheduler

    StoryProof has no kiosk mode, playlists or screen scheduling. The screen’s own browser or signage software opens the page.

  2. 02

    It needs a connection

    The widget script loads from app.storyproof.io, so a screen with no internet shows nothing. Test the venue network first.

  3. 03

    Check how the layout behaves on the screen

    A layout that suits a phone may not suit a TV. Open it on the real screen and choose another layout if it reads poorly.

  4. 04

    Public display is its own permission

    A customer who agreed to appear on your website may not expect to be shown on a TV in a crowded hall. Ask when in doubt.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Short answers to what usually comes up next.

Can I show my Wall of Love on a TV?

Yes, if the TV, or a device plugged into it, has a browser. Open the Wall of Love link in full screen and turn off sleep.

Should a booth screen play video testimonials?

Only if people will stop to watch and can hear it. On a loud floor, short written quotes read better than a video with the sound off.

How many testimonials should the screen show?

A handful of short ones, about what that booth or shop offers. Passers by read one or two; a long list helps nobody.

Can visitors add a testimonial from the booth?

Yes. Put your collection link on a printed QR code beside the screen. What they submit waits for your approval before it can appear.

Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
