Glass-Media Partners with IFS to Deliver ‘Display Now, Pay Later’ Signage Solutions

New “Digital Signage as a Service” financing option empowers brands to launch premium signage outputs without capital expenditure (CapEx) barriers.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glass-Media, the leading provider of purpose-built, highly configurable digital signage solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Insight Financial Services (IFS), enabling the launch of a new “Digital Signage as a Service” model that removes the need for costly initial capital investment. Through this offering, brands can now expand their footprints by utilizing Glass-Media’s innovative display technologies with flexible, affordable monthly payments to unlock faster rollouts, lower financial risk and more dynamic customer experiences.

“Retailers today want speed, scale and innovation, but their CapEx budgets often can’t keep up,” said Daniel Black, Founder and CEO of Glass-Media. “Our new partnership with IFS flips that equation. Now, any brand can adopt cutting edge display solutions with zero upfront investment and refresh designs on an accelerated lifecycle. It’s a game changer for those looking to evolve in store presence.”

Historically, brands exploring digital signage had to choose between limited pilot rollouts or steep prepaid investments, often compromising the quality or reach of implementations. The new Glass-Media and IFS program transforms this system by shifting the spend from CapEx to operational expenditure (OpEx), allowing retailers to expedite activations, maintain consistency across locations and upgrade displays without budgetary friction.

With IFS as a financing partner, Glass-Media customers can now access a range of premium signage solutions, from digital storefronts and portable, battery-powered solutions to countertop and beyond, through simple monthly payments. Financing terms of 36, 48 or 60 months include not only the hardware itself, but also logistics, support services and refreshes at end of term, ensuring brands stay current without the burden of replacement costs.

“Insight Financial Services structures and manages the financial side of deployment so Glass-Media’s clients don’t have to,” said Kathy Young, Senior Vice President at IFS. “We handle the operational layer to make the large execution, service based rollouts possible. This approach will give retailers the ability to upgrade designs on a regular timeline and better manage cash flow by spreading costs over time.”

Beyond financial flexibility, the partnership also supports brand consistency and technological agility. By adopting a service-based model, brands avoid the pitfalls of outdated, mismatched hardware across locations and gain the ability to continuously launch the latest commercial grade displays without compromising on form factor, resolution or innovation.

Glass-Media and IFS are now offering this program to both existing and prospective customers, with a focus on scalable rollouts that go beyond pilot phases. Whether a brand is launching digital signage for the first time or reimagining a successful proof of concept, this framework provides a clear, affordable path to national execution without sacrificing quality or speed.
