Holiday park screens for reception, the clubhouse and the shop, and what they cost
You run a holiday park or a caravan park, and guests keep asking reception what is on, what is open and what the weather will do.
The short answer
Put a TV in reception, the clubhouse and the shop. Show today's activities, which facilities are open, the 5-day forecast and any park notices. Change them from your phone, from anywhere on the park.
NowBoard is free on one TV. After that, Starter is £10 per TV a month ex VAT, so three screens cost £30 a month ex VAT. You can sell space on the screens to on-site businesses, such as the café or the bike hire. NowBoard takes a small commission on each sale and you keep the rest.
How to set it up
- Sign up free and pair the reception TV. Scan the QR code on the screen with your phone.
- Turn on weather for your Site, so its Boards show the current conditions and a 5-day forecast.
- Add today's activities as Events, and your facilities as Places, each marked open, busy or closed.
- Put the Boards in one Channel, so reception, the clubhouse and the shop all show the same news.
For example, you could show the kids' club times in the morning, the bar's quiz night in the afternoon, and a wind warning across every screen when you need to close the play park.

Questions
How much does digital signage cost for a holiday park?
The software is free on one TV. Starter is £10 per TV a month ex VAT and Professional is £20. Use the TVs you have with the Player App, or add a NowBoard Player (£149 ex VAT, UK only) to each TV.
Can it work across more than one park?
Yes. Group each park's screens in its own Site. A Channel can show the same Boards on every park, or each park can show its own.
Does it need the internet all day?
Each screen needs a connection to get changes. Wi-Fi in reception and the clubhouse is enough.
