Reseller guide · barbershops
Barbershops: the easiest first screen to place.
Every chair faces a TV, every customer waits, and the same faces come back every few weeks. That is an audience neighboring businesses will pay to reach.
You pay $49 a month per screen plus a one-time $99 setup. The owner pays nothing.
Why a barbershop is a strong location
- Customers sit facing the screen for the whole visit.
- Regulars return every few weeks, so advertisers get repeat exposure.
- Owners know every business on the block, which gives you warm introductions.
What the owner gets for free
A managed screen
You set it up on the shop's TV and keep it current.
Cards of their own
Prices, barbers and walk-in hours, on screen so nobody has to ask.
Nothing to run
No subscription, no setup fee and no software for the owner to learn.
What one barbershop screen could carry
12 cards: 2 to 3 for the owner, the rest for you to sell. Each is a label, a headline, a line of detail and an optional photo and logo.

Questions about barbershops
What if the shop wants the game on?
The screen is a web page, so the owner can switch the TV input for the game and switch back after.
Does the owner pay anything?
No. You pay the $49 a month and the one-time $99 setup. The owner gets the screen and their own cards for free.
Who collects from advertisers?
Advertisers pay through the BEJ marketplace. The 10% fee comes off each payment and the rest goes to your bank.
