What should a digital estate agent window display show?

People walking past your agency have only a few moments to take in what's on screen. A digital window display should therefore do more than cycle through your entire property catalogue.

Its purpose is to select relevant information, present it clearly and encourage people to find out more.

A useful display combines three types of content: available properties, messages aimed at potential sellers or landlords, and straightforward ways to contact the agency.

  • Available properties

    Show a carefully selected range of residential or commercial properties with appealing photography and essential details. Help passers-by quickly see whether a listing could meet their needs.

  • Seller and landlord enquiries

    Make room for messages explaining that your agency can also help people sell or let their property. This allows the window to speak to prospective buyers as well as owners considering their next move.

  • Contact and next steps

    Make the next step clear for each message: view the full listing, call the agency or step inside. A simple call to action can help turn passing interest into an enquiry.

One property, one clear message

Your window display does not need to include every detail of a property. It needs to spark interest. A strong main photograph supported by carefully selected information is often more useful than a screen crowded with text.

Start with the property type and location. Then highlight the details that matter most to potential buyers or tenants, such as floor area, number of bedrooms and asking price where appropriate. Save secondary information for the full listing.

Visual hierarchy matters too. The photograph should attract attention, the headline should identify the property, and the main features should remain readable from a reasonable viewing distance.

For example, a creative could show a three-bedroom flat in a particular neighbourhood, highlight its 95 m² floor area and invite viewers to explore the full listing. There is no need to reproduce the complete property description.

Show enough to create interest, then make it easy to discover the details.

Make new instructions stand out

A featured property and a newly listed property serve different purposes. A featured listing gives additional visibility to a particular home, while a new instruction tells people that your property portfolio is changing.

Labels such as “New Listing” or “Just Added” help regular passers-by recognise new opportunities without comparing every property in the window.

These labels should reflect genuine changes. Once a listing is no longer new, update or remove the message rather than leaving it in place indefinitely.

Alternating new instructions with featured properties adds variety without overwhelming the screen. Each creative should retain one strong photograph and a small number of useful details.

Your window can speak to property owners too

Not everyone looking at your window is searching for a new home. Some may own a property they are considering selling or letting and may be deciding which agency to approach.

Including seller- and landlord-focused messages allows you to promote another important agency service without removing your available property listings.

Keep the message direct. A headline such as “Thinking of selling your home?” followed by an invitation to speak with your team is easier to understand than a long explanation of the sales process.

Avoid combining too many promises or services in one creative. A clear proposition, consistent visual identity and straightforward contact option are enough to encourage an initial conversation.

Turn window display interest into an enquiry

An attractive property listing is only the beginning. When someone stops outside your agency, make it easy for them to find out more.

The right action depends on the message. A property listing might lead to its online details, while a seller-focused campaign could invite someone to contact the agency.

Avoid competing calls to action on the same creative.

  • View property details

    A QR code can link directly to the full property listing, where visitors can explore photographs, specifications and other details. Make sure the code is easy to spot and scan, and that it opens a mobile-friendly page.

  • Call the agency

    A clearly displayed telephone number allows passers-by to save your details or call when convenient. Keep the number easy to read and avoid surrounding it with unnecessary text.

  • Step inside

    A simple invitation such as “Ask us inside” can work well when the office is open and easily accessible. The message should feel welcoming rather than demanding.

  • Enquire as a property owner

    Seller-focused messages can provide a dedicated contact route for people interested in selling or letting. This helps distinguish ownership enquiries from property searches.

How to organise a content sequence for your agency window

A digital screen can communicate several messages within the same window space. However, showing more content does not automatically mean communicating more effectively.

The key is to create a short, understandable sequence in which each creative has a clear purpose.

For an estate agency window, one practical approach is to rotate through four messages: a featured property, a new listing, a message for potential sellers and a clear way to get in touch.

Give each creative enough time to be read comfortably. Avoid rapid transitions, small text and overcrowded layouts.

There is no universal display duration that works for every window. Reading time depends on the amount of information, viewing distance and how people move past the agency.

A strong sequence does not try to explain everything. It delivers clear individual messages that work together.

  • PROPERTY — Capture interest

    Begin with an appealing property that is easy to recognise. Use one main photograph and only the essential information.

  • NEW LISTING — Show what’s new

    Introduce a recently added property. A clear new listing label helps distinguish it from your regular featured homes.

  • SELLERS — Reach another audience

    Display a message for people considering selling or letting their property. Keep the proposition simple and easy to understand.

  • CONTACT — Make the next step clear

    Finish the sequence with a visible way to contact the agency or explore additional information.

A useful display shows current information

Good window display content needs more than attractive design. Property availability, asking prices and contact details also need to stay accurate.

When a property is no longer available, remove it from the sequence. If the asking price or an important feature changes, review the creative before continuing to display it.

New instructions need attention too. Refreshing your selection regularly prevents the window from showing the same properties indefinitely.

Check seller messages, QR codes and contact options as well. A broken link or incorrect telephone number can interrupt a potential enquiry.

With a digital signage solution such as iMediaGO, you can organise and update the content published on your screens without replacing printed property cards whenever a listing changes.
