Turn Your Venue Screens Into Passive Income

Your Screens Are Already Earning — Just Not For You

If you run a café, gym, salon, clinic, or retail space in Dubai, chances are you have at least one digital screen on the wall right now. It might be showing a menu, a welcome message, or just sitting idle between uses. That screen is in front of your customers for hours every day — and right now, it's not generating a single dirham in revenue. Beyond Walls changes that. By listing your screens on our platform, you connect them to a marketplace of advertisers who are actively looking to reach audiences in venues exactly like yours. You keep 100% of every booking. We handle the rest.

How Venues Earn: Zero Upfront Cost

The model is simple: you provide the screen and the audience, advertisers provide the content and the budget, and Beyond Walls handles the matching, booking, payment, and scheduling. There is no cost to join, no monthly subscription, and no equipment to buy. If you already have a TV or digital display — whether it's a 43-inch smart TV in a café or a 65-inch screen in a gym — you can start earning immediately.

Advertisers browse available screens on the Beyond Walls platform, select the ones that match their target audience, and book them by the week. When a booking is made on your screen, you receive 100% of your screen rate. Advertisers pay a service fee on top, which covers platform operations, payment processing, and advertiser support. This is the highest revenue share offered by any DOOH platform in the UAE — most traditional networks keep 50% or more.

You Stay in Full Control

One of the biggest concerns venue owners have is simple: "Will I lose control of what appears on my screens?" The answer is no. Beyond Walls gives you complete control over which ads are allowed in your venue. You can set category preferences — for example, a family restaurant might exclude alcohol or gambling ads — and you can review and approve individual campaigns before they go live. Your screens are your space, and nothing plays without your say-so.

Realistic Earning Drivers: Footfall, Dwell Time, and Location

Three factors drive how much your screens can earn: footfall, dwell time, and location. Footfall is the number of people who walk through your doors each day — a busy mall kiosk sees more viewers than a quiet side-street salon. Dwell time is how long those people stay: a gym member on a 90-minute session sees your screen far more often than a customer grabbing a coffee to go. And location matters because advertisers pay a premium to reach specific Dubai neighbourhoods — a screen in Dubai Marina, DIFC, or Downtown Dubai commands higher rates than one in a less central area.

On average, venue owners on Beyond Walls earn between AED 2,000 and AED 4,000 per screen per month, with high-traffic venues in prime locations earning significantly more. A 55-inch screen in a busy Dubai Marina café will earn more than the same screen in a quieter neighbourhood café — but both will earn. If you have multiple screens, those earnings multiply.

All earnings are tracked in real time through your venue owner dashboard. You can see exactly which ads are running, how many impressions they've generated, and how much revenue you've earned — all updated live. Payouts are processed weekly, directly to your bank account, with full transaction records for your accounting.

What Venue Types Qualify?

If your venue has a digital screen that customers can see, it qualifies. Beyond Walls works with a wide range of venue types across Dubai and the wider UAE:

Hotels, retail stores, and other customer-facing venues are welcome too. If you're unsure whether your venue qualifies, the simplest test is this: do customers spend time in front of a screen? If yes, you can earn from it. Explore the full DOOH advertising marketplace to see the range of venues already listed.
