Let local businesses sponsor the screens in your salon

The problem

Your mirror tablets play videos all day, right in front of guests sitting in the chair. The café next door or the phone shop down the road would like to be seen there, and some would pay for it.

But arranging it yourself means agreeing prices, chasing payment, loading the video and remembering to take it down. So it never gets done.

How NexStyle handles it

NexStyle gives your salon a public sponsor page. It shows real numbers from the last 7 days (screens, branches, video plays and guests served) and the packages you set once. A business books a package and uploads a short video, which plays without sound as entertainment for your guests.

You set the price or make it free, and you watch and approve every video. It plays on the branches the sponsor chose, stops at the end date, and the sponsor gets a report of plays per day and per branch. Any money goes to your salon. NexStyle takes no cut.

Step by step

  1. Step 1: Accept the sponsor setup

    In the admin, open Sponsors. The first time, an owner or admin reads a short statement and selects Accept and continue. It says that sponsor videos play muted on screens inside your salon, facing guests in the chair, and that you are responsible for any council permit and for your agreements and payments with sponsors.

    Some councils may ask for a small yearly permit for sponsor content shown inside a shop. Check with your council if you are unsure.

  2. Step 2: Choose how sponsors pay

    Under Sponsor payments, Collect sponsor payments in NexStyle starts on when HitPay is connected. Sponsors then pay into your own HitPay after you approve, the same account the tablets use for QR payments. See take DuitNow QR payments that confirm themselves to connect it.

    Switch it off to arrange payment with sponsors yourself. Approved videos then start playing straight away, and sponsors see that you will arrange any payment with them directly.

  3. Step 3: Set your packages once

    Select Add package. Add one for each length you offer, for example 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Each package has a name, a number of days, the longest video it takes (15 or 30 seconds) and a price you choose, or Free.

    Pick All branches for one price that covers every branch, or Sponsor picks branches to charge per branch.

  4. Step 4: Put up the poster

    Select Print sponsor poster and put it where businesses will see it, such as your counter. The QR on it opens your sponsor page. To send the page to a business you know, use Sponsor page QR to copy the link.

  5. Step 5: A business books and uploads

    The business sees your numbers and packages, picks one and uploads a landscape MP4 video up to the package's length. Before it selects Send for review, it confirms that it owns the video or has permission for everything in it, and that the video follows Malaysian law.

  6. Step 6: Watch the whole video and approve it

    The video shows under Waiting for your review on your Sponsors page, and your dashboard shows how many are waiting. Select Approve, watch the video, then tick the box to confirm you watched it and it suits your guests. If it is not right for your salon, select Reject video and give a reason.

  7. Step 7: The video runs by itself

    If you collect payments in NexStyle and the package has a price, the sponsor pays through your HitPay and the video starts. Otherwise it starts as soon as you approve. It stops at the end date. You do not upload or remove anything.

  8. Step 8: The sponsor sees the plays

    In their sponsor portal, the business sees how often their video played each day and at each branch. They can book again from the same portal.

Collecting payments without HitPay? The sponsor pays you by DuitNow QR and uploads the receipt. Check the money reached you, then select Confirm payment and publish. If you do nothing, the video starts playing by itself 24 hours after the sponsor confirms paying.
