What if my clinic doesn't have a great storefront window?

We work with both window-facing and interior placements. Many med spas actually see better results with waiting room screens.

What stops me from just buying my own screen?

Nothing, and we offer that as the Own It option. The lease is for clinics that want hands-off content management.

How long does install take?

Typically 2 to 3 hours. You're live the same day.

Is there a contract for the lease?

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.

What kind of content can I run?

Instagram posts and Reels, TikTok videos, before/after photos, treatment menus, promotions, custom graphics, anything visual.

Do you handle the content design?

Yes. We format your existing Instagram and TikTok content for screen display, schedule it, and handle weekly updates.

What's included in maintenance?

Software updates, hardware troubleshooting, content scheduling, and any technical support. If something breaks, we fix it.

Do you work outside of Toronto?

Yes. We serve all of Ontario and ship and support screens across Canada, with hands-on installs concentrated in Toronto and the GTA.

Digital storefront screens in Toronto, Ontario and across Canada

HotCrowd installs and manages digital storefront screens that turn your window into a moving advertisement. We take the Instagram Reels, TikToks, before-and-after photos and treatment menus you already create and put them on a bright screen facing the sidewalk, where thousands of people walk past your door every week. Our tagline says it plainly: Reels in real life. We serve Toronto and the GTA in person and support businesses anywhere in Ontario and across Canada.

Why a storefront screen beats another Instagram post

Social media reaches people who already follow you. A storefront screen reaches everyone who walks by, including the people who live and work within a few blocks of your clinic and have never heard of you. Instagram impressions are scattered across the country and disappear in twenty-four hours. A screen in your window runs all day, every day, in front of a hyper-local audience that can actually walk in and book. For a med spa, an aesthetic clinic or a restaurant on a busy Toronto street, that difference is the whole point: attention that converts into foot traffic.

How the install works

The process is short. First we visit your location, measure the window, check sunlight and power, and confirm the best placement. Some businesses do better with a window-facing screen, others get more value from a waiting-room or interior placement, and we will tell you honestly which one fits. Then we install the hardware, usually in two to three hours, and you are live the same day. After that we format your existing content for screen display, build the playlist, and schedule it. If something ever breaks, we come and fix it. You never manage software, cables or file formats.

Content we run on your screen

Anything visual works: Instagram posts and Reels, TikTok videos, before-and-after treatment photos, service and price menus, seasonal promotions, staff introductions, Google review highlights and custom graphics we design for you. We reformat vertical social video so it fills the screen, keep the loop short enough to catch a passer-by, and rotate the content weekly so regulars on the street keep noticing something new. For restaurants we highlight daily specials, lunch offers and dishes that photograph well. For clinics we lead with results, offers and clear next steps.

Pricing options for Ontario and Canadian businesses

There are three ways to work with HotCrowd. Own It is a one-time hardware purchase: you buy the screen outright, we install it, and you can add ongoing content management for a small monthly fee. We Run It is a month-to-month lease with no contract, where the screen, install, maintenance and weekly content updates are all included, and you can cancel any time. Revenue Share gives eligible storefronts a free screen with a set number of advertising slots, so the screen can pay for itself instead of costing you anything up front. Screens come in 50-inch and 55-inch sizes.

Where we operate across Ontario and Canada

We are based in Toronto and serve the GTA in person, with live screens already running in local restaurants and clinics including Pizza Rustica on Blue Jays Way, Aaferin on Eglinton and Convenience Canada. Beyond Toronto, we work with businesses across Ontario, from Mississauga and Brampton to Ottawa, Hamilton, London and Kitchener-Waterloo, and we ship and support screens anywhere in Canada through remote onboarding and courier delivery. Because our crew installs and services Toronto-area locations in person, in-person support stays same-week, while Ontario and Canadian clients further afield get fast remote support and managed content updates. Expansion into more Canadian markets is ongoing.
