Digital Signage Systems Are Influential And Interactive

By Tanisha Berg


Signs are created with technology, and used in a variety of ways. Digital signage systems are located in many places these days to display all sorts of information like products and services in banks, marketing promotions in large department stores, schedules on university campuses, and flight schedules in airports. These systems can be used for virtually anything, given your imagination.

Retailers and companies call these systems a number of different ways such as electronic billboards, captive audience networks, retail TV, narrowcasting, out-of-home television, etc. Although these names all sound different, all the sign systems work to deliver information using graphics, audio, video, etc. They are usually in high definition displays and target the specific audiences that visit the area they are placed. For example, banks can display these types of signs inside and facing outside their premises. Customers could look at these while in line or while walking past and learn of special promotions. This would raise the sales made and provide more visibility for the bank's products.

With more marketing and advertising budgets shifting towards these systems, retailers and other companies are able to create more enjoyable and interactive experiences for their patrons. Having these signs speeds up communication, provides more effective marketing, generates more revenue, and influences customers' decisions on what to purchase. Industries other than retailers have also started to install these signs including healthcare facilities, sports venues, public transportation, government, etc.

There are many components that determine the overall structure of a digital sign. They could be installed with one or more displays, numerous media players, and content management servers. These different components could even be installed all in one device. Usually, a system will include a display and a server, all connected to a network and a media player.

You could connect a content management server to many different media players, or connect a media player to various displays. You could even have a stand-alone sign that includes all these components but doesn't utilize a network connection. Even without a network, all digital systems like these can run through different operating systems.

Using SMS systems through mobile phones, people could send messages to the displays. With Bluetooth, users can directly connect to the system and interact with the options on the screens. If the systems are additionally connected to a network, it can also allow for location-based or social media activity.

Digital signs significantly surpass the abilities of paper signs. Digital systems can be conveniently controlled with remotes, while paper signs require physical replacement and manual effort. Digital signs also don't waste resources and are environmentally friendly. They can also be animated and deliver sound, make them much more enjoyable than paper signs.

You'll need to keep a record of the content you want to provide on your displays, and what audiences you want to influence. Additionally, make sure the files you create are formatted uniformly. If you want, you can even write down even more content that you might use in the future for quicker postings later on.
