DIGITAL SIGNAGE FOR ALL

How would you describe digital signage? An electronic sign that displays changing content? Or Flat Panel Displays that present information in a public place? You wouldn’t be wrong, but you would certainly be missing the big benefits of what digital signage can do.

At Microspace, we would describe digital signage as a network of digital displays controlled at a central location, which allows a user to alter content to meet the needs and the interests of an audience. We would also describe it as a source of revenue, a way to educate and motivate an audience to purchase goods and services, a means of entertaining a captive audience, or a way to reinforce a brand.

THE RISE OF DIGITAL SIGNAGE

Digital signage has grown in popularity because of it’s ability to target a message to a specific audience and change that message easily without incurring significant additional costs. These networks, also referred to as digital-out-of-home (DOOH), interact with an audience through dynamic content targeted specifically for them and can accommodate a range of industries and applications.

Digital signage is more cost effective than print media because electronic materials stay electronic. They go directly from the graphic artist to the digital signage network without costly reproduction and distribution of materials. It can also serve as a source of revenue through the sales of advertising space or support the sales of your own goods and services. And because you can use the network to drive viewers to action, the ROI is measurable.

Customer service is also another growing use for digital signage. You can lessen the perceived wait or “dwell’ time in places like repair shops, doctors offices or department of motor vehicles by entertaining and informing your audience while they wait. In locations such as airports and train stations it can provide important alerts to customers.

SATELLITE FOR DIGITAL SIGNAGE

One of the most important components of a digital signage network is the ability to deliver dynamic content, and to change it as often as you want or need to. With satellite content distribution, cost savings can be realized along with the added benefit of a fully scalable and highly reliable solution.
