Digital Signage Systems Prove Popular With Retailers

By Tanisha Berg


These days, technology is used to create signs. These digital signage systems are used to show information in many different locations. This includes marketing promotions in department stores, flight schedules at airports, product services in banks, safety or class information on school campuses, etc. The extent to which these digital signs can be used for is endless, only depending on one's imagination.

These digital sign systems have many different identifications. They include narrowcasting, captive audience networks, out-of-home television, electronic billboards, or retail TV. However, even with all these names, the main goal of the signs remains the same; they seek to provide information to patrons through videos, graphics, and audio. The graphics and videos are usually very high quality, and are placed in specific areas for a target demographic. For example, they can be placed within financial institutions like banks to occupy the attention of customers and to promote certain products and services. This raises revenues for these premises and provide a lot of visibility for the services.

A lot of retailers have invested a lot of their budget to marketing with these digital systems, allowing more customers to experience more interactive and enjoyable stays on the premises. Installing these systems allows for speedy communication, impactful advertising, rise in revenue, and marketing towards certain purchases. Many other industries have also started using these signs such as the government, healthcare industries, sports venues, entertainment facilities, and public transportation.

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.

These digital signs are highly convenient with the use of remotes, while paper has to be manually replaced and might require brief travel. Since digital signs don't need replacement every time information changes, it is environmentally friendly as well. They are also much more vivid and animated than paper signs.

Before you install your sign system, organize all your information. Make sure you know what content and text you want to be displayed, and what demographic you'd like the target. Make sure your files are saved in the same formats as well. It is smart to also think of future content so that you don't have to think of them later.
