DIGITAL SIGNAGE FOR ALL How would you describe digital signage? An electronic sign that displays chang- ing content? Or Flat Panel Displays that present information in a public place? You wouldn’t be wrong, but you would cer- tainly be missing the big benefits of what digital signage can do. At Microspace, we would describe digital signage as a network of displays con- trolled at a central location, which allows an organization 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 signifi- cant additional costs. ese networks, also referred to as digital-out-of-home (DOOH), interact with an audience through dynamic content targeted specifi- cally for them and can accommodate a range of industries and applications. Digital signage is more cost effective than print media because electronic materi- als stay electronic. ey 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 goods and services. Because the network can be used 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 de- partment of motor vehicles by entertain- ing and informing your audience while they wait.

digital signage for allHow would you describe digital signage? An electronic sign that displays chang-ing content? Or Flat Panel Displays that present information in a public place? You wouldn’t be wrong, but you would cer-tainly be missing the big benefits of what digital signage can do.

At Microspace, we would describe digital signage as a network of displays con-trolled at a central location, which allows an organization 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 signageDigital 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 signifi-cant additional costs. These networks, also referred to as digital-out-of-home (DOOH), interact with an audience through dynamic content targeted specifi-cally for them and can accommodate a range of industries and applications.

Digital signage is more cost effective than print media because electronic materi-

als 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 goods and services. Because the network can be used 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 de-partment of motor vehicles by entertain-ing and informing your audience while they wait. In locations such as airports and train stations it can provide important alerts to customers.
