What is Digital Signage?
Digital Signage is a segment of electronic signage where technologies, such as LED, LCD and projection screens are used to show images, videos, web pages, weather, restaurant menu boards, and various other types of content.
Typically they can be found in public places, like lobbies, restaurants, train stations, retail stores, hotels, and office buildings. Digital Signage can be used to provide wayfinding, information, advertising, entertainment and beyond.
One or more screens can be connected together through a centralized digital signage manager that allows for the same or different content to be shown across any number of screens.
Examples of Digital Signage
There are a variety of applications for digital signage. It's often used to show:
Product photos, pricing, demos, and suggested applications
Public information like news, weather, building directories
Internal information for corporations or communities
Customer experience enhancing information
Behavioral influencing content
Use it to stand out among your competition, boost sales, communicate important information and more.
How does Digital Signage work?
You can either turn an existing screen into a digital sign with a media player app installed on a supported streaming stick or purchase a supported TV that allows you to install the media player app (aka digital signage software).
Either way, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on commercial grade screens. Advances in technology over the years has brought the cost of this technology down considerably. Regular TV screens can be used to create a professional, reliable solution for your business.
