<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-295"></span>Whereas many organisations have a front desk “plasma screen view” of the day’s meetings, individual meeting room digital<br />
signage has been a relatively expensive option, even though a significant return on investment can be achieved by focusing<br />
on real time recording of check-ins, no-shows and by-the-minute room availability.</p>
<p>One of the cost issues associated with individual meeting room digital signage has been the short cycle of obsolescence<br />
associated with hardware which has a very specific intended use. Replacing hardware every 2 to 4 years can mean the associated<br />
costs quickly become more than the combined other costs of system deployment.</p>
<p>Sun Group has developed new Android Tablets, which are inexpensive and essentially a commodity item. Organisations can vary the size and<br />
quality of the tablets, depending on whether they are used for display, “big button interface”, or full user interface with typing.</p>
<p>There has never been a better time to realise the benefits associated with individual meeting room digital signage, such as check-ins,<br />
No-Show logging by any admin staff (as opposed to expensively nominated “floor walkers”), early finish indication, instant bookings, etc.<br />
The increase in Room Utilisation percentage can be quite measurable, and can impact bottom-line facilities costs as more meetings are held<br />
in the same space.</p>

<p>Increase revenues at the point-of-sale (POS). Digital signage at the point-of-purchase (POP) has been proven to effectively drive sales by displaying relevant and readily available product information. <span id="more-152"></span>Similarly, retail digital signage can also be used as an effective wayfinding and crowd-control device. Because the point-of-purchase is oftentimes the point-of-decision, digital signage also acts as sales guiding tool, bridging the gap between retail browsers and retail buyers.<br />
In addition, retail digital signage can be used to inform staff on customer information and product benefits, keeping them current on company offerings. With Stinova web-based digital signage management system, retail and hospitality managers can place desired messages at the time and place they are needed most.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tablets As Restaurant Menus</strong></p>
<p>Although people might not be eating out as much, restaurants are still trying to find unique ways to entice customers. One of those ways is through the use of tablets. Instead of relying on the traditional paper menus, more and more restaurants from the quick and casual to the upscale steakhouses are setting up tablets as their menus. For the most part, diners love the innovative menus, because they can order fast and engage in more conversation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/digital-menus-tablet.jpg"><img title="digital-menus-tablet" src="http://www.digitalsignageforum.org/news/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/digital-menus-tablet.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=530&amp;h=305&amp;hash=44279193ab36a37e66549ef71ea674a9" alt="" /></a><span id="more-302"></span></p>
<p>Most of the research shows that the types of restaurants really relying on technology are those that allow people to build their item. These types of places include<strong> sandwich joints and pizza places</strong>. The other main type of restaurant taking advantage of the tablet technology is upscale restaurants like steakhouses. These steakhouses are able to really show how a diner’s meat will look visually (from ultra-rare to medium well preferences). Customers can then really know what they’re biting into. They can also make recommendations about what wine selections work with certain entrees. The tablets allow restaurants to use suggestive selling and up-selling to build the tickets–for each individual order.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tablet-menu.jpg"><img title="tablet-menu" src="http://www.digitalsignageforum.org/news/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tablet-menu.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=550&amp;h=230&amp;hash=809680067069704df527789c2937f48b" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>To be quite honest though, the incorporation of the technology could turn into a big mistake. While the tablets might help people order more quickly, it’s kind of the same thing as the u-scanners at grocery stores. Once you employ any new technology, workers’ hours tend to be cut and the business does not need as many employees in general. Part of the experience of dining is receiving personal customer service from a real person—the waitress/waiter. Because there is a lack of communication elicited from the tablet to the table of diners, more order mess-ups are apt to happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/iPad-restaurant-menu.png"><img title="iPad-restaurant-menu" src="http://www.digitalsignageforum.org/news/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.techbucket.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/iPad-restaurant-menu.png&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=423&amp;h=236&amp;hash=8b65996664d2004d92836d108fd8a169" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And let’s just forget about the customers and staff for a moment, how about the expense and responsibility of having expensive tablets in restaurants. Not only can malfunctions and technological issues with the software impact diner service, but how about when the screens break or crack? And there’s the chance that when restaurants are closed, there is the risk of both internal theft and/or stealing. These are all disadvantages that could hurt restaurant sales rather than help them increase their customer base.</p>
<p>And what about those who cannot relate to the tablet craze? Unless your part of the generation x, yuppie, or young single generations, even the baby boomers are going to have a hard time adjusting to tablets instead of menus.</p>
<p>Menus help show the restaurant’s image off and give diner’s a sense of what the food is all about. I don’t know about you, but before dining in a new restaurant, glancing at a menu and the way it is organized says a lot about the kind of food they must serve.</p>

<p>The restaurant implemented its new iPad-based menu’s less than one week after the Australian launch of the product.<span id="more-308"></span></p>
<p>“One of the points of difference for our restaurant was to have a unique menu,” the hotel’s general manager Craig Simpson commented to the press on Friday. “Everyone’s excited about the iPad and we’re jumping on the back of that.”</p>
<p>Hundreds of hopeful customers lined-up around the block in Central Sydney on May 28th to have a shot at being one of the first few in Australia to pick-up the new tablet computer. Simpson flew to Adelaide on the launch day of the iPad and purchased 15 of the highly-desired tablets on their launch day, paying A$629 each.”It’s the cost of doing business,” he said.</p>
<p>The restaurant also had an iPad application which allows customers to browse the restaurant’s menu along with photographs and notes about the taste of the meal. Customers can also order their meal with a press of a button. The restaurant hopes to add the ability to suggest wines to match to meals and use stock control menu’s to hide items that are sold-out on the menu in the future.</p>
<p>“Hotels used to be cutting-edge food and beverage,” Simpson said. “We are trying to bring the pizzazz back.”</p>

<div>Shoppers may soon see retail employees patrolling store aisles looking  like Star Trek officers carrying tablet computers. More than half of  retailers surveyed by RIS News are testing in-store tablets in 2012.  <span id="more-528"></span></div>
<div>
<p><em>&#8220;Retail Embraces Tablets,&#8221; which is based on survey responses from more than 50 retailers, uncovers such findings as:</em></p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>While only 6% of respondents report that tablets are fully deployed  in their stores today, another 28% are currently testing tablets in  stores and an additional 31% plan to begin testing in 2012.</li>
<li>Retailers are divided between those who want to use rugged tablets  that can survive a drop test (58.8%) and those that want to use consumer tablets that are inexpensive and user friendly (56.9%). (Retailers  could select both answers to this question).</li>
<li>Some of the major drivers in the increased interest in retail  tablets include sales floor support (51.9%), updating/refreshing the  store experience (48.1%), increasing comp-store sales (46.3%) and  connecting to enterprise apps (42.6%)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>&#8220;Our research reveals that tablet adoption is no longer a question  for retailers. They know they are going to deploy tablets in the  near-term, it&#8217;s just a matter of what types of tablets and how they&#8217;ll  integrate them into the store experience,&#8221; commented Joe Skorupa,  editor-in-chief at RIS News.</p>
<p>&#8220;The feedback from the retailers surveyed for this study reflects the growing interest we&#8217;ve seen over the last 12 months in deploying our  store merchandising software on tablets,&#8221; commented RBM&#8217;s Chief  Operating Officer Dan Wittner.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tablets designed specifically for the enterprise are bringing  operations to the store floor in order to ensure all locations are  performing exactly as they were designed to.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building directories have been around pretty much ever since there have been large-scale buildings. Easy building navigation and resident identification are important features for many different types of residential, business, and commercial building tenants and visitors. In the past, static and paper signage have &#8220;gotten the job done&#8221; as building directories go, but a digital building directory is advantageous on multiple fronts. Digital displays are easy to spot and easy to read. More importantly, however, content management and content player software programs allow these digital displays to be instantly and efficiently updated to ensure accurate information. They create solid opportunities for company and building branding. And dynamic and/or interactive digital displays can also bolster visual communication for both visitors and occupants, fostering a sense of community within the building.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Cruise Line Navigation Signs</p>
<p>While the helmsman surely thinks of &#8220;no wake zones,&#8221; &#8220;no anchorage,&#8221; and &#8220;low clearance dam&#8221; signs, once a cruise ship is out in open waters, cruise line navigation signs more likely speak to the activities director and scores of passengers looking for the nearest bar service, cyber café, spa, and other entertainment and recreation areas. As cruise line enthusiasts and managers know, navigating around these massive ships is not always a straightforward, intuitive process.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Cruise Line Touch Screen Signs</p>
<p>Cruise ships have been using for digital displays for their guests and staff for more than a decade now, but the new generation of digital signage technology has upped the ante with versatile and cost-effective software systems, including interactive touch screens. These cruise line touch screen signs are exponentially increasing the amount of information that these ships can effectively communicate to their guests. And rather than bombard guests with digital information boards at every turn, these more subtle signs and kiosks help return the romantic, escapist feel that cruise ships are known for.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Cruise Ship Digital Signage</p>
<p>The cruise line and digital sign industries run on a parallel path with one another. Each industry focuses on optimizes guest services, cutting-edge amenities, and luxurious settings for both middle-class and affluent clientele. And while cruise liners have been around for more than a century and digital signs have been around for only a decade or two, these mutual goals have fostered dovetailing interests and increasingly consistent partnerships. Indeed, nowadays, a project for cruise ship digital signage is more likely an upgrade or overhaul of digital signs than an initial installation. But no matter where your fleet currently stands with its visual communication and information services, it will behoove you to take a look another look at these exciting signage systems.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Airline Digital Signage</p>
<p>The Federal Aviation Administration has enough on their plate trying &#8220;to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.&#8221; Surprisingly, FAA-regulated scheduled departure times do not account for delays caused by air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, crew availability, or weather. But what many people don&#8217;t realize is that the company Flyte Systems tracks and publishes this information in real-time. More importantly, Four Winds Interactive (FWi) and Flyte Systems have teamed up to deliver this information to air travelers.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Airport Digital Signage</p>
<p>Airport digital signage is most often associated with the automated ticketing kiosks and ubiquitous arrival/departure information boards. For many air travelers, however, the most useful type of digital sign is the display board that can be found before heading to the airport. From last-minute flight changes to airport-wide delays, timely information can save travel-weary passengers many hours of futile waiting by notifying them of lengthy delays ahead of time. While not all air travelers leave from the same place, there are certain locations that are more likely to see these travelers than others. And these venues have started installing airport digital signage in common areas.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Reader Board Service Provides Boost to Customer Care</p>
<p>Lighted, colorful digital lobby signage is often the first thing that draws guests&#8217; attention when they enter a hotel. When you include interactive reader board services in that signage, guests have a positive response. They like being able to navigate their way around the facility with the sign&#8217;s wayfinding features. They enjoy learning more about the amenities the hotel offers. They like having immediate access to news headlines, sports scores, weather reports, and airline flight information.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Reader Board Marquee: Reaching Out in a Big Way</p>
<p>Like all digital signage, an outdoor reader board marquee offers a unique opportunity to reach customers, blending colorful lettering, animated images, and even flashing and scrolling text to compel attention from passersby. Unlike traditional marquees, today&#8217;s digital marquees can be updated electronically so they&#8217;re easy to keep current. A sign owner that wants to change a marquee no longer has to find all the required individual letters, wait for a good weather day, haul out the ladder, then climb up and down several times to change out the message. Instead, sitting in a warm, comfortable office, the sign owner can make all the changes necessary on a desktop or laptop computer, preview how the changes will appear on the sign, and then send out the revisions electronically. The new message appears right away.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>A Customized Reader Board Works Well in Any Setting</p>
<p>Like all other types of digital signage, a reader board is easy to update and to customize. Well-designed reader boards enable any business or organization—hotel, convention center, cruise ship or university—to provide guests with information that&#8217;s both up-to-the minute and appropriate to the local audience.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Selecting Software for Readerboard Signs</p>
<p>Readerboard signs provide a versatile and cost-effective way for businesses to communicate with their customers. The clear, crisp, colorful displays of readerboard signs attract attention and create impressions that people remember. Some companies may be reluctant to use readerboard signs because they don&#8217;t feel that they have the necessary skills to create effective and attractive signage. But with the right digital signage software, anyone with a basic knowledge of computers (and that&#8217;s most people these days) can easily learn to design, update and schedule your signage.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Portable Reader Boards Bring Communications Closer</p>
<p>Businesses that are accustomed to the benefits of digital signage in an office or retail setting may regret its loss when they have to make an off-site presentation or appear at some a convention or trade show. A portable reader board is an excellent solution to this problem, offering the same advantages as in-place digital signs while giving a business the ability to take its message on the road.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Update Customers with a Pharmacy LED Sign</p>
<p>Providing information about medications is a vital service that a pharmacy provides to its customers. But if a pharmacist tried to give each customer the latest updates on product recalls, research studies and more, the lines at the pharmacy&#8217;s register could stretch out the door. A well-placed and attractive digital sign can help a pharmacy fulfill its educational role while leaving the pharmacist free to concentrate on the important task of filling prescriptions.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Surprise Customers with Outdoor Reader Board Signs</p>
<p>Contrast that to digital outdoor reader board signs. Not only can those signs change to count down the days before Christmas—a reminder that it&#8217;s time to start shopping—they can also display a rotating display of gift suggestions. So as they wait for the bus, passengers may get a good idea of what to get for everyone on their gift lists, from Grandma to the family dog. A sign like that is sure to both surprise them and get their attention.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LED Outdoor Signs: Varied Locations, Versatile Content</p>
<p>An outdoor LED display can be placed on a stadium wall, atop a taxicab, or over top of a newspaper kiosk. Digital signs are appearing over subway station entrances, on the sides of trolleys and transit company buses and even on bike racks and gas pumps. The digital displays showcase advertising messages and announcements that vary not only by location but also by time-of-day.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Showcase Your Business with a Marquee Sign</p>
<p>But times have changed and today many more businesses are now using a different version of a marquee sign. But these signs have not been as eye-catching or as attention-getting as their predecessors. Whether the marquee sign was sitting in front of a store in a strip shopping center, mounted on the exterior of a restaurant or even perched on the roof of an auto mechanic&#8217;s garage, it usually featured a white background, with black and sometimes red lettering (all in the same, one-size font) spelling out the message. Marquees had become boring.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Create a Sense of Urgency with LED Scrolling Display</p>
<p>When businesses were limited to the use of traditional, static signage, they had very few ways to create a sense of urgency. Large lettering or bright colors could draw attention to the sign, but they still didn&#8217;t communicate the idea of &#8220;This is what&#8217;s happening right now, right at this moment.&#8221; But today, using even a very basic LED scrolling display, businesses can bring that sense of immediacy to their communications.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LED Reader Boards Serve Multiple Purposes</p>
<p>Only a decade ago, a hotel reader board might consist simply of a listing of the days&#8217; events printed out that morning on the facility’s copier. Some display boards might also include a layout of the hotel and/or a copy of its restaurant’s menu. Those boards provided the basics, but they were boring and easily forgotten or overlooked. Contrast that with today’s LED reader boards, which provide a great deal more information and generate a lot more interest from hotel guests. With its interactive features, a modern LED reader board draws people in and allows them to get all the details they need about an event, its location, and even about what’s going on in the outside world.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LED Message Board: Are You Sending the Right Message?</p>
<p>Considering an investment in a LED message board or some other type of digital signage? Although the type of hardware that you buy is important, it’s even more essential that you get the right signage software. If you purchase software that’s too limited or too difficult to use you’re unlikely to get the best return on your investment. The messages on LED message boards won’t get updated as frequently as they should. You may find that the signs are not well designed, or that they do not take advantage of the full range of capabilities that digital signs offer</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Promotions Stand Out with a LED Marquee</p>
<p>Non-profit organizations often host events like art auctions or carnivals as fundraisers for the causes that they support. Since the goal is to bring in as much money as possible, they need to get the support of the general community. But small notices in the local newspaper or easily-overlooked conventional signs are no longer sufficient to spread the word. A better alternative is a LED marquee that announces the event. A digital sign will get the attention it deserves and bring in the paying guests.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Increase Your Business’ Visibility with LED Display Boards</p>
<p>Businesses become successful because they know how to meet the needs of their target markets. But they won’t grow unless their prospective customers know about the products and services that they offer. LED display boards are an attractive, modern approach to providing that information.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Five Reasons to Own a LED Business Sign</p>
<p>Are you stuck in the 20th century when it comes to your signage program? If you don’t have at least one LED business sign in your store or restaurant, you’re at the risk of appearing outdated and out-of-touch.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Replace Boring Signage with LED Boards</p>
<p>Suppose a building management company offers all its tenants LED boards for signs outside of their offices. The signs flanking the building’s daycare center would be bright with primary colors and large lettering, designed to appeal to younger audiences. An attorney’s office would undoubtedly choose a more formal conservative look, while a day spa might decide upon a casual, elegant appearance. The digital signs for the building’s restaurants and retail outlets could include images of mouth-watering menu items or luxurious products designed to entice customers inside.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LED Billboards Allow Better Targeting for Advertisers</p>
<p>The needs and interests of a busy financial executive heading to work are very different from those of a harried mother taking children to pre-school or a retired couple on their way to an exercise class. But until the advent of LED billboards, advertisers never had the opportunity to deliver billboard messages specifically designed to attract the attention of each group.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Guests Appreciate Hotel Reader Boards&#8217; Convenience</p>
<p>Although every hotel tries to provide personal assistance to its guests, there are times when the staff is working at capacity just to handle the demands of guests checking in or checking out. Hotel reader boards can help ensure that guests don’t have to wait in long lines when all they want is directions to a meeting room or information about the hotel restaurant’s hours of operations.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Gamblers Spend When Gamefinders Point the Way</p>
<p>Imagine the frustration of a gambler who had a good time—and a great winning streak—at a particular slot machine on his last visit to your facility. Now he’s returned, and although he believed he had carefully noted the location of his lucky machine, it’s not where he thought it was. So instead of sitting down and feeding dollars into the machine right away, your guest spends the next half hour wandering the casino floor, trying to find something that will lead him to “his” machine. After a time, he gives up and sits down at another machine only to lose all his money quickly.  He ends up leaving your casino frustrated and unhappy.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Electronic Reader Boards: Small Space, Big Returns</p>
<p>In the hotel lobby, an attractive electronic reader board helps guests navigate through various guest areas, conference rooms, restaurants, and retail areas. It can provide them not only with information about the day’s events and where they’re being held but also with the kind of information that visitors like to have, such as updates on weather, news, sports, and traffic problems in the area.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Electronic Message Display: One Sign for Many Purposes</p>
<p>Take an electronic message display in a large retail operation. The store may want to use the sign primarily as a wayfinding device, pointing shoppers in the right direction for shoes, men’s clothing, housewares, etc. But between the times it displays the store map and directory, the sign may also show brief advertisements for seasonal items, announce current and upcoming sales, and flash appropriate greetings for holidays. Instead of creating and installing multiple conventional signs, the store can get it all done with just one digital sign.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Design Electronic Message Centers for Maximum Impact</p>
<p>Electronic message centers enable businesses and other organizations to communicate with all their audiences: customers or members, employees, and the general public. But the design of a message board may determine its effectiveness. A poorly conceived, overly-busy sign can actually detract from a message, while a well-designed sign leaves viewers with a positive impression and helps them remember what’s being communicated.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signs Allow Easy Integration of Signage Symbols</p>
<p>At U.S. airports, train stations, and other transportation hubs, digital signs with universal signage symbols provide comforting wayfaring assistance for non-English speaking customers. Every traveler understands that the male/female symbols signal bathrooms, that the wheelchair symbol indicates accessibility for handicapped persons, and that a knife and fork show where people can buy food.(more)</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage Suppliers: Your Partners in Signs</p>
<p>Businesses that are making an investment in digital signs should understand the importance of choosing the right signage suppliers. A supplier should serve as a partner when companies are looking for hardware and software for their digital displays. A supplier should also serve as an advisor who can point out the advantages and disadvantages of the different systems that are available in the crowded digital screen marketplace.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Questions About Digital Signage Installation</p>
<p>If you’re a company that already has a skilled tech team in place, you may be able to handle the integration of the signage software and hardware into your existing systems. But if you’re without that in-house expertise, you’ll want to know that you can rely on representatives from your digital sign vendor to be there in person to ensure that your signage installation goes smoothly.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage Examples Everywhere You Look</p>
<p>Stop by your neighborhood convenience store on your way to work and you’re sure to find several signage examples. There may be a deli kiosk where you place your breakfast sandwich order and an interactive lottery terminal where you can choose the numbers for your winning ticket. Before you leave, you can stop by the DVD rental box and use its touch screen to pick up a movie to view that night. As you drive to work, you’ll see digital signage examples everywhere—billboards, store signs, restaurants and even in road construction zones</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Use a PowerPoint Kiosk Will Enhance Customer Communications</p>
<p>Most businesses today use PowerPoint for in-house presentations, introducing a new product at a sales force meeting or highlighting the benefits of a product upgrade to their field service reps. But some companies have found a way to get additional mileage out of the valuable information that’s contained in those presentations. Using a PowerPoint kiosk, they provide their customers with the latest news about their products and services.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Open Signage Should Excite and Intrigue</p>
<p>Space is limited on a standard open sign, reducing what you can convey to your customers. Most static signs provide only enough room for store hours and a logo. A digital open sign, however, allows for much more information to be shared. Suppose you operate a convenience store. With digital signage, you can post hours of operation but also have a running display of the specials of the week.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Kiosk Systems Enhance Customer Communications</p>
<p>One of the biggest benefits of kiosks is that they are easy to keep current. Suppose a conference speaker had to cancel at the last minute. Before the advent of digital signs, someone would have to print out notices about the cancellation and then tack them up on the doors of the presentation room and conference bulletin boards along with a blast email to those registered for the event. Contrast that to a conference center using a digital kiosk system. A conference center employee could remotely broadcast the cancellation to conference information kiosks and relevant digital signs in the building. Conference-goers can then use any kiosk to search for alternatives to that workshop or presentation and get updated information on where the presentation will take place.</p>

<p>Improve Customer Service Using Digital Shop Signage</p>
<p>Owners and managers of retail stores are facing a highly competitive environment. While customers continue to raise the bar in demanding outstanding customer service, proprietors are forced to keep staff payroll at minimal levels to keep their products competitively priced. One way stores meet this demand is with digital shop signage.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Fire Signage Provides Help to Building Occupants</p>
<p>People sometimes panic when a fire alarm sounds, forgetting everything they’ve learned about exiting a building quickly and calmly. What if there was an easy way to communicate with people after the fire alarm sounds? What if there was a way to calm them down and remind them of the steps to take to exit safely? Digital fire signage could provide that opportunity.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Banish Boring Building Signage</p>
<p>Some of the world’s most famous digital building signage is on display every New Year’s Eve, serving as a backdrop as the ball in Times Square drops to signal the start of another year. Even outside of holidays, the huge digital sign demands attention from thousands of New Yorkers and tourists alike.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Safety Signage for Businesses and Public Venues</p>
<p>Safety signage is a staple at myriads of public areas today. Swimming pools are riddled with “no running”, “no diving”, and “no lifeguard on duty signs”. Public buildings display “no smoking” and “fire exit” signs. Warehouses and construction sites sport signs warning people of hazardous materials, forklifts in use, and the need for foot/head/eye/ear protection. Entertainment venues use slippery surface, first aid, and emergency phone signs. If you&#8217;re considering what safety signs should be present at your venue or business location, take at the following considerations along with digital safety signage applications for your upcoming project.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Understanding All Aspects of a Digital Signage Screen</p>
<p>Before you begin the process of implementing your digital signage system, a digital signage screen is liable to seem like a fairly simple purchase. Some business owners and managers may equate the buying decision with shopping for a commercial-grade TV. In the simplest terms, this may not be too far from the truth, but the back-end infrastructure and implementation of a signage project for an organization require more in-depth understanding than the average electronic sales associate can provide. From the technological specifications to the creative content to screen placement, how you choose, install, and manage a digital signage screen is paramount to the overall success of the system.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>The Interactive Kiosk: A New Standard for Businesses!</p>
<p>With more than a decade under its belt, the interactive kiosk can no longer be described as the latest fad or the newest technology, but it is still revolutionizing the American economy as more and more industries find applications for it. Many applications have become so widely implemented that they’ve become a standard for grocery stores, movie theaters, and banks among many others. From specific applications to larger market trends, here are some things to consider before planning out your kiosk system.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>The Components of a Kiosk Hardware System</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s a self-service checkout, information display, wayfinding map, building directory, or ticketing booth, kiosks are becoming increasingly prominent in American business. Kiosk hardware is the front-facing portion of your kiosk presentation. Some essential kiosk hardware functions include ensuring that your stations are visually appealing, comfortable to operate, and outfitted to complete transactions relevant to your business model. Take a look at the following components of kiosk hardware to develop the best possible kiosk system for your business or organization.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage Integrators</p>
<p>Digital signage integrators are the professionals who help design, install, and implement a comprehensive signage system for organizations that need a turnkey digital signage solution. Integrators bring together all the separate components of a digital sign system, like digital screens, content design, software players, hardware players, and content management software to combine them into an overarching digital network. With this in mind, here&#8217;s what else you should know about digital signage integration as you work to create a new system or improve an existing one.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Business Signage vs. Other Types of Digital Signage</p>
<p>Business signage is the most common application for digital signage, but it&#8217;s not the only one. More and more, the public sector, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations are realizing the potential of digital displays and kiosks that serve to bolster information technology, data management, and employee communication. The end result is more efficient and cost-effective public services. While private companies frequently value these same capabilities which improve their operational efficiency, business signage is also used for advertising, marketing, and branding which increase sales revenue.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage and Digital Sign Printing</p>
<p>Typically, digital signage refers to permanent signs, displays, and kiosks that broadcast digital content and are distinctive from digital sign printing. Yet, there are often effective ways and applications in which a business or organization may coordinate these two, seemingly separate, efforts. If you&#8217;re just starting to tap into the possibilities of digital technology for your business—or just starting up the business itself—you should take a look at the following ways in which digital signs and digital sign printing are related.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Creating Effective Outdoor Signage</p>
<p>Nearly every business or organization can find a palpable need for outdoor signage in one form or another. While indoor signs may be easier to install, there are limited venues and applications for these signs. There&#8217;s the obvious use of storefront signs, building identifiers, and other signs that help customers and clients navigate your location. But billboards, banners, yard signs, and other exterior signs provide ample and distinctive advertising opportunities that may be too good for your organization to pass up. With this in mind, here are some things to consider to ensure that you&#8217;re deploying effective outdoor signage.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage Hardware</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for a particular unit or a battery of hardware products for your digital signage system, whether you&#8217;re trying to enhance your existing signage with a few hardware accessories or you&#8217;re building a system from the ground up, this overview of digital signage hardware should set you on a reliable path to finding the right company, the right product, and the right installation service for your business or organization.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Using Digital Technology for Your Event Signage</p>
<p>No matter how small or large your target audience or attendance goal, promoting your event is critical to its success. You can have the best food, the best speakers, the best entertainment, and the best seating in the world, but if nobody knows about your event, it&#8217;s going to be a bust. Event signage is the totality of the displays—signs, web pages, billboards, and others—that get the word out about your event. With some smart planning, this information can include everything from details about the parking to the event&#8217;s core message.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Beware of Free Digital Signage Software</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re creating a digital sign for fun to, say, warn the neighborhood about your dog or for personalized sign art in a spare room of the house, then by all means make use of as much free digital signage as you can from free digital signage software downloads to a hand-me-down LCD television. If you&#8217;re involved in a serious business venture—and what business venture isn&#8217;t?—then you would do well to avoid the narrower design and operating capacity, the overly complex interface, and/or the limited shelf life of free digital signage products, particularly free software downloads. As an additional warning, here are the most important dangers and who&#8217;s at risk by opting for free digital signage software. (more)</p>

<p>Custom Signage for Digital Applications</p>
<p>Custom signage is a concept that can be applied in small or large doses. In at least one sense, nearly every digital sign customer wants a customized system that sets their company or organization apart from the rest—anything that has the potential of delivering a competitive advantage. Maybe it&#8217;s the ability to control your signs from any Web-enabled device. Maybe it&#8217;s sleeker-looking frame for a sign board display. Maybe it&#8217;s screen saver software to go along with your desktop player. (more)</p>

<p>Web-Based Digital Signage Provides Quick User Access</p>
<p>Web-based digital signage is ideal for companies that want an easy way to manage their digital signs from multiple locations. It’s a good choice for companies that have large signage networks and also for companies that need to allow users in different locations to quickly change content and update sign schedules.

<p>Options for Digital Signage Content Creation</p>
<p>Organizations that are handling their own digital signage content creation will want to make sure that they have software that makes the task relatively easy. So first and foremost, they need to look for sign content creator software that’s user-friendly and that can be learned fairly quickly. The digital sign content software that’s easiest to learn and to use on a regular basis includes standard user interface design conventions, such as right click for menus and drag and drop capabilities.

<p>Digital Signage Products for Every Application</p>
<p>Take corporate offices. A company may use a digital signage product like a map and/or directory in its lobby, but how often does it include an interactive sign in the employee break room? In that location, a sign could be a source of information about company news and/or events taking place at that specific location as well as a training or education tool (flashing safety reminders or running short videos on the proper way to lift items, for example).

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Digital Signage Installation: Making the Process Easy</p>
<p>While it may seem that you should start the process looking at digital signage hardware, you might in fact, want to start by looking at your digital signage software options. The hardware is important, but over the long term it’s the software that will determine how easy it is to program and manage your digital signs. So if you want to have that digital signage installation go smoothly, take the time upfront to select the right digital signage software. (more)</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Sports Signage: Make a Play for Fans’ Attention</p>
<p>Arena and stadium owners can use sports signage to display highlights of the game or player stats, to replay controversial calls and rally fans during crucial moments of the game. But digital signage can also be used concurrently to sell products and services—anything from hot dogs and beer at the refreshment concession to trips on a cruise ship with key team players and managers. As fans glance at the screen to get another glimpse of a play or to see the reaction of a player to a bad call, they’ll also notice the advertisement for a new truck that’s running right alongside it.

<p>Digital Signage PowerPoint: Leverage Your Data</p>
<p>Putting together a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult, but creating a presentation that&#8217;s interesting, attractive, and informative can take hours of work. It&#8217;s worth the effort, but it can be discouraging to think you&#8217;ve spent all that time for something that&#8217;s only going to be seen once. (more)</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Exciting Possibilities for Handicap Signage</p>
<p>Signage can serve not only people with special needs but also those without physical impairments. All the information that a business or other organization wants to communicate can be incorporated into one attractive sign that appeals to users. Digital handicap signage is easy to update, which is not the case with traditional handicap signage. By investing in the kinds of signage that can serve all users, companies will save money over the long run. (more)</p>

<p>Choosing the Best Software for Your Signage Equipment</p>
<p>The purchase of digital signage equipment is an important investment for your company. Since it can be costly (depending on the number and type of digital signs that you&#8217;re installing) you&#8217;ll want to be sure you get the best return you can on that investment. It&#8217;s not just a matter of hardware, though. You&#8217;ll need to consider your choice of digital signage management software just as carefully as the signage equipment itself. The power of your digital signs will be enhanced or limited by the capabilities of the software package that controls it. (more)</p>

<p>Professional Signage Creates a Positive Image</p>
<p>Your organization probably spends countless hours considering its choice of logos, images, and other elements that help establish its identity. But how much time does it spend in selecting its professional signage? Just like stationery and business cards, the signage that a company selects should reflect the way that it wants to be perceived. Because of its flexibility, digital signage is an excellent way to reinforce a company&#8217;s branding goals. When companies choose digital signage, they&#8217;re opting for a medium that allows them to convey the most up-to-date information to their customers and the public. (more)</p>

<p>Choosing the Best Software for Your Signage Equipment</p>
<p>How do you plan to use your digital signage? Will you be using it to provide visitors with wayfinding assistance or information about speaker and room changes at a conference center? Will it have interactive elements, or be used only for display? How often will you want to update the signage? One of the benefits of digital signage is that it can be kept up-to-date with very little effort (more)</p>

Through the use of digital kiosks, you can provide customers with everything from wayfinding assistance to details about products and services you or your tenants offer. The software that you&#8217;re using for kiosk management has to be both easy to use and flexible enough to let you accomplish all your program goals (more)</p>

<p>Develop a Digital Display Strategy for Your Business</p>
<p>In both the modern marketplace and workplace, the digital display is becoming more and more ubiquitous. There are billboards, window signs, digital maps, ticketing kiosks, ATMs, running tickers, menu boards, payment kiosks, virtual hotel concierges, casino games, marquees, checkout kiosks, digital menus, information boards, taxi meters, digital directories, and many other types of digital displays. Implementation costs are coming down, but it&#8217;s the return on investment that&#8217;s starting to really catch people&#8217;s eyes. Between instant content changeovers and built-in flexibility of digital displays, more and more businesses are beginning to understand the impact they can have on the bottom line. Dingy menu boards that detract from a restaurant&#8217;s ambiance and static signs that limit promotional strategies simply don&#8217;t cut it anymore. As a business owner, manager, or executive, here&#8217;s what you need to know concerning digital displays. (more)</p>

<p>Advice on Choosing a Digital Signage Display</p>
<p>A digital signage display is the front-facing, visual component of a digital signage system. Typically, the format of digital signage is defined by the need: Older kiosks use modified computer monitors; billboards use large-format electronic signage. No matter the form, there are several common choices that must be made for a company or organization to effectively deploy these signs. Combined with the software package that you choose, these choices are likely to determine whether or not your new advertising campaign, branding strategy, or communications infrastructure is ultimately a success.(more)</p>

The advantages of digital sign displays are many. From illuminant, crystal-clear displays to easy content changeovers, digital display signage is quickly becoming the standard for how businesses deploy their advertising, brand their company to customers and clients, and communicate with their employees.

<p>Successfully Implementing Digital Kiosks</p>
<p>Kiosk used to be a term that used primarily to refer to vending machines, booths at the county and state fairs, lemonade stands, and other simple marketplace enclosures. Now, digital kiosks are usurping the term as these self-service stations continue to revolutionize the way companies and consumers do business. In fact, these kiosks aren&#8217;t just becoming available in more places they&#8217;re also starting to emerge as the preferred customer option. According to Networld Alliance&#8217;s 2009 Self-Service Consumer Survey, 90 percent of respondents choose these kiosks &#8220;sometimes, usually, or always&#8221; when given the option between these self-service devices and full-service provided by a person, including 47 percent who chose kiosks &#8220;usually or always,&#8221; a trend that&#8217;s quickly rising (more)</p>

<p>Choosing Kiosks Manufacturers</p>
<p>When choosing kiosks, manufacturers are too often at the top of the list of factors that companies consider.

<p>Display Signage. Understanding the Myths</p>
<p>Simply put, display signage is any sign which is primarily focused on a visual presentation and mode of communication. While some of these displays may employ text and verbal messaging, it generally does so only in an auxiliary capacity. What&#8217;s more, this choice to focus on visual presentation is usually a conscious choice. Too much text can overwhelm any sign, but there are other, substantive reasons to downplay or eliminate this text altogether. Understanding these reasons and how to effectively implement display signage is an important marketing component for many businesses and organizations. It&#8217;s also something that a business owner may already be doing and doing well without understanding exactly why or how. (more)</p>

<p>How to Design a Digital, Building Directory Display</p>
<p>In one sense, a directory display is simply a visual presentation of a specific dataset. Without a context, these directories most commonly refer to computer directory files. As a digital software company, we&#8217;ve spent years working with these types of computer program directories. Most of our clients, however, have a very different context for understanding these displays. In their respective businesses, a directory display is most likely to represent a layout and map legend of buildings, business locations, and campuses. If you own or manage an office park, shopping mall, school/university, museum, corporate office, casino, hotel/hotel resort, convention center/conference venue, or a stadium/coliseum, here&#8217;s what you need to know about digital signage technology and what it can mean for revolutionizing your current directory and display systems.

<p>Is it Time to Make the Switch to Digital Menus?</p>

What may, ultimately, cause the digital menus to catch on like wildfire, however, is new nutritional and display regulations embedded in the healthcare reform legislation. (more)</p>

<p>As implementation gradually ramps up across the country, digital menus are showing time and time again that they represent the future of the restaurant industry. Increased sales and a smaller staff often demonstrably prove their return-on-investment value, including other &#8220;soft&#8221; benefits such as better customer/employee satisfaction and operational efficiency.

<p>Menu Display Ideas.</p>
<p>A menu display is any presentation of your bill-of-fare including over-counter menu boards, window menu advertisements, table menu signs, easel-mounted displays in waiting areas, and wall-mounted displays along waiting lines. Restaurants with counter service may use a menu display as the primary presentation of their bill-of-fare.

<p>Choosing Menu Signs for Your Restaurant.</p>
<p>Most restaurants use menu signs in one form or another. Also known as menu boards, these signs can fulfill a number of purposes including 1) clearly displaying the bill-of-fare in an organized manner, 2) informing customers of prices, 3) menu item descriptions that can identify conflicts with a customer&#8217;s allergies, diet restrictions, and preferences, and 4) making your items appear as enticing as possible. Rarely does a restaurant find advantage in waiting till customers are seated before presenting some information about the menu. Yet, there are a number of different ways of approaching this preliminary menu presentation. Take a look at these ideas and what they can do for your restaurant. (more)</p>

<p>Innovations for Digital Signage Advertising.</p>
<p>As a savvy business owner or company executive, you&#8217;re probably aware of the connection between advertising and consumer demand on a macro-level. As consumers begin to open up their pocketbooks and spend again, businesses must use advertising campaigns to reach out to these emerging consumers. In their most recent Digital Year in Review, ComScore?an industry-leading source for digital marketing intelligence?put it this way: &#8220;The critical question is whether or not the economy will see sustained increases in consumer demand, which is necessary to drive continued growth in the digital advertising sector.&#8221; Needless to say, not all industries are seeing the same level of economic recovery. Some industries are even &#8220;recession-proof&#8221; with largely consistent consumer demand year-in and year-out. If your industry forecast sees an increase in revenues for the upcoming year, it&#8217;s important that you get your digital signage advertising in place early to position your company to capture a larger piece of this consumer spending increase.(more)</p>

<p>Touch Kiosk. More than Just ATM?s.</p>
<p>When the personal computer became a widespread cultural phenomenon, businesses and other organizations almost immediately recognized the potential of implementing this technology in the public marketplace. At the same time, obvious obstacles needed to be overcome for this technology to be effectively deployed. Cyber-security was a key element so users wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about their information becoming accessible to subsequent users. Hardware durability and construction was another issue as the general public was unlikely to take it easy on equipment they didn&#8217;t own; even something as fundamental as seating presented a problem.

<p>Electronic Signage. The Difference Between Electronic &amp; Digital.</p>
<p>Electronic signage is any type of sign?typically for the purposes of advertising, company branding, information broadcasting, or internal communication?that uses an illuminant media for its display. Fluorescent signs, LED signs, neon signs, and high intensity display (HID) signs are all types of electronic signage. Billboards which use top-lit lamps for illumination or back-lit menu boards common in many restaurants are not electronic signs. That said, there is also an important sub-category within electronic signage between illuminant signs that are, nevertheless, static in their presentation and those signs that allow for less permanent, modifiable content capabilities.(more)</p>

<p>Let Your Indoor Signage Leave a Lasting Impression.</p>
<p>Have you ever watched a kid in one of those museums that have interactive exhibits? They love to explore by pushing buttons and making choices. When children have stepped away from the museum exhibits, there are usually adults waiting to take their places. We never really outgrow that need to experience our environment through the sense of touch. So why not take advantage of that instinct when you&#8217;re planning your indoor signage program?.(more)</p>

<p>Kiosk Systems. Understanding the Folklore.</p>
<p>A kiosk can be any structure set apart and designated as serving a particular use. Booths at the state fair could be called a kiosk, so could the neighborhood ice cream truck, vending machine, and box office. Kiosk systems, however, generally connote a more advanced, often automated station. Digital screens boost the advertising and marketing value of the kiosk booths. Interactive capabilities eliminate the need for labor costs associated with manned stations.(more)</p>

<p>Digital outdoor advertising is second only to Internet ads as the fastest growing segment of advertising industry. And there&#8217;s plenty of slack to pick up from other, declining forms of advertising. Newspaper circulation is in the middle of a prolonged and, in all likelihood, permanent decline.

<p>Break Out of the Ordinary with a Kiosk Directory</p>
<p>As a rule, building directories are pretty boring. Think of the typical directory sign: small white letters on a black background, often difficult to read and usually even harder (or more time-consuming) to update.

For a playhouse or old-fashioned theater, it&#8217;s most likely the marquee and movie posters for upcoming show times. (more)</p>

<p>How to Design the Best Restaurant Menu Boards</p>
<p>Few things are so important to a restaurant&#8217;s overall success as the initial presentation of the menu. Not everybody who walks through the front door has made up his or her mind about whether or not to place an order. As such, well-designed restaurant menu boards are liable to be the difference between a new customer and lost revenue, between closing the doors and expanding to a new location. But how do you know whether you&#8217;re getting all you can from your menu boards?(more)</p>

<p>Tips and Strategies for Billboard Signage</p>
<p>As with most ad strategies that target a wide audience, billboard signage is a high-risk, high-reward proposition. Specifically, while billboards will be seen by thousands of people each day, the time you have to capture your audience&#8217;s attention is also foreshortened. On the other hand, billboard ads are also among the most cost-effective strategies you have at your disposal. Depending on the area, you might be able to buy a month-long ad campaign on a dozen or more billboards for the same price as a one-time, full-page news ad. (more)</p>
