10/10/2022

In stores, businesses or in public spaces, digital signage is the new communication tool that captivates the public. To promote collaboration in workspaces, provide information outside or respond to new consumer habits in points of sale, digital signage is the channel that meets the engagement, timeliness and personalization needs of businesses and audiences. Discover the advantages of opting for digital signage for the distribution of multimedia content.

Technology accessible to all

Unlike traditional static signage, which requires the assistance of a professional graphic designer for its design, dynamic signage does not require the intervention of an expert. The uninitiated can create powerful visuals very quickly, thanks to dedicated management software that is easy to learn and intuitive.

Digital signage is a democratic medium within everyone's reach, which facilitates and accelerates the work of communicators in creating, customizing and updating the content to be broadcast. Digital signage management platforms also offer frames useful for creating content, which can be customized in order to respect its graphic charter.

 

Great freedom in sharing information

Reduced to its physical surface, static display is limited in its ability to express itself. On the contrary, digital signage is a dynamic and unlimited space of expression that adapts to its content. It allows you to broadcast a wide variety of multimedia content (photos, videos, graphics, RSS feeds, social wall, etc.) on many types of screens indoors or outdoors.

Periodicity and recurrence, the user has control over the methods of distribution of each content, according to various parameters that he will have determined. A message can be modified in real time, for an unprecedented degree of relevance in its communication and a tailor-made adaptation to the expectations of its audience.

 

Instantaneity that leads to relevance

Traditional static signage requires a phase of design, production, production, printing, delivery and installation on the support. Digital signage eliminates these steps and saves a considerable amount of time. Businesses upload or update their content online from a PC, tablet or smartphone, remotely and in real time.

Digital signage meets the need for timeliness in updating information, in order to meet consumer requirements and employee needs. Thus, companies adapt quickly to constraints and current events, to always remain extremely relevant in their communication with content adapted to the context and the environment.

 

A way to connect with your audience

Consumer habits have radically changed, forcing businesses to adopt new ways to communicate with customers. At points of sale, digital signage is an ideal medium for interacting with them. In particular, touch terminals allow you to place an order, consult a catalog or view advice content relating to products.

In business, it is an ideal partner for developing internal communication. It increases the scope of information (internal regulations, safety rules, results, etc.) for all employees on site, in the field or working from home. It is also intended to be engaging, to make its employees aware of the values, approaches, projects and news of the company.

 

An attractive medium that facilitates memorization

Digital signage is a captivating way of communication, much more so than traditional static signage. Its strong power of attraction manages to hold the attention of the public and increases the memorization of the messages broadcast tenfold. Thanks to movement in the presentation of multimedia content, it improves the readability of communications and promotes their understanding.

Brightness, sound effects and the immersive and spectacular dimension are factors that contribute to the remarkable effectiveness of digital signage in the battle for attention. A company that deploys its campaigns via digital signage ensures that it maximizes the impact and engagement that its content generates.

 

An innovation marker that enhances brand image

Statistical display focuses on shock through words or images in a greatly reduced space to capture attention. The digital signage, on the other hand, plunges the visitor into the world of the brand. Very immersive, it allows much more information, sensations and feelings to be conveyed: brands can communicate their profound vision and their mentality.

Its very use allows the company to promote its identity, values, products and services to the public. Digital signage contributes to the development of a strong, innovative and attractive brand image. It has the power to create an emotional connection with the viewer, to strengthen their trust in the brand.
