As the name suggests, Digital Signage enables Screens (LCD, Plasma, TV, and Projector) to be installed within locations where the target audience can view the screens and the information that is being played on them.
Digital Signage can replace or enhance traditional printed signage and posters with the advantage of being updated from a central location at the press of a button. The ease and immediacy of updating Digital Signage content removes the numerous processes involved with printing, distributing and installing traditional printed material.
The ability to create date and time specific playlists of numerous types of media content including still images, animation, video and web pages make Digital Signage the perfect marketing tool for advertising products, promoting offers or distribution information to the viewers when you require and in an attractive and enticing way.
Digital Signage is being adopted by thousands of companies across many business sectors with each company benefiting from one or several of the advantages it offers, including:
* Brand reinforcement
* The promotion of products and special offers
* Corporate communication
* Staff training
* Generation of income from media advertising sales
