Disipar los mitos de la señalización digital: eliminar las principales 3 barreras para la entrada al mercado

Jun 20, 2012

La señalización digital puede aportar muchos beneficios a su negocio. No obstante, para las empresas pequeñas y medianas que conocen poco acerca de implementar una estrategia eficaz de señalización digital, puede parecer una solución complicada y costosa. Para disipar algunos de los mitos sobre la implementación de la solución de señalización, hemos elaborado esta guía para ayudar a las empresas a hacer la transición a un entorno más digital:

Myth 1: The System Will Be Complex: Installing a dynamic digital signage system doesn’t have to be complex. Content files can either be manually loaded or connected via a LAN (network) connection utilizing a media player for a multiple display environment. Or you can upload files you’d like to display using a mobile storage device, such as a USB thumb drive plugged into the media player. Many commercial displays also feature built-in USB ports, making it easy to transfer content or play photo slideshows directly from a USB drive.

Myth 2: I Can’t Build The Content: Fear of the unknown may be holding you back. If you can create a PowerPoint slide or build a playlist of your favorite audio files, you have the necessary skills for operating a digital signage system. With today’s easy-to-use software programs like our Signage Manager Express, delivering digital media content can be simple. Look for a program that offers Windows compatibility so it will easily run on your PC or laptop. Also look for software that comes with pre-made templates with multiple screen zones. Templates make it easy to build your content, and different screen zones allow you to display different types of content at the same time – for example, to upsell offerings by advertising companion products.

Myth 3: It’s Too Expensive: The cost of installing a dynamic digital signage solution is surprisingly low. The return on your investment can be easily justified, especially if you have been printing backlit signs. Depending on the environment, you can utilize cost effective monitors, commercial TVs or full commercial displays. Screen sizes can range from 10” to 65” or larger. A high performance, network capable, full HD display with video media player can be attained for under $500. In some cases, media players come bundled with the necessary software offering users a complete turn-key solution.
