Digital signage refers to a method of advertising that aims at
targeting a large number of prospective customers at the same time. It
is a kind of out of home advertising. It is used for advertising a
particular product or service or for conveying any information to large
number of people at the same time. Each one of us has seen a digital
sign or even used the information provided by it at some point of time
or the other for instance the basic ones used at airports or railway
stations for conveying information regarding flights or train arrivals
and departures or as an advertisement of a particular product or
service. Digital signage is also known by other names such as captive
audience networks (CANs), digital merchandising, narrowcast networks
and the like.
Digital signage uses written text, images, animations and even videos
so as to make the advertisement more appealing and interesting to the
target audience. It has found use at several places like big shopping
malls, airports, railway stations, financial institutions, restaurants,
important traffic junctions and the like.
Digital signs used could be in the form of tickers, LCD or plasma
displays, electronic boards and the like. The content on an electronic
display or digital sign could be changed from time to time using a
computer locally or even using the internet. Using the internet you
could control displays at different locations at the same time from one
central location making it very effective in terms of both effort and
cost.
Digital signage is a media of advertising that is advantageous to the
information provider or the business as it provides tremendous
flexibility and has proven cost effective as well. The content can be
changed from time to time and thus, the prospective customer has access
to current data.
In the recent times, digital signage is becoming very popular
especially with the LCD and plasma displays getting cheaper. Digital
signage offers tremendous flexibility and has proved to be a cost
effective method used in advertising. Digital signage has proved useful
in conveying important information to a large target audience in one go
and is thus, used in conveying important information, for brand
building and advertising of products and services.
Digital signage with its attractive display and changing content is
able to draw the attention of the prospective customer and with the
advantage of location (digital signs are put up at vital locations
attracting the attention of a large number of people) it works out to
be an easy and effective mode of communication for the business and a
profitable means of advertising.
With technology becoming more accessible both physically and in terms
of cost digital signage has now become an option affordable to even
small businesses. Digital signage is getting popular by the day and is
going to assume greater importance in the times to come.
