Interactive Digital Signage: Leverage The Novelty Of Cutting-Edge Technology
All our lives we’ve been blasted with meaningless advertisements and banners, and most people have learned to tune them out. People have grown numb to the traditional advertising mediums.
Does that mean that advertisement no longer works?
Of course not. But the new customer needs something more than a big billboard by the side of the road. They need something that engages them and gets their attention. The most cutting-edge advertising solution in this day and age is interactive digital signage.
Digital signs offer a lot over their traditional counterparts because they rely on bright, bold graphics, and moving pictures. Most importantly, people can walk up and interact using touch-screen technology.
Imagine the possibilities of a system like that.
People are walking by and they see this picture that is movingnow they’re paying attention—and upon further inspection, they find that they can move the screen or flip through options to find information they need.
The average person is going to be intrigued by this simply because of the novelty of itnow think about if that average person is also part of your target market. Chances are they are going to be absolutely captivated.
Will the novelty of digital signs wear off? Maybe if it stagnated, but the implications of what this can be used for mean it will continue to improve and more uses will be found. And by capitalizing on the novelty now, you can pave the way to the future, with your business in the leas.
One of my favorite capabilities of interactive digital signage, besides it being a revolutionary way to engage customers, is the fact that it puts the control completely in your hands as a business owner.
Your advertisement or campaign can be completely changed in an instant, and because many of the service providers keep the software web-based, any authorized users can change the content from any location with Internet access.
There are so many things you can do with these, and to imply they are only good for promotional purposes is simply not doing this tool justice. Provide information about your company and it’s different projects, put up biographies of key figures in your business, use it as a digital concierge for information purposes.
The uses go on and on.
This is the future, and like most new tools of the future, the best way to use them is get in their early and leverage them before the competition catches on.
