Wondering what you can classify as digital signage? Actually, you can’t drive down the road, walk into a restaurant, head to an airport or even visit a school without seeing digital signage. Because it’s all around us, the name is a catch-all for all kinds of different technology being used in lots of different ways for different digital signage purposes. Digital signage displays are used for the relaying of any number of types of information. Such as the news, live weather, menus, flights, calendars or advertisements for example.

Combine entertainment and video

Signage is used to share content that keeps the viewer engaged and entertained. The hospitality industry for example will use digital signage to share live television broadcasts, such as sporting events, as well as special offers. Other businesses, such as dental offices or a town hall, use signage to display content such as news broadcasts or television programs to help waiting customers pass time between services.

Reach audience with audio and visual 

Many organizations and businesses use displays and audio equipment for internal meetings, training, and daily communications with their employees and clients. Digital signage is also used in larger external settings, such as university lecture halls and classrooms, museums, zoos and other venues.

Present persuasive and guiding directions

Signage provides information to the user such as directions, schedules, important updates, and special offers.
