Where can Digital Signage be Installed?
Choosing where to install your digital signage can be a daunting task, but the decision can be made easier by answering a few simple questions. Here are the factors you should consider when deciding an installation location:
- Should my display be indoor or outdoor? Indoor digital signage and outdoor digital signage have different specifications and require different care and maintenance. Additionally, if you plan to keep your screens outdoor 24/7, security should be a consideration as well.
- How high traffic is my location? Choosing a location with high customer traffic helps maximize the number of people who will see your screens.
- Do I have access to power nearby? Ideally you should have access to electricity directly behind your install location, or should plan to install a new outlet with your screens. While this is not necessary, it helps eliminate unnecessary wires and ensures an aesthetic looking display.
What if I have a Problem with my Digital Signage?
Once the installation of your electronic displays is complete, you will find that it requires very little maintenance. In the event you do need maintenance on your screens or signage hardware, then your provider will often be happy to help you resolve any issues. While most technical support can usually be resolved over the phone, sometimes an on site visit may also be warranted.
What is the Most Common Size of Digital Screen?
The most common screen size varies depending on industry as well as usage. For example, for digital menu boards many restaurants decide to go with 43″ screens in portrait or landscape orientation; bars, however, may choose to go one with extremely large screen that can convert to a tv for sporting events.
