In light of October being a rather scary month, we thought we would highlight 31 reasons not to be afraid of digital signage. We hope you enjoy them.
Reason #27: Screen placement
42" digital signage screens, check.
Awesome, eye-catching content, check.
Training, check.
Now please make sure you put your screen where your audience can see it! I know..."the CAT 5 line only reaches so far" or "if I put it here, my WiFi network can't reach it and provide connectivity." Poppycock, MediaTile boasts the benefits of a cellular connection per media player and that means all you need is power. Your audience moves, the floor plan changes, you need to send a digital signage panel to an event - just provide power and your MediaCast supported screen will deliver the right digital message, to the right people, at the right time.
Screen placement can also be effected by what type of content you put on your screens. If your content is more aligned with traditional digital signage - rotating Jpegs or repeating MPegs videos - then keeping your screen higher than eye-level is fine. However, if you have or may start to use touch screen interactive content, then you screen needs to come down on the wall so your audience can easily touch to navigate appropriately.
Lastly, if you can't decide, then ask. Onsite visits are the norm in digital signage industry. Whomever your provider is they should be able to advise you on where to place your screens to maximize impact and ROI.
