With advancements in technology and rapid adoption of PropTech, LED digital boards, video walls and interactive kiosks have become more affordable and customizable, making them accessible to a wider range of businesses.

As a leader in building digital signage, TouchSource get many questions from building owners, facility managers and project teams looking to learn more about the benefits of digital displays. These conversations then go on to discuss customizability, types of content signs can display, and one of the most important points: How easy digital signage is to manage and update.

Here are the top five questions customers want to know about building digital signage:

1. What are the benefits of building digital signage?

Customers want to know how building digital signage can positively impact their business. Digital displays have many advantages, including enhancing customer experience, improving communication, increasing brand visibility, generating revenue through advertising, and creating a modern and engaging environment.

One of the main benefits of building digital signage is that it enhances customer experience. With digital directories and interactive maps, customers can easily find their way around the building and quickly locate the services or products they are looking for. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also reduces the workload of front desk staff.

Improving Communication

Building digital signage can also help improve communication by displaying important information such as emergency notifications, news updates, and weather forecasts. This information can be displayed in real-time, ensuring visitors have the most up-to-date information.

Ability to Generate ROI

Another benefit of building digital signage is the ability to generate revenue through advertising. With the ability to display advertisements, businesses can promote their products or services to a wider audience and generate additional revenue streams.
