Do You REALLY See Digital Signage Residual Revenue?

December 20, 2016 at 12:08 PM / by Jake Berg posted in General, Digital Signage, Promotional, Video Content Marketing

Repeatedly, I see articles about the increased “residual revenue” as a direct result of a digital signage installation and it causes me consternation. Why you might ask, because the digital signage (hardware) is merely a vehicle for the message.  Big AV installation companies can mislead customers to assume that installing digital displays will automatically increase revenue.  Wrong!  Think of it this way: during the Super Bowl, companies have the ability to purchase “space” for commercials to be seen.  If this purchased space does not have a compelling message and call-to-action, the commercial falls flat.  The message is not remembered by the viewer and it does not increase revenue for the company.  These Super Bowl advertisers need to create entertaining commercials that will grab the attention of the viewer.

Yes, it is repeatedly proven that having and using digital signage is advantageous for a business.  If you are a business that has made the move to digital displays, I would like to commend you for making the change that will pay off in high dividends.  Getting to those high returns on your investment takes a little insight and effort.  Our founder observed this first hand during one of his first digital signage installations almost two decades ago, which inevitably led him to starting a content creation division within Specialized Productions, Inc.   The content creation division, Render Impact, focuses on creating motion graphics and animated content for digital signage displays and other digital media formats.
