Digital signage content is the content you show on your displays. It is the heart of your display communication.
You can invest in the best, most expensive displays, but without excellent digital signage content they are worthless.
Read more below about what content is precisely and how you can use digital signage content on your displays.
Content is a term used frequently by IT, communication and marketing specialists.
By content, they mean texts, photos, videos and any other form of audiovisual content or message that can be disseminated via an online or offline medium.
A blog post on your website is content! An infographic in the newspaper is content! A video clip on your Facebook page is… yes again, content!
Like a newspaper or website, digital signage is a medium through which you can disseminate content. You can show different sorts of digital signage content (or narrowcasting content), depending on the displays you use:
Depending on your company or organisation, you will use digital signage in different situations and for different purposes. The digital signage content you use must therefore be adapted for the purpose at hand.
Digital signage content for commercial videos will be different from content intended only to create atmosphere. And informative digital signage content will need to meet other criteria.
How frequently must the digital signage content on your displays change? Do you need to be able to communicate in real time, such as through a warning system or at a sporting event? These and other questions will help you decide what your digital signage content should look like.
Whether you use your displays to inform, attract attention or start a dialogue with customers, content is the fuel for your digital signage.
Indeed, good digital signage content is of inestimable value. Make sure the messages you disseminate are clear and attractive, so that they grab and hold the attention of visitors and customers.
A study by Microsoft showed that digitisation had caused the average human attention span to fall from 12 seconds in 2002 to 8 seconds in 2015. We know from our own research that attention to digital signage content is often even shorter.
Does this mean that digital signage is not an attractive medium? By no means! Light and movement capture our attention much more than posters or other analogue media.
But if you want your message to be viewed, you must ensure that it is immediately clear.
