Digital signage mistake 1<\/h2>

\"show<\/p>

Curious hands and the wrong location. <\/strong>
A classic mistake. You spend a fortune on hardware, start running it, then comes the moment you discover that your screens are slowly melting because they\u2019re not resistant to the heat of your shop window. Or your media player slowly grinds to a halt under the moisture and dust found in your electric cupboard. Equally deadly are children’s fingerprints. Curious fingers are lethal to your media player and disastrous for your cables. So make sure that everything is neatly concealed.<\/p>

Digital signage mistake 2<\/h2>

Eye to eye at cruising altitude. <\/strong>
Digital signage is all about seeing and being seen. So treat your screen like the Mona Lisa: hang it at painting height. Choose a central location where everyone can see and admire it. It sounds simple, but don\u2019t then end up putting a screen at the correct viewing height only for it to be hidden behind a pile of old boxes. When you place your screens carefully, you also ensure you achieve the maximum reach. Do you want to use digital signage in a crowded place? Then don\u2019t mess around with screens but instead choose to install a video wall. The size and clarity alone will attract attention. It generates a big impact – and impact equals stopping power. In short, think before you place a screen.<\/p>

Content that no one is waiting for. <\/strong>
This is a killer: wrong content, wrong place, wrong time. It\u2019s like telling vegetarians about your pork sausages. It’s the same with digital signage: if your story isn\u2019t relevant to your audience, then nothing happens. Not now, not ever. Good content is communicating in a way your target audience finds interesting. You can see that with digital signage. Make a plan and make sure that it meets the needs of your audience.<\/p>

Digital signage mistake 4<\/h2>

\"digital<\/p>

A<\/strong> program that doesn\u2019t run<\/strong>
Digital signage provides you with a powerful medium in the palm of your hand. With the right software, you can put together a really good program in no time at all. You\u2019d think that you can\u2019t go wrong, yet we all too often see playlists that really don\u2019t work. A total waste and totally unnecessary if you pay attention to the following points when you put a program together:<\/p>
