Remember in the early days of the ATM, they looked rather imposing with their dark mysterious looks, digital signage kiosks are viewed in the same light.
Which would you rather do, put your personal details into an intimidating and mysterious looking machine or completely pass them by to give the information to a smiling cashier? I know which I prefer!
Design issue was a major issue for consumer acceptance when the ATM’s were deployed, design is still an issue within the financial and self service industry.
Many projects are driven by software applications, but the Retail sector is driven by brand images, get this wrong and the brand suffers, every consumer experience has to be a positive one as a neutral experience can on occasions be classed as a negative one in Retail.
Public kiosks are used by a wide demographic range, from young people, handicapped people, old and different ethnic groups, now the point we are trying to make is that the kiosk has to appeal to everyone, so the vendor has to try to understand what the client is trying to achieve with the kiosk, then create a custom kiosk for them.
The Ultimate Solution.
There are many solutions for self serve kiosks, however we have discovered that the most successful kiosk deployments are the ones when they have designed around the client’s specific needs and design an experience around this.
Design options.
No, this department is not part of the sales arm of a business; it is a crucial to get the design right as it is to get the hardware and software right. Getting anyone of these wrong can result in disaster. You have to consider:
• Where will the unit be placed?
• Has it to be freestanding, easy access or wall mounted?
• Will it have to integrate with other shop fittings?
Another aspect is to plan the project efficiently, it is no good realising a kiosk is required for deployment in 2 weeks, this is an in-conceived project and destined for failure. The projects that are planned sometimes years in advance have a perfect solution by the time it is deployed.
Plan your work and work your plan, that is all we can say.

Digital Signage – Getting the content right
A BBQ restaurant that started in Pakistan in 1988 had a seating capacity for 150 guests, now due to its unique way it promotes its quality food, it is widely known in Karachi City and the restaurant now has a seating capacity for 1,500 guests!
The reason for this unprecedented growth is the restaurants extremely high reputation for quality food as well as providing a modern eating experience.
Prior to them installing digital signage, they experimented by installing LCD displays that run local cable television channels, unfortunately patrons were not impressed with the content and the deployment failed.
They analysed were the project failed and began to design an outdoor digital network, with the two prime aims:
1. To make it entertaining for the patrons
2. To generate revenue from brand advertising and inform patrons of the restaurants products and services.
The digital signage featured; featured dishes of the day, restaurant promotions, local news and weather an the restaurant services such as event catering and home delivery.
Learning from their initial mistakes, their planning paid off as the digital displays are located in the most perfect locations.
The first screen you see is above the desk when you go to check in for your table, this featured local news and the menu promotions for that day, this makes the waiting time seem less than it actually is, until they are seated.
The restaurant have been monitoring the revenue increase since the installation of the 20 digital signs and have noted an increase of 17.3% on promoted products to date.
The restaurant has tremendous potential with over 75,000 visitors per month used one of the most effective out of home, captive audience experiences available, proving that any restaurant or business can use digital signage, providing it is the right configuration.

Digital Signage & LCD enclosures - understanding the relationship.
As soon as digital signage solutions were installed outdoors, there was an immediate requirement for some sort of protection. As you can appreciate the delicate nature of an LCD display is not designed for outdoor use without some sort of protection.
This is were the LCD enclosure was born, as more companies realised that OOH advertising (Out Of Home) would increase brand awareness and therefore improve sales for the brand.
The outdoor digital signage enclosure protects from anyone vandalising the signage hardware when placed in un-manned areas. It also protects from dust and fluid, so it is ideal for outdoor use, protecting the internal hardware from rain, snow and sleet. The special viewing window also allows for the unit to be located in direct sunlight and the display can still be seen.
Can you imagine what would happen if you did not put the digital signage hardware into an LCD enclosure? How many times will you have to return to site to "check" if everything is OK? What would the costs be?

How to create a simple digital signage advertisement.
With the inevitable growth of the technology market, digital advertising is one of the fastest growing industries, with digital signage not being limited to indoor locations; you now see digital dynamic advertising outdoors, too.
Now there are several ways to display digital dynamic advertising and they are;
1. A single large advertisement filling the LCD screen
2. Multiple ads on screen simultaneously
Now the latter is the best for instant impact in digital signage, however with both solutions you can add RSS feeds for news channels or even live TV!
There are 2 simple ways to create media content, the first is using a digital signage poster, these are a small version of an LCD display, normally around 19 inches wide x 26 inches long and they have the facility to take a memory card, so it’s a case of drag and drop images of your products on to the memory card and insert the memory card into the poster, then hang the poster so customers can see it and see the increase in up sales!
The second way to create simple media content is to create a Powerpoint presentation for your product or service and then import that into the media software, this could be used on a digital signage network and this will allow you to get your loops (adverts) out to the entire network either locally or globally.
Once the content is created, you then select the locations in the digital signage network, load up the content you have created, create the loops (adverts you want to display), then schedule the loops throughout the network to displayed at the required time of day for maximum impact.
It would be little point advertising a restaurant directly after dinner time, however catch the eyes of hungry shoppers and the restaurant will fill quickly over the diner time period, now that is effective digital advertising!
If however you feel creating media content is laborious, you can outsource the media creation to us, as we charge as little at £49 per month. Or alternatively, contact our digital content creation team.
