The digital bulletin board: rediscovering the tried and true
For several centuries, people have been using the "bulletin board" to exchange information and stimulate discussions: hardly any company, authority, association... can do without it. With a digital bulletin board, you can optimize and expand this proven concept. Find out here what is possible and what advantages a digital bulletin board offers.
Everything at a glance: The advantages of a digital bulletin board
There is a reason why bulletin boards can be found in so many places. They are extremely useful and in many cases even essential for smooth everyday business. Originally, they were actually black-painted boards that were placed in inns. Here, the staff could write down the bills of the respective guests with chalk. Much has changed since then.
The bulletin board: a proven communication tool
A digital info board extends the idea of the bulletin board without changing anything about its merits. This is especially important. Because the traditional infoboard definitely falls into the "simple and ingenious" category. This means that anyone who would change anything about the basic concept would be doomed to failure.
It goes without saying that a bulletin board is ideal for sharing information. People can discover lots of important (and unimportant) things there. Unlike a meeting, a phone call or an information session, however, such an information board is accessible at any time. The recipients simply drop by at the time that suits them. This flexibility is an important cornerstone for the success of the concept, which can be further enhanced by the use of a digital bulletin board. After all, digital infoboards offer this freedom not only in terms of time, but also in terms of the desired content.
What are the arguments for using a digital info board?
The term "digital signage" has long since become an important buzzword for anyone who wants to convey information. This is because a digital signage solution offers space for more information and better presentation than the classic bulletin board: graphics, videos and suitable animations automatically attract attention. At the same time, a digital info board helps you to get your message across to the right people. It is also possible to switch between different views and interact with the digital bulletin board via a touch screen. In this way, direct feedback or an active search for information is also possible. There is even room for special information boards that only interest a smaller audience, without scaring away other readers.
Thus, a digital bulletin board provides more clarity. After all, dozens of pieces of paper would be necessary to keep up with analog here. In addition, the contents of your digital info board can be controlled by software and updated as needed. This expands your options and saves you time and effort. A digital bulletin board therefore offers several advantages:
- More information in a small space - no more confusing "paperwork".
- Different formats (text, videos, graphics,...)
- Possibility of interaction: users can swipe, search, give feedback or interact with the digital bulletin board in other ways.
- Centralized control of multiple digital infoboards saves time and effort.
- Possible pre-planning of content provides additional flexibility.
Possible applications of digital infoboards
Many people first think of the blackboard at the entrance to a supermarket when they hear the term "bulletin board". These boards are usually used to exchange information: Whether it's used winter tires or Latin tutoring - everyone can find what they're looking for here. In fact, a digital bulletin board can also be used for this purpose. However, the possible applications go much further.
For the first time since its invention, it is now possible to make an info board really visually appealing. This opens up completely new fields of application for digital bulletin boards: With a so-called hotel display, for example, hotels can already convince their guests at check-in. Attractive information about the additional offers helps, for example, to attract additional visitors to the spa area or to sell services.
The use of digital info boards also works wonders in retail: digital signage in retail offers completely new ways of promoting sales and guiding customers. Small screens in tables and sales counters or large, interactive advertising banners create measurable added value. Digital bulletin boards can thus inspire or, in combination with additional offers (branded apps, beacons ...), provide a digital shopping experience.
The "bulletin board" goes digital: Digital infoboards in companies
Larger companies with many employees in particular can benefit from the advantages of a digital bulletin board.
Getting a grip on information overload: With digital signage
With a digital bulletin board, even a large amount of information can be clearly displayed. This makes a digital bulletin board ideal for internal communication in companies, government agencies and other public institutions. There are also other implementation options available:
- Welcome messages
- Daily events
- Site pictures
- Special events
- Employee schedules
- Daily goals tracking
- Current project status
- Social media posts
- Fun facts
- and much more.
Particularly important information, for example on safety-related topics, can be highlighted using animations or videos.
More flexibility - through a digital bulletin board
Digital bulletin boards are particularly convincing in terms of flexibility in day-to-day business. Because the amount of information you can store there is almost unlimited. The possibility of interaction and the central administration via cloud software nevertheless provide the necessary clarity.
digitalSIGNAGE.de brings innovation and flexibility to your corporate office: Our digital bulletin board offers management and update functions via remote control as well as easy and cost-efficient installation with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet). All of our devices are built to last, feature self-cooling mechanisms, and offer the ability to schedule screen times remotely. The screen can be split to display multiple types of information simultaneously.
The right information - in the right place
The digital bulletin board in the entrance area should, of course, contain a site plan in a clearly visible location. The invitation to the Christmas party, on the other hand, is less important for your external guests and is accordingly displayed less frequently in the foyer. Inside the building, on the other hand, the site plan can be accessed, somewhat hidden, via a touch function. Here, announcements from the works council or current, area-related key figures are more important. Room allocation can also be digitized and the booking of meeting areas simplified.
Thanks to central administration, it is possible to provide all info boards with the appropriate information. The digital bulletin board thus becomes an indispensable tool for corporate communications.
