The digital bulletin board: rediscovering the tried and tested

(Hamburg, 03.04.2023) For several centuries, people have been using the "notice board" to exchange information and stimulate discussions: hardly any company, authority, association... can do without one. With a digital infoboard, you can optimise and expand this proven concept. Find out here what is possible and what advantages a digital noticeboard offers.

Everything at a glance: The advantages of a digital noticeboard

It is not without reason that bulletin boards can be found in so many places. They are extremely useful and in many cases even indispensable 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 notice board: a proven communication tool

A digital info board expands the idea of the notice board without changing anything about its merits. This is particularly important. Because the traditional info board definitely falls into the category of "simple and ingenious". This means that anyone who would change anything about the basic concept would be doomed to failure.

It goes without saying that a noticeboard is ideal for passing on information. People can discover all kinds of important (and unimportant) things there. Unlike a meeting, a phone call or an information session, however, such an information board is accessible at all times. 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 noticeboard. Because digital info boards offer this freedom not only in terms of time, but also in terms of the desired content.

What are the arguments in favour of 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 a better presentation than the classic notice 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 notice 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 are only of interest to a smaller audience, without scaring away other readers.

Thus, a digital noticeboard provides more clarity. After all, dozens of notice boards would be necessary to keep up in analogue form. In addition, the contents of your digital bulletin board can be controlled by software and updated as needed. This expands your possibilities and saves you time and work. A digital notice board therefore offers several advantages:

[*] More information in a small space - no more confusing "paper chaos".
[Different formats (text, videos, graphics,...)
[*] Possibility of interaction: users can swipe, search, give feedback or interact with the digital noticeboard in other ways.
[*] Central control of several digital infoboards saves time and effort.
[*] Possible pre-planning of content provides additional flexibility.

Possible uses of digital infoboards

Many people first think of the blackboard at the entrance of a supermarket when they hear the term "noticeboard". These boards are usually used for the exchange of information: whether it's used winter tyres or Latin tutoring - everyone can find what they're looking for here. In fact, a digital noticeboard 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 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 types of sales promotion and customer guidance. 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 info boards in companies

Especially larger companies with many employees can benefit from the advantages of a digital noticeboard.

Easily get a grip on information overload: With digital signage

With a digital noticeboard, even a large amount of information can be clearly presented, making it ideal for internal communication in companies, public authorities and other public institutions. There are also other implementation options available:

• Welcome messages
• Daily events
• Site pictures
• Special events
• Staff schedules
• Tracking of daily goals
• Current project status
• Social media posts
• Fun facts
• and much more.

Particularly important information, for example on safety-related topics, can be highlighted with animations or videos.

More flexibility - through a digital notice board

Digital bulletin boards are particularly convincing in terms of flexibility in everyday business life. Because the amount of information you can deposit 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 company office: Our digital noticeboard offers management and update functions via remote control as well as simple and cost-efficient installation with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet). All our units are built to last, with self-cooling mechanisms and the ability to schedule screen time remotely. The screen can be split to display multiple types of information simultaneously.

The right information - in the right place

The digital notice 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 digitalised and the booking of meeting areas simplified.

Thanks to the central administration, it is possible to provide all info boards with the appropriate information. The digital notice board thus becomes an indispensable tool for corporate communication.
