PLAYLIST
A playlist of your Gym enables a schedule ( or prioritisation) of the different types of exercices which the digital screen will play one by one for your customers. Hence, you may first wish to showcase Yoga and then the Zumba followed by Weight Training exercises at select or repeated intervals, and the digital screen will showcase the same to your customers.
Menu boards generally project a dynamic business. For a Gymnasium, pricing offers, discounts or loyalty programmes may form a part of its digital advertising from time to time. Digital signage software helps you to do the needful. If , for example, you are away on holiday with your family, you can monitor or update your digital screen by use of your computer only. You need not be present on the gym premises.
Manage multiple locations
Another marvel of digital signage software. Multi-location menu boards of gymnasiums or fitness centres can be monitored by a single admin system . Assuming that you have done the modifications on the template saved in your computer, the single admin system updates the incremental change and uploads the same onto the display screen. Infact, Sign Menu’s “cloud based programme’ enables you to monitor & manage your multi-location digital screens of your gyms since it is not possible for you to be present in all your business premises concurrently.

The use of a media player becomes optional as the URL’s stored in your computer can light up the signage screen after sun-down.
Run without internet access
Digital signage technology entails essentially a computer and a digital screen. If for any reason the internet service blanks out temporarily, the digital screen will keep running and can be monitored by the computer. Alternatively, a pen drive or a memory stick can also light up the digital screen with as much glittering effect.

Today, digital signage is ubiquitous. The glittering digital menu boards literally add effervescence to the illumination within the restaurants’ premises and beyond. And the challenge to surprise the potential customer never ceases.
For the
restaurateur though, at the end of the day, it’s all about sales. About
bottomlines. About survival. And digital menu boards, when they first arrived,
were a means to these ends. Subsequently, when these scintillating digital menu
screens began to make an impact, there was a need to position and differentiate
each business further in order to make way further progress. Else, how would
Harry’s Burgers bring in more customers than Tom’s Burgers, with both
restaurants serving the same locality within the same city ?
There upon,
enters the video age to bring up the next level in digital signage. An audio-visual
film with dynamic images of the savory food menu began to be perceived as the
ultimate way to entice customers by evoking their taste buds with appetizing
visuals.
Of course,
technology has helped. And evolved. In an effort to attract more attention and
increase effectiveness, venders of digital signage have rapidly enhanced
features and capabilities for these displays. For example, displays have moved
from simple 2d screens to 3d auto-stereoscopic screens, screens featuring
multimodal forms of interaction are replacing static displays, and display-only
screens are being replaced by displays capable of recognizing user
characteristics. The dynamic digital menu board today combines digital signage
with the power of video.
Consumers, however, might be experiencing information overload characterized by exhibiting signs of display blindness, messaging fatigue and less optimal decision making.
Previous studies have shown that the use of video in digital signage can capture attention. Recent studies have examined how the use of video food ads in digital menu boards can influence more healthful eating choices. Methods included laboratory studies, eye-tracking studies and field studies where the effects of rotating images of healthful and less healthful food dishes were compared.
An Illustration : More Healthful Foods Vs Less Healthful foods
More healthful
Baked potatoes/Chicken Pizza/Grilled Chicken/Garden Salad/Grilled Chicken Sandwich/ Raw vegetables with baby carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower.
Less Healthful
French Fries/ Chicken Pepperoni pizza/Breaded Chicken/Breaded Chicken sandwich/Garden salad with Cheese and ranch dressing/ Raw vegetables with ranch dip.
With both sets of foods being similar, the restaurateur would have to make a judicious decision as to which food items to display in a video and which would bring in more sales.
Other Video Illustrations
Khazina Food Chain : In one outlet as many as six digital menu boards have been placed on the wall inside the restaurant. The video menu boards were dislayed in such a way as to display dynamic images alternately in all the six menu boards. The dynamic images displayed different items as in pizzas, curries, burgers, chicken kebabs, wraps, fried chicken and much more.
Burger king, the fast food giant, has strategically placed its videos at drive-through points within its restaurant premises, wherein the brightly light, intrusive messages were hard to miss. The restaurant found that they could actually increase sales by almost 40%
McDonalds’ also has multiple digital screens strategically placed on the wall inside most of their premises. They have at least 4-5 screens adorning their walls. Each of these screens displays food items which are ready on the stocks real-time, that is, the up-sells.Customers who came in waste no time in ordering from the same and get the food items fresh. Ice creams, wraps, chicken, burgers and many others are appetizingly displayed on a video. Studies reveal that they are more into promoting their combo offers and pairings.
One of the most illustrious digital signage displays has perhaps been manifested in the sports arena. Signs outside the stadium would announce this week’s matchups. Once the fan passes through the entrance,the way-finding digital boards guide him towards his seat, the concession stands, the restroom, cafeteria and guest services.
Further, when the fan
is comfortably settled in his seat , the digital screens keeps him abreast of
the action on the field,entertaining him with details of the participants : of
their family, interests, hobbies and social work, along with their performance
on the field.
There are two ways to upload video on SignMenu. Anyone can upload upto an 100MB video file at a time.
Background video Video background bring digital menu boards to life. They have a compelling impact. The steam billowing from a cup of coffee, cheese melting in a toasted sandwich, a barbecue in process – SignMenu enables videos to be displayed in the background of your menu boards to entice and allure the attention of your customers as they make their choice.
Video within content A video can be placed anywhere or in any size within a menu board. Conceiving a creative design is not a deterrent for using a video into any menu board.
With options of visual and audio-visual presentations, you can present your Hotel’s logo, brand name & offerings on the digital screen effectively.

With more and more companies converging into the digital signage bandwagon, it becomes obvious that this puts pressure on the hardware and software technologists to innovate and come up with more economical and more user-friendly systems.
We have seen that the computer as a stand-alone device can deliver digital sjgnage content.
It is usually the needs of the business that determine the investment. In this regard, most businesses face a challenge when they estimate ROI and speculate on the bottomline.
However, it is expected that the current hardware devices will take digital signage to the next level. In the usage of digital signage most businesses quite naturally aim to lower costs while delivering the best visual content.
Currently, the computer, the media player and the digital screen or a Tv involves a cost , and the prices of each may vary significantly. In most cases businesses have at least one or more of these hardware already in use with them, although the sustainance and the optimum allocation of resources remain a challenge.
THE FUTURE
Artificial Intelligence will decide what and where to display on a digital screen
Data will be the core and the data processing will make the difference
Content will remain king
Digital signage is the most effective way to tie together people from diferent walks of life into a community, where-in they will have access to an abundance of infomation easily and quickly. This will further fine-tune customer profiling based on psychographics, and product offers catering to each profile. For example, in a quick service restaurant, a customer will be offered food or beverages choices based on data on his health and diet goals. This will allow for quicker customer choices and more efficiency in catering.
The rate of technological changes is faster than ever. Each year now brings fresh innovations in components or upgrades new ones. And competition between hardware vendors drives prices down, eventually benefitting the end-user. Hence, prices of LED screens, Media Players and computers as with computer peripherals are becoming cheaper by the day.
Software made easier to facilitate the following benefits
Cloud based Programmes ; Where-in restaurants, fast food chains, Salons, Spas, Gyms, Car repair garages can update content on the digital screen by remote control
Multi-store locations can be monitored by a single admin ie, the computer.
Enables Incoming and outgoing customer traffic management and in-store coordination
The digital screen can continue running content even if the internet connection blanks out. The URS’s stored in the computer facilitates this benefit.
