Automated Digital Signage – Set It and Forget It
EPISODE 47 | Guest: Jill Perardi, director of professional services, Visix, Inc.
Digital signage doesn’t have to be a lot of work. Any good content management software will let you pull in feeds and data from other sources like calendar apps, websites, news sources and more. Even tools like Microsoft Excel can be used to manage information off screen, and that data will update all on its own once it’s embedded in your message or layout.
With automated digital signage content, you can set it up once and just let it run. You’ll not only guarantee that you’ll always have fresh, relevant content for your audience, you’ll free up your time to concentrate on more specific, time-sensitive campaigns.
In this episode, we’ll continue our tips on auto-updating content, and expand on some new sources and ideas that can save digital signage managers time while attracting and engaging more viewers.
- Learn how automation benefits both digital signage managers and viewers
- Understand how attractors can increase engagement with all of your content
- Explore data-fed solutions like event boards, menu boards and directories
- Get tips on how to set up social media, countdowns and countups
- Consider content subscriptions, news-in-pictures and signage kits

And it’s not just health and safety – digital signs can increase engagement with motivational messages, calls to action and realtime metrics on screens.

Why Customer Experience Is the New Buzzword
EPISODE 36 | Guest: Sean Matthews, president & CEO, Visix, Inc.
Customer experience, consumer experience – it’s all about the impression you make on your audience. As people become used to always having touchscreens with them and around them, it becomes more and more important for organizations to offer information in a familiar way.

Instead of simply replacing posters with screens, you need to maximize and personalize your digital signs and their content to match viewer expectations.

8 Scalable Features of an Enterprise CMS
EPISODE 32 | Guest: Sean Matthews, president and CEO, Visix, Inc.
One of the main advantages to having enterprise-level digital signage is scalability. Not just in terms of the size of the deployment (number of displays and media players, locations or even geographical areas) but also in terms of features.

In this podcast, we take a deep dive into eight features can scale in an enterprise-level deployment, and talk about the advantages and practical applications of each one.
- Design toolkits allow custom branding versus using restrictive templates

Image Tips for Digital Signs
EPISODE 27 | Guest: Jill Perardi - creative services manager, Visix, Inc.
Though digital signage content usually includes text, it’s a visual medium and pictures can make or break a message’s effectiveness. A picture’s worth a thousand words and all that. But there’s a lot more to consider than just throwing up a picture you found on the web. Where you get the picture, the quality and resolution, having good contrast and placement are just some of things to keep in mind.
And the term “visual” isn’t limited to photographs. You can use video, GIFs and cinemagraphs. Icons can help make things clearer to audiences of all backgrounds. Should you use PDFs or clipart? Can you ask your audience for images to use?
This podcast gives you image tips for digital signs, and looks at the ins and outs of using visuals in your messages to make them stand out and have impact.
- Learn best practices for using images on digital signs
- Understand legal restrictions and licensing rights
- Consider when to use PDFs and clipart, and when not to
