But not just any digital signage.

This isn’t startling news. Dealerships have been incorporating digital signage in their dealerships for some time now. Frankly, if your dealership is still using traditional POP and posters, it’s definitely time to make the switch. Changing to digital signage means creating new interactive experiences and engaging your target audiences in a more flexible and cost-effective way.

So many benefits

There are a long list of benefits that installing digital signage can bring. The most obvious is aesthetically, digital signage will instantly update and modernize your facility. And placing screens in strategic areas will engage your customers from the moment they walk into your dealership. Some other not so obvious benefits are:

• the cost savings — no more printing costs for posters and signs for every new promotion or sales event;
• the environmental aspect — just think of all the paper and the inks that won’t be consumed and disposed of;
• and the immediacy and flexibility — your new content can be running instantly, and you can change as often or when you need.

The future of advertising is definitely the digital format. Digital signage attracts your customers’ attention and allows for more effective interaction and heightened customer service experiences. Take for instance your customers waiting at your Service Counter to check in their vehicle for service. Did you know in a recent study it was found that 84% of customers who were in a line up waiting for service agreed that watching content on digital screens decreased the perception of waiting time? Additionally, 70% of those customers said that the content was definitely useful.

Have you ever been in a Tim Horton’s line up to buy your daily coffee, and you look up and see the new ‘featured’ donut of the day? Chances are you’ll be ordering it, or at least thinking about it!  Imagine your current Service Promotions being displayed in front of your customer’s eyes as they wait to be checked in. Maybe they were there for an oil change, and then they see a special on wiper blades and they remember they meant to replace those. Talk about perfect timing!

Concept, Content and Creation

The key to effective digital signage lies in the 3 Cs: concept, content and creation.
