Advertising
The use of Digital Signage for advertising has a whole host of benefits. It conveys your message, information, or advertisements in a clear and simple way, quickly and effectively. First impressions count to get your message across. It can be subtle, or bold and eye-catching to attract people’s attention to, for example, a retailer’s product. The displays can be presented on a range of different hardware including LCD monitors, plasma screens, multiple monitors, video walls, TVs and through projectors.

Interactivity via the use of touch screens is proving to be one of the next steps in digital signage. Face or gender recognition enables the system to change the media to, for instance, a predominately male set of adverts, as opposed to a predominately female set of adverts.

DigiSHOW’s user friendly and cost effective, digital signage solutions allow the user to upload suitable content from a centrally located media player, to one, several, many and hundreds or even thousands of display screens, quickly and easily. Creating playlists and scheduling them weeks or months in advance, depending what your next advertising campaign may be, can save you a huge amount of time and energy. Our Windows based, signage solution software supports a variety of media, including animations, stills and movies, so you can continue to use creation tools such as Photoshop, After Effects, Flash and even PowerPoint. Live video feeds and live WebPages add a different slant to your advertising campaigns.

Banking
Banks are turning to digital signs as a means to communicate better with their customers and to win new customer business. DigiSHOW digital signage allows the user to update messages and advertisements in the banking hall waiting areas. While customers are queuing in line they can watch compelling messages about interest rates, new products and services on offer. DigiSHOW also allows TV and news feeds to run alongside the adverts displayed on screen, making the content remain interesting and up-to-date.

The benefit of remote digital signage for banks is that all branches will have the same information, for example interest rates, uploaded centrally and so branch staff will not have to be relied upon to changes rates manually.

Broadcast
Future Software offer a range of products for the broadcast market, in particular servers designed for high quality play-out of infomercials for shopping channels.

Corporate
To keep staff happy, motivated and focused, communication is fundamental. Bringing staff the correct core information, entertainment and motivational messages, makes them feel part of the team.

Contacting your staff on a daily basis has never been easier. Using DigiSHOW Digital Signage, staff can be informed at the right time, at the right place, with the right information. They will soon adopt the clear and effective solution as part of their daily routine. Information display screens can be placed in more accessible locations instead of using paper based or email communications. There is also the added ability to mix and display different information in different ‘zones’, such as ‘Welcome Messages’ and ‘Directions’ in reception compared with ‘Meeting Agendas’ and ‘Financial Information’ in a meeting/dealing room.

Healthcare
One of the largest areas of waiting can be found in the healthcare sector. A more enjoyable wait for patients and companions can be obtained with DigiSHOW digital signage in the waiting areas. Display screens can carry a mix of latest news through TV feeds, health and welfare information, and your own promotional content. Also one of the most important pieces of information for the patient is the ‘WAITING TIME.’ In larger facilities, for example hospitals, the content displayed on screens can be tailored to each department. For instance in the children’s ward an advertising campaign for childproofing your home could be looped with other child protection issues.

DigiSHOW digital signage can provide patients on wards and in private rooms with additional programming choices, supplied from a central media player connected to existing TVs across the establishment. As well as the usual TV channels, you can control the content seen by patients including hospital information, patient success stories and get-well messages.

In the main reception areas of larger facilities 'Way Finding' displays can be invaluable for the patients and visitors. Maps can be updated remotely for the whole of the establishment from one central location. DigiSHOW digital signage is a very useful tool for the healthcare staff as well. In their staff rooms, canteens and coffee rooms, staff can be kept up to date with all sorts of information including safety procedures, training courses, new treatments on offer and social events.

Hotel
Digital Signage in hotels is fast becoming the most popular way for the hotelier to inform guests of the facilities available to them. With flat screen displays in the guest rooms, lobbies, bars, restaurants and functions rooms, guests are constantly updated with the latest information.

DigiSHOW Digital Signage allows the user to quickly update the latest information with ease and accuracy, notifying the guests of bar and restaurant opening times, sports facilities available, Way finding and event schedules. They can be scheduled to change automatically or be changed at the last minute. This solution avoids a mountain of paperwork, keeps your guests happy and informed and therefore increased return on the investment.

Leisure
Digital Signage in the travel, tourism and leisure industry is rapidly growing. Screen displays are common place amongst betting shops and football stadiums, where historical footage of your favourite teams can be shown. Travel Agents are able to display holiday destinations to help with your choice of holiday. Whether you have a nightclub, bar, sports facility, cafe or other leisure club, digital signage is becoming a ‘must have’ piece of technology. Bright, moving images with audio can set the mood appropriate for your business.

DigiSHOW digital signage is just the solution for that need. The user is able to quickly and successfully change the content on screen to fit with the environment. Suitable content is a must to show digital signage off at its best. For instance, sports facilities may advertise local and national sports events, sports shops, equipment and sportswear, teams and upcoming matches. They can also provide health and injury information with links to the medical profession.

All this information and advertising can be achieved from an off-the-shelf, out-of-the-box product. An easy to use, set-up in minute’s solution, controlled from one central location, is for the one-off facility or the nationwide or worldwide user.

Retail
Digital Signage in the retail industry enables a retailer to control and display effective advertising quickly and easily. With the ability to use video, sound and scrolling text, Digital Signage can be used instead of static print signs. Adding sound and movement, to advertise the retailer’s products, catches the eye of the consumer and so hopefully increases sales.

DigiSHOW is a flexible system and so retailers can utilise its power in many ways. Using more than just static images DigiSHOW allows effective communication, therefore creating a greater impact. DigiSHOW supports a wide range of industry standard formats as well as live inputs such as TV signals. DigiSHOW updates screens in minutes and can be scheduled weeks or even months in advance, thus catering for the changes in advertising campaigns.
