Digital Signage, Not Just for Fast Food: Statistics You Should Know

Digital Signage, Not Just for Fast Food: Statistics You Should Know

Digital signage has revolutionized business communication by offering a dynamic and engaging platform to deliver information and messages to consumers. While quick-service restaurants were early to adopt digital signage, the benefits of this solution extend well beyond the realm of fast food. In this article, we will explore the diverse applications of digital signage and provide compelling statistics from reputable sources, shedding light on its potential impact across a variety of industries.

 

Diversifying the Digital Signage Landscape

1. Retail Stores:

Retailers are using digital signage to transform the in-store shopping experience. Dynamic displays showcasing product information, promotions, and customer reviews can significantly influence purchasing decisions. Studies find that digital signage increases brand awareness by a staggering 47.7%.

2. Healthcare Facilities:

In hospitals and clinics, digital signage is used for wayfinding, appointment reminders, and health awareness campaigns. It simplifies complex information for patients and visitors, improving overall satisfaction. Sources say that 75% of hospital patients could recall at least one message from a digital sign. If you have essential information for your patients, your best bet is to add it to your digital signage.

3. Corporate Offices:

Digital signage is employed in corporate settings for internal communication, displaying important announcements, updates, and recognition programs. It enhances employee engagement and fosters a sense of belonging within the organization. Statistics show that 63% of customers prefer digital signage that offers real-time updates.

4. Hospitality Industry:

Hotels and resorts use digital signage for guest information, event schedules, and personalized greetings. The interactive nature of digital displays enhances guest experience, leading to positive reviews and repeat business. After three days, people retain only 10-20% of textual or auditory information. However, when information is presented visually on digital signage, retention rates can skyrocket to as high as 65%. This striking difference underscores the importance of visual engagement through digital signage.

 

Statistics Speak Volumes

Increased Sales: Digital signage has been found to boost sales by up to 32.8%.

Improved Customer Experience: 80% of brands experienced a significant improvement in customer experience after implementing digital signage solutions.

Enhanced Recall: After three days, people retain 65% of the visual information compared to only 10% of textual information.

Higher Engagement: Digital displays capture 400% more views than static displays, enhancing customer engagement.

Time Efficiency: Digital signage reduces perceived wait time by up to 35%, making it ideal for queue management.

But the term ‘Brick and Mortar’ is more outdated than an 8-track.
