10. Digital signage 101
• A network of intelligent video displays placed in a variety of
out-of-home (OOH) settings to communicate targeted, up-
to-the-minute messages to defined audiences.
• Delivers more dynamic and cost effective communication
than other visual communications.
• Attracts audience’s attention, creates ambience, informs
and educates.

the right time.
• Reduce (but not eliminate) print and email.
• Delivers more dynamic and cost effective
communication than other visual communications.
