Enhancing Window Digital Signage Readability with Anti-Glare Film from TRaC Associates
Trying to read a window poster or digital signage is often compromised by the glare and reflections on the window surface. Even the brightest image with the best content, might not be seen or noticed by your prospective customer. Pedestrians will not stop and look if they have to shield their eyes from the window glare and reflections.
TRaC now offers an external window Anti-Glare film that cuts down on the distracting reflected outside images and improves the visibility of the window signage. This film is applied like normal window films with a water activated adhesive for long term use without peeling or yellowing.
At a fraction of the cost of a digital signage system, the film allows potential customers to actually see and read your messages. Remember the old cliché…“if your message can’t be seen, it isn’t there….”

5 Key Ingredients of Digital Signage Content
02/02/2009
Despite the many different recipes for creating content, the essential ingredients for successful creative are invariably the same.
By Kevin Thomson
It’s more difficult than one would think to engage customers with digital out-of-home media and specifically, digital signage content. Understanding the objectives, being educated on the abilities of the technology and engaging the end-consumer through mobile interaction are all valid considerations. However, from my experience, the essential elements — or key ingredients — of digital signage content are:
1. Relevance — Creating content that’s not only relevant to your customer’s needs at your operation but also to their lives outside of your establishment is crucial………………
2. Placement — We’ve all witnessed Walmart’s transition from screens on the ceiling to screens at eye-level. Experience in retail suggests that customers are often over-stimulated by all the products and messages thrown at them when they enter a store……….
3. Refresh rate — Content seen over and over is eventually ignored, and unfortunately, the customers then ignore the device forever………………
4. Audio and visual stimulation — Getting the initial attention of the customer is challenging………………………
5. Intrigue — This is my favorite ingredient. Developing content that has the propensity to engage the customer is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of digital signage. I haven’t seen many implementations that do a great job at this, but I believe it’s improving overall………………..
