Digital Signage Solutions > Return On Your Investment

It is not uncommon for people to ask us how to financially justify an investment in digital signage. There are some tools available to measure performance in retail and hospitality applications, but there are no standardized tools to measure ROI for digital signage in organizational communications.

Measuring benefits

Do you know what you want your audience to do after seeing your messages? Do you have an effective method in place to determine how successful you have been? Fully understanding your starting point is a huge advantage. Your goals will most likely fall into one of several broad categories:

• To compel – student organizations and activities, benefits enrollment, charity drives
• To inform – new policies at work, classes and training dates, wayfinding and directories, weather and news
• To motivate – recognition and reward programs, stock prices and profit-sharing schemes, internal contests
• To include – welcome messages, new hire and birthday announcements, community and social activities
• To recognize – organization and individual achievements, safety benchmarks, sports teams stats
• To warn – severe weather, fire and other emergencies, security threats

Each reason for communicating will have its own method of measuring success:

• Communications that are intended to get the audience to do something will see an increase in participation, traffic or enrollment
• If the goal is to inform, casual lunchroom polls or water cooler chatter might easily measure how much information was taken in
• For motivational messages, you should see an increase in productivity and job satisfaction
• Messages to make your audience feel included or to recognize achievements ought to see an increase in morale and participation
• After alert communications, you should see people following your procedures that are designed to limit panic and injuries

The idea is to make ROI measurement a long-term, continuing process. With constant feedback from your target audiences, you can fine-tune your messages and campaigns to become better and better at reaching the specific people you are targeting and getting the results you want.

Digital Signage Solutions > Green Considerations & Benefits

Visix solutions not only help to save paper and energy waste, but they are cheaper over time than traditional print mediums when communicating with a large, diverse audience. The larger your audience, the more cost effective Visix technologies are:

Paper & WASTE Savings

Communicating with audiences using a digital signage system requires no paper unlike traditional methods like bulletin boards, posters, banners, printed newsletters, mail, flyers and so on. No trees are cut down; no water, inks or solvents are used; and when the message is no longer relevant, it doesn’t go to a landfill to decompose and emit methane, but is simply deleted.

Energy Savings

We've integrated Device Control into our digital signage software, which allows you to access Extron IP Link devices from a browser interface to manually control display functions and schedule on/off cycles. You can schedule displays to turn on when your audience is around and turn them off when they aren’t. Depending on the size of the deployment, users can annually recognize hundreds or even thousands of dollars in potential energy savings by turning displays off when not in use, reducing carbon emissions, extending the life of their displays and reducing the likelihood of image retention.

ENERGY DASHBOARD

This custom content module constantly updates and shows simple graphic representations of a building’s consumption of electricity, water, heating and cooling energy. If your audience can see the resources they’re using, they can adjust their behavior accordingly to reduce consumption. This also lets administrators track and analyze energy spikes and trends.

Because the dashboard is animated and can even be interactive, it captures attention, conveys the information in a pleasing manner, and leverages your digital signage for true dynamic content delivery.

If you're trying to decide if digital signage is right for your organization, consider the following:

1. On average, how many people are you attempting to reach with your communications?
2. Do you track communication success in your organization? How many people open email announcements? How many people visit Intranet or Internet announcements?
3. How many people attend specific events as a percentage of the target population?
4. On average, how much activity, attendance or revenue does each event or product generate?
5. If you could better target marketing efforts, do you think you could increase the likelihood of attendance, satisfaction or cross-selling opportunities? What would be a reasonable expectation for a % increase?
6. How much time is spent monthly managing printed, Intranet, Internet or email material?
7. What is the average cost per labor hour? How effective are these mediums?
8. If you implemented digital signage, how many of these existing mediums would you replace?
9. What would the cost savings be for eliminating them, including production time, printing, delivery and disposal?
10. How frequently do you change printed displays?
11. What value do you find in delivering important announcements instantaneously?
12. Do you currently have TV’s in your facilities? If you had a digital sign that served as both a TV and a sign, is it safe to assume you would no longer be buying TV’s? How much money would that save?
13. Are you using your existing TV’s to deliver only video, cable or satellite signals?
14. If you were able to better educate and entertain your target audience, do you believe that you would increase overall morale? Would it be reasonable to expect to retain or acquire one person per month as a result?
15. Would it be a benefit to your organization to raise awareness of local community involvement? What would it be worth to you?
16. What would it be worth to you to update or modernize your brand image?
17. Would it be valuable to your organization to use the same digital signage displays for teleconferencing, web-training or video announcements? What would that be worth?
18. Are productivity measures important to your organization? What communication techniques do you use to improve productivity?
19. What medium do you use to recognize outstanding performance?
