I was at a digital signage convention and listened to sales pitches from many sign makers. I joined a small group at one booth and the salesperson was saying, “We’re showing you 13 zones right now but if you want more that’s no problem.” What! Yes, it is a problem.
I digital sign is similar to a bulletin board. You’ve seen it, messages tacked up here and there, post it notes, paper with little tear-off tags, pictures of this and that. The board is filled with things for sale, lost animals, rent this vacation home, and there under the recipe for Mary’s apple pie is a health insurance change or information on the free admission to a local amusement park. More is not better.
In all the clutter important information is lost. Information you want or information that someone needs to get to you. Whether the viewer is an employee or a customer the need for clear, concise information is paramount. By rotating the messaging on your sign from topic to topic you will provide better information in a more organized fashion.
Are there times and places for zones, sure; but they are the exception and not the rule.
