What are Digital Signs?

Digital signs are like the tech-savvy billboards of our digital age. Unlike their static signs, their old-school cousins that just sit there with the same message day in and day out, digital signs can change their message at the drop of a hat. They use LED or LCD screens to display anything from text and images to videos and animations. They come in a variety of sizes from fitting on a van, to taking up an entire concert screen. You’ll see them everywhere – shopping malls, highways, outside stores, and even in schools churches, and offices. They’re like the flashy, modern storytellers that businesses, schools, churches, and other organizations use to share their messages with the world.

Digital Signs – The Definitive Guide

Ready to upgrade to standout, jaw dropping digital signs? If it’s your first digital sign you might not be sure where to begin, but don’t worry—we have you covered! Below is a quick look at how to select the perfect custom commercial digital signage to meet your needs. Any questions that aren’t answered in this article can be answered by one of Mega LED Technology’s team members.

Your Sign Is Designed And Built Specifically For You!

Before we get into your signage options, let’s cover a common misconception—the size of your sign is up to you! Your new sign will need to be a square or rectangular shape, but we can design signs that are as small as a TV screen or as large as a billboard. Yes, there are a several popular sizes, but every business is unique which is why we build each sign after the order is placed. In addition to ensuring your sign is the perfect size, we design it with the internal components that meet your individual needs.

For example, outdoor signs in extreme hot or cold weather require custom components. Ordering a Digital Sign in Florida will be slightly different internally to one ordered in Alaska. We will discuss these differences with you, to ensure you receive the best digital sign for your needs. We will also design your sign to ensure it is readable from your desired distance.

Now let’s look at our 5 sign categories, including indoor-only signs and signs that can be placed indoors or outside.

Scrolling LED Signs

Scrolling LED signs are simple but highly effective. Use them for marketing, upsells, and to communicate with your guests. These signs are a popular choice if you don’t have much room on your window or walls, but they can also be placed outside—maybe layered under one of our 4 other signs.

As with all our signs, the software is easy and intuitive to use. However, our Versa scrolling signs come with a remote control that has a 200-foot range so that you or your team members can update the message at any time. Starting at just $500, these are budget-friendly digital signs.

A popular choice for gas stations, nail salons, computer repair shops, coffee shops, dry-cleaning, to make your window stand out in a strip mall. The work-horse of the small business. Versa Scrolling LED signs are:

  • Lightweight window or wall mounted
  • Indoor or outdoor
  • Plugs right into a standard socket
  • Single, tri, or multi-color
  • 10 brightness options
  • Multiple scrolling speeds
  • Intuitive software
  • Remote control
  • 38 different pre-loaded text options (or completely custom)
  • 32 special effects
  • Over 300 fun graphics and animations
  • And more!

SMD High-Resolution Indoor LED

Our SMD Indoor LED signs are a high-resolution solution for giving indoor presentations. As with all our signs, you can order SMDs in a variety of sizes, but if you want something larger than your standard flatscreen TV this is your ideal option. We can make them large enough to create a video wall or to place on a stage with crystal clear clarity for people in the back of the audience to view with ease.

You upload and manage the presentation or signage onsite or remotely with easy and intuitive software. With our software, you can have the cameras on you, and feed it live onto the screen behind you!

These High Resolution signs are a popular choice for churches, stadiums, arenas, and conference rooms of every size!

Premier Outdoor LED signs

Our Premier LED outdoor signs are large but lightweight, durable, and will be built to operate in your local climate. If you are searching for an oversized, elevated, or digital billboard that can be seen from the freeway or several blocks away this is your top option!

As with our remaining digital signs, you can post crystal clear photos, videos, and digital advertising—managed remotely from anywhere with internet access. Swap between a variety of ads and designs and preprogram your messages to change at designated times during the day. For best results, hire a designer who specializes in large-scale digital displays to ensure your visuals pop. You can even share basics such as the current date, time, and weather.

A popular choice for car dealerships, churches, personal billboards, rented billboards, hotels, and more.

  • Lightweight aluminum frame
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Heat resistant
  • Waterproof
  • Durable
  • Vandal-resistant (blunt trauma and graffiti)
  • Quick-release modules
  • Bright but not glaring
  • Lasts over 10 years!
  • And more!

Alpha LED Sign Boards

Our Alpha LED sign boards are ideal when you want to deliver branded messages in a wide and open space, such as a sign placed on a football field. If the goal is to entice and engage your target audience, this is the sign for you!

We suggest stacking your digital signs in two or three layers to improve impact and communication. For example, you could have a logo I.D. cabinet on top, a large sign to share ads in the middle, and a scrolling sign on the bottom to share time-relevant information—such as a “Good Morning” message.

These vibrant signs are a popular choice for churches, schools, hotels, government buildings, restaurants, and any business who wants a standout entrance sign.

OMEGA Monument Signs

Our Omega monument digital signs are our most customizable option. They are more than a sign, but a 3-layer design element placed at the entrance of your school, church, building, mall, theater, office building, or business.

Top Layer—your top layer is your I.D. cabinet. This will feature your business name and/or logo. You have 7 different cabinets to choose from, 2 with stylized lettering.

Middle Layer—your middle layer is your custom LED in a rectangular shape the same width as your I.D. cabinet. It will be custom designed for your unique specs, and for close-proximity viewing.

Bottom Layer—the bottom layer is your decorative base to match your brand or building exterior. You can choose from traditional brick, sleek aluminum, or an elevated pole mount. Your base contains the electrical components and toggle switches.

Frame Color—your final choice is to select a complementary or contrasting frame color that will enclose all 3 layers of your custom digital signs.

 

Yes, Outdoor Digital Signs Can Be Placed Indoors!

While most of the signs above are capable of being placed outdoors, they can of course be placed indoors. Indoor digital signs are growing in popularity because they are faster, easier, and less expensive in the long run than constantly swapping out printed POP and communication. With the ability to swap the sign out any time of day, you can change your signs more frequently. Consider using your new sign as a digital directory, digital menu board, timed announcement board, safety reminders, training and instructions, marketing and promotions, and more!

Digital Signs FAQ

Which LED Sign Is THE Best For My Organization?

Glad you asked.

That all comes down to the who, where, what, when, why and how of your particular needs.

How far away will your sign be from the highway? What sort of message will your sign display? Who is your sign’s target audience?

And since that’s a beefy question that deserves its own blog post…we wrote one, which you can find here.

What the heck does “LED” mean?

To be brief, LED simply means Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are brighter, last longer and use less energy than standard light bulbs. An LED sign is made of many individual LEDs packed closely together.

Each point of light on a sign is called a pixel, which stands for “picture element.” On monochrome displays, pixels each consist of a single LED, while pixels in color displays feature 3 closely packed diodes—one green, one blue and one red.

Screens with more pixels display more detailed images. You might also see the term pixel pitch tossed around. Pitch basically means the distance between individual LEDs or color LED clusters—the smaller the pitch, the higher the resolution.

Are monochrome displays effective anymore, or do I need a flashy full-color sign?

Monochrome LEDs are probably what most people think of when you mention LED signs. They’re budget-friendly, but still eye-catching enough to entice new visitors.

They’re the workhorse of many businesses, and to be honest, they just might be the best choice for your organization.

On the other hand, if you want to play videos or replicate the power of a television ad, you’ll want to consider investing in a color display.

How do I know I have a quality LED sign, and how long is this thing going to last?

Top-notch LED signs are designed, built and supported in the USA. They have airtight warranties—say, 5 years of parts and on-site labor. They have extensive documentation and readily available support.

Most importantly, the hallmark of a quality LED sign is a company that’s willing to stand by its product.

And how long is that awesome display outside your business going to be alive and kicking?

With MEGA’s attention to detail, dedication to best design and manufacturing practices, and our commitment to our customers…a very long time.

Do I have to wait forever for my sign to arrive?

Nope, not even if we’re building something totally crazy and completely customized for you.

And for standard orders, expect your sign to be ready to roll in just a few weeks.

Oh, and shipping is free. Go somewhere else if you want someone to nickel-and-dime you.

All I care about is…how is an LED sign going to help my business?

Well, do you like reeling in new customers?

Do you want to set your organization apart from your competitors?

Do you like making money?

Well, take a look at just about any business with a newly installed LED sign. Ask their customers exactly what brought them in that day. Do you know what the majority of new visitors say?

That the business’ LED sign was the main reason they decided to stop in.

So, that’s how LED signs can help your business.

Dont take our word for it, many stuides have shown that LED Signs can GREATLY impact your bottom line. In fact, its considered the 2nd best marketing method, right after word of mouth.

Check out our article on how Digital Signage can impact your ROI.

How Do I Program My Digital Signage?

Programming your sign is easy! Scrolling signs come with a remote control that has a text keyboard to quickly type in your new messaging. Make your text stand out with over 300 stored images and animations, 38 character functions, and 32 special effects.

All our Digital signs come with scheduling software to create text, and upload HD videos, images, motion graphics, and digital ads. Once you get the hang of it, its just like any other software or app, it becomes increasingly easy to change your message. Preschedule when to post each message, what order to alternate your messages, and how long to rest on each image before moving to the next—typically between 3 and 10 seconds, is a breeze.

How can I use digital signage to communicate with employees?

Add a digital sign in your lobby or break room and alternate between a “Good Morning” message, inspirational quote, or send off message. Post the latest memo. Share safety updates and protocols. Share project statistics. Highlight the new hires or an employee of the month. Post the daily schedule. Share an instructional video. Post your Mission, Vision, and Values. Your options are endless.

What are the benefits of digital signage?

Digital signs have an impressive 83% recall rate and capture 400% more views than static signs. Digital Signs also increase brand awareness by between 47% to 86% depending on the industry and location of the sign. When messages are engaging and strategically placed, they can reduce perceived wait times by 35%. They increase upsells and overall sales by between 30% and 150% depending on the industry and location of the sign. It is estimated that 1 out of 5 workplace disasters can be prevented by adding a digital sign with a video or protocol reminder, improving health and safety—while reducing insurance claims.

How much does Digital Signage cost?

Probably a lot less than you think.

MEGA’s signs start at just $500, in fact. But that’s not exactly accurate, is it?

Spending a few grand on an LED sign isn’t the same as dropping the same amount on, say, a bunch of new staplers or a frozen margarita maker for your break room.

LED signs are advertising, plain and simple. And when you consider the return on investment for all forms of marketing—from newspapers to radio ads to Google—LED displays offer the highest ROI by far.

The best part? You can change your sign’s message at any time without spending a cent.

So, no matter what you pay today, be sure to factor in exactly how much the sign is worth—because they usually end up paying for themselves.

Your new sign will be made to order and the price will vary greatly depending on your customizable features. Customizable features include the viewing distance, functionality, size of your sign, how it is mounted, if it has a frame, and if it is one or two-sided. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for an absolutely free quote with no sales pressure or pesky sales reps. MEGA also never sells any of your information to any third party marketers or distributors – ever.

Ongoing costs are minimal, and include cleaning the sign, and the cost of electricity. Protect your investment with an annual inspection performed by a local LED technician to check the connectors, components, and hardware. They will also perform periodic interior cleaning, which you should not perform yourself.

Are Digital Signs energy efficient?

Yes! LED stands for light emitting diode and is among the most efficient forms of lighting available. LED signs are 30% more energy-efficient than fluorescent lights and up to 75% as efficient as incandescent lighting. In addition to being environmentally friendly, they last up to 25 times longer than regular incandescent lighting, saving you on your energy bill as well as saving the environment!

How long does digital signage last?

With regular maintenance and care, your new sign will last approximately 11 years or 100,00 hours. You can leave your sign on day and night or turn it off at night. Although the standard rate is 11 years or so, some of our MEGA signs are still around today 15 years later!

What is the viewing range of digital signage?

LED lights are vibrant and clear so even small signs can be viewed from at least 200 feet away. The larger your sign and smaller the pixel pitch, the further away it can be viewed. For example, billboard signs can be viewed from several blocks away. One of our largest and most infamous  signs, resides in Cape Canaveral Florida, and is the NASA countdown clock! It’s viewing distance is up to 1 full kilometer away!

You may not require long-distance viewing so select the size and pitch of your sign depending on your design and communication goals.

What size should my digital signage be?

This is entirely up to you! Your sign is built-to-order in any square or rectangular shape you desire. So, create a marketing and communications strategy and order your sign in the size required for your goals.

Billboards and oversized signs are ideal for building exteriors, poster-sized signs are great in lobbies and breakrooms, window signs are often small or midsized, menu boards and price lists are often oversized, and signs that display art and ads are at least mid-sized. Contact one of our experience knowledgeable reps to find out what digital sign can be best for your use.

What colors does digital signage come in?

The sign itself is black similar to your flat screen TV. Scrolling signs can display single color, tri-color, or full color test and graphics. HD video and image signs are unlimited in the colors that can be displayed. The only other color choice is the frame and base if you order a frame and base.

Our aluminum frames and aluminum or steel mounting poles and pedestals come in 80 colors to match or contrast your building or logo. You can also mount on a brick base or have an engineer design a custom frame, mount, or base.

How much Digital Signage should I purchase?

The choice is yours! Exterior signs are often ordered in 2 or 3 layers including a logo sign, scrolling sign, or HD image and video sign. Or maybe 2 HD image and video signs. Also, consider if your signs need to be 2-sided.

Then decide where to place your interior signs. You may simply replace your current paper signs or add more digital signs.

How is Digital Signage mounted?

Mounting depends on factors such as the size, height, and desired mounting location. Small and midsized indoor signs can be mounted on the wall, hung from the ceiling, placed in the window, or mounted on a custom pedestal. Mid and oversized interior signs may be mounted on a custom pedestal or on the wall, which may require reinforcements or a bracket.

Billboards and oversized digital displays must be mounted on a steel pole or a low and wide brick base. A standard brick base for an oversized sign is 18 feet off the ground and 76 feet wide. Steel poles can be mounted at either 40, 48, 60, 72, or 84 feet off the ground. Custom mounting is an option and signs can also be mounted to walls and building exteriors. Some of our more popular mounting options are brick, wall, pole, column or pedestal.

Be sure to check and see if a permit or license is required for window and exterior signage. If you have any questions regarding zoning, permits or legality with your digital signs, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our experts! We are available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m!

Missed our operating hours? It’s no problem at all! Reach out to us anytime, or request a free quote here.

Do I need to hire a Digital Signage designer?

Maybe. If your messages will be text-only, you may not need a designer. If you already have a marketing or design firm, check to see if they also design digital displays. This will ensure your POP is cohesive. If you don’t have a designer check with your staff as you are sure to have a tech and design-savvy employee who can design your signs for you.

Does Digital Signage work in extreme temperatures?

Yes! Not only do we custom build your sign to size, but to include components that ensure it operates in your local weather. We test our signs for rain, snow, ice, dry heat, humidity, and temperatures ranging from 160 degrees Fahrenheit to -40. Your signs will be safe anywhere in the United States, continental or otherwise.
