Let’s face it one of the most important parts of a high school student’s day is lunch.  Whether they are standing in line or sitting down to eat, digital signage can be an effective way to communicate with students.

Digital Menu Board

The days of posting paper on a bulletin board are over. To compete with Ipods, Twitter, text messages and the barrage of other messages hitting teenagers every minute you need to use vibrant and flashy technology to get noticed.

In addition to posting the menu for the day, digital signage provides you with the opportunity to expose students to the latest headline news, local weather conditions, and stock market values.  In the event of an emergency immediately transform the display into a flashing message to attract attention.em

California Sports Center (CSC), a leading provider of gymnastics, swimming, dance and cheerleading instruction, recently deployed digital signage in 4 of their 7 locations in Santa Clara County.

Like many other businesses, CSC experiences a variety of marketing and communications challenges, with their on-site customers, as well their employees at each location. They turned to BLR Sign Systems to provide a new and cost-effective marketing solution—digital signage—with the following goals:

• Increased enrollment in all sports programs

• Improved customer experience

• Improved communications with existing customers, new prospects and employees

• The ability to always show fresh, relevant information and compelling visual content

CSC’s digital signs are now activated and running in all four locations. Here’s what CSC’s Assistant Director, Christopher B. had to say about their new signage:

“We’ve been looking for ways to improve our cross-marketing efforts and communicate more effectively with our members. Our digital signage reduces the overall ‘clutter’ created when posting information, promotional items, and pictures on every inch of our lobby walls.

“With the digital signs, we immediately provided a more professional atmosphere and have expanded our ability to provide a greater visual impact with all visitors and our staff.”
