Nothing beats the good old-fashioned bulletin board for a quick run-down of campus and organization news. Simple yet effective, bulletin boards have been around for ages.
While you may be convinced about the power and purpose of bulletin boards, you might wonder whether to go for the traditional version or the contemporary board. Here’s why digital bulletin boards are better than traditional ones:
When you post information on a digital board, your message gets published instantly. You don’t have to hand over your info to an assistant or department first and wait for it to be published later. Timely publication is crucial for notices with tight deadlines.
You can publish your message using your phone or tablet without moving from your desk to go and physically post your information. No going up the stairs. No time wasted looking for the relevant person. No waiting in line.
Old-school paper bulletin boards can be messy and confusing. Finding the relevant message under a mish-mash of torn and smudged papers can be a nightmare. It’s easy to miss important messages. Not so with modern digital bulletin boards. All messages are clear, well-organized for all to see with a quick glance.
Let’s admit it. Hand writing can be hard to read. As a result, people struggle to get the gist of the message in front of them. Digital fonts are bold, clear, and easy to read. No need for your audience to squint their eyes anymore to read notices on the board.
Finally, digital bulletin boards are stylish and aesthetically pleasing. You can experiment with fonts and colors until you get the perfect (and professional) look you are after.

“[Rise Vision] made it easier to post flyers on a large TV screen rather than hanging a small sign. I was also able to post schedules for certain rooms to let students know availability. Easy to get the message out on a larger scale.”
