How to Look for the Right Digital Signage Content Providers

Posted by tedmark on July 26th, 2013

 High quality, relevant content is critical to the success of digital signage networks, and most network operators turn to third-party content providers to keep the information on their displays fresh and valuable.

So how does a digital signage network owner or operator find the provider that suits their needs? Any content company will have a presence on the web, so finding them is easy. The harder job is sorting and selecting the right one.

There are several key factors to consider, both technical and visual.

First, the technical. Content providers need an easy, reliable way to keep your digital signage network displays steadily refreshed with new material. The best services will automate all this for you, meaning you need to set things up once, and then updates just happen without your worrying about it.

If you need to manually find, download and then load new digital signage content to your network, that’s probably not a sustainable routine. It’s resource-intensive, and some days, you won’t have time.

In the same vein, the service must be reliable and stable, and have a technical design that fixes itself if something goes wrong. You want a digital signage content service that has been thoroughly tested, and is well managed and backed up.

You also want quality source material from reputable providers. A good digital signage content provider will be working with respected content resource such as new agencies, using material that is accurate, responsible and properly copyrighted and permissioned.

On the visual side, you want to look for digital signage content providers that produce visuals that demand the attention of viewers.

You want designs that are flexible, and clean. The layouts should not be too busy, and all visuals large enough to view, even from a reasonable distance.

Your key here is to look for a digital signage creative content service that approaches the visuals like an advertising creative agency would do it. If it looks like computer programmers designed the content, you will not win and hold viewer attention.

Finally, also look at the terms and conditions. How does the digital signage content service provider charge, and how rigid are the contracts. You don’t want to be locked into a long-term agreement, like a cell phone plan, and that’s how some agreements are done. Make sure the arrangements fit with your budget and how you want to do business.

Do you want to find the best digital signage content providers? Then stop looking because you have just found the best. Make a few clicks and enter our world of quality digital signage content design. Choose quality over quantity today!
