Hotels typically lag behind other industries in terms of technology spending. Most often funds are directed at maintaining and enhance the property. Tech spending is on the rise, however, and one emerging area is digital signage. Incorporating digital signage in your facility will serve to enhance your facility efficiency.

Digital signs are generally connected in a network and fed input from media players that are computer controlled. The digital content that is displayed can be changed via the internet from any location and different content can be scheduled for display as desired. The messages delivered to the network of displays can be just about anything you can design. As a content display media, the digital signs can display the weather, news, or even advertise lunch or dinner specials in the hotel.

Digital signage can also replace outdated electronic reader board systems and improve employee productivity. These signs can even by used to display the schedule of the days meetings. The schedule of hotel meetings and events can be entered by an employee and displayed throughout the entire facility via your network of digital signs. You can also print the schedules and distribute them to guests and employees as desired. In the past, the printed schedules would have to be manually entered into systems by employees. In the past the manually entered schedule would then be distributed to outdated television displays and in room systems. Utilizing digital signage solutions will help to boost the efficiency and appeal of your facility.

These older methods are more time consuming and not nearly as efficient as a digital sign network. It is unnecessary for employees to waste their time inputting meeting information manually. A digital hotel signage solution can interface with the hotel's existing sales and event management programs, dynamically distributing the meeting schedules to flat panel monitors located throughout the hotel. Employees will no longer have to spend their time updating schedules and they will be able to be more productive perform other vital functions.

In addition to making your employees more productive, your digital sign system will enable you display attractive and relevant information throughout your facility. When groups enter the property and see digital signs that welcome them personally and include their logo, for example, they will feel at home. In addition, it will reinforce their decision to use that hotel as the host of their events.
