Digital signage will swell to $20 billion by 2020 according to the white paper. Mvix notes how impressive this is, considering the industry is only 10 years old. “Digital Signage Opportunities for Sign Shops” includes considerations for print providers and sign companies who want a piece of the pie. It expounds on the shortcomings of static signage, both in the production of the signage and it’s effect on customers. It also explores the strengths of signs shops and how they can be parlayed into profits.

From the paper:

“A traditional sign shop new to digital signage is already steps ahead of a new digital signagevendor.

How so?

First, they are coming into the market with a unique understanding of the elements of effective information display. They have a much better understanding of the communication element, without relying on the medium as an attention-getter.

Not all signage needs to be big, flashy, and overcrowded. New digital signage vendors often focus on style and pizzazz over content and communication, which can desensitize viewers from the message. Traditional-to-digital converts are often able to blend the two elements effectively.

Second, traditional sign shops are in a unique position to leverage the customer base they’ve built in print and move it to digital. These customers may be unaware of the potential of digital, and it’s up to the sign shop to present ‘new and improved’ digital alternatives. Being proactive is the most surefire way of getting static signage customers to embrace digital signage.”
