Do Your Customers Know More Than Your Employees?

Do Your Customers Know More Than Your Employees?

Retailers are the number one users of digital signage. All those video walls, kiosks, endless aisles, sales assist tables and other forms of signage add up to some 40% of the market. And retailers are expected to retain that position in the foreseeable future.  Stores blanketed with digital signs mean customers often are well-informed about sales and product features. The question is, do they know more than your average retail employee? Given typically high associate turnover, the answer could be “yes.”  And the irony is, the same type of digital signs that benefit stores on the sales floor can provide similarly […]

The Color Connection

The Color Connection

Human beings prefer our lives to be colorful – literally. As The Ultimate Guide to Using Color Psychology in Marketing says: “Color is an essential tool because it has an impact on how we think and behave. Color directs our eye where to look, what to do, and how to interpret something. It puts content into context.

The Human Brain: Hardwired for Motion

The Human Brain: Hardwired for Motion

We human beings are a brainy bunch. Our brain is the largest relative to body size among all other vertebrates. The cerebral cortex is greatly enlarged in humans and is the seat of complex thought. But in today’s modern world, it’s easy to forget that the brain has been key to our continued existence.  “The brain . . . is designed to solve problems related to surviving in an unstable outdoor environment and to do so in nearly constant motion (to keep you alive long enough to pass your genes on). We were not the strongest on the planet, but […]

On the Move: Using Motion Design to Create Compelling Digital Signage

On the Move: Using Motion Design to Create Compelling Digital Signage

“Design is thinking made visual.” – Graphic designer Saul Bass Digital signage has its own design discipline. It’s not the same as print, or web, or television. Digital signage design needs to bring focus and context to a brand’s story without some of the usual tricks – such as using sound with video. And it calls for a specific infrastructure for production and delivery unlike that for print, web and video. As a matter of fact, since it’s dynamic and motion-oriented, digital signage design has more in common with two other fields of design – animation and movie titles – […]

What engages them varies by the study, but two elements seem clear: Money isn’t the answer. Pay and benefits are important, but not the most deciding factor. More personal aspects of the workplace, such as people and purpose, play a critical role. While we’re not undertaking a comprehensive review of the […]
