Digital signs are made for creating great first impressions, and many municipalities have already discovered how significant their impact can be. From public service announcements to influencing event participation, digital signage can help drive your overall community involvement—and make your town or city a more welcoming place to be!
Using outdoor digital displays, you can display just about any message you want:
- Hours of operation
- Upcoming events
- Emergency notices
- Current time and temperature
These are just basic ideas, but in this blog, we’ll go over how you can get more creative with your digital signage and messaging. Not sure how to best use your municipality’s existing digital signage, or looking to make an impact on your community with a new outdoor LED sign? Here we uncover the best digital sign uses for municipalities and how you can get started with your next sign project.
Improve Perceptions of Public Works With Digital Monument Signs
The more care you put into your public works, such as parks, schools, and libraries, the more likely people are to use them. Public places for your community should be welcoming, and a digital monument sign is a great way to make that statement.
Think of the places in your community that could use additional activity. Your local library for example, might not be as active as you’d like. A digital monument sign can be the perfect accessory that attracts the community back in. Your sign could read, “Book Club meetings every Sunday at 2 PM.” Or you could use it to advertise new book releases that are now available for borrowing. In a similar fashion, a monument sign can act as an excellent welcoming piece at the front of your municipal park. Have your digital sign display park hours and any gatherings or events that may be coming up.
Promote Your Community and Events Using Outdoor Digital Signs
Get your community involved! Digital LED signs are attention grabbing, which gives you the perfect opportunity to let everyone know about your community achievements or upcoming events. With a outdoor digital display, you could:
- Welcome visitors
- Remind people to vote
- Promote community events
- Recognize community achievements
Having digital signage in your community will help you spread the word quickly, “Complete your voter registration by this Friday!” It’s also a great alternative (or complement) to paper advertising. Your municipality could benefit by going green and significantly reduce the amount of paper waste by promoting events digitally. If you haven’t already, consider installing outdoor digital signage in front of your main administrative buildings and local school. These areas often provide the most visibility and traffic for spreading news within communities.
Bring Awareness to Your Community With Digital Displays
Your signs don’t always have to be about promoting the community. Simple reminders and emergency announcements can be really helpful to locals and passerbys. If you have fire or police departments near busy roads, take advantage of the location and instal a digital municipality sign. These signs are great for:
- Friendly reminders
- “Slow down!”
- “Buckle up!”
- “Check your detector!”
- Public service announcements
- Emergency information
Having digital signs in front of your emergency service buildings also brings attention to where they actually are, and can help make your community a safer place.
