Newest NSCA MIB studies trends and usage in application
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA, July 14, 2008 — Learning how to sell digital signage systems, understanding digital signage software and calculating the cost and benefit of the market are the primary areas needed for success in the digital signage industry, according to the Q3 NSCA Market Intelligence Briefings™ (MIB) -- Digital Signage Trends in the Commercial Electronic Systems Industry.
“The outlook for digital signage is positive,” said Senior Director of Member Services, Jodi Montgomery. “NSCA members involved in digital signage who responded to the survey said they anticipated projects to increase this year. In fact, the survey indicated a growth rate of 45 percent for 2008.”
More than 67 percent of systems contractors/integrators and 80 percent of independent technical/design consultants were involved in digital signage projects last year.
The report polled and split out two distinct elements of the industry: systems contractors/integrators and independent technical/design consultants. The primary venues and markets for both groups include corporate and industrial, universities and colleges, houses of worship, and hotels/convention centers.
Among other areas, the report details market demand, multi-line channels involving digital signage, typical systems for display screens, obstacles to market involvement, and necessary skills and knowledge for increased participation in digital signage.
