why digital signage matters in 2022
2022 proves that being technologically adaptive is critical. Just look at the impromptu comeback of QR codes. The acceleration of AI. The undeniable advances of total experience (TX).
Simultaneously (and naturally), digital signage sees momentous growth.
As well? Between 2021 and 2027, the global digital signage market’s predicted to grow a further 11.9 billion.
Which leads to one big marshmallowy question: is your organisation keeping up?

Oh wait, that’s not it. You lose.
‘But I don’t want to lose,’ we hear you whisper. Neither do we! That’s why it’s pretty terrific you’re here. You know it’s a clever move to be in the know about your industry. So is yours a front-runner?

Why? They make up a picture-perfect 25.6% of Fusion Signage users.

Word on the street: digital signage boosts in-store traffic by 33%. Yep, that’s what FUJIFILM’s found. Which makes sense, since according to a FedEx survey, 68% of consumers believe signage quality reflects product quality.

Education
Education scribes its way into third place of this digital signage industry report!
Making up 6.4% of Fusion Signage’s customer base. Education comes in as one of the most popular industries using digital signage for good. It frisbees off the academic hat and grabs bronze with two eager hands.

And digital signage? Well, it goes with educating like lunchtime and schoolyard sandwiches.
Used to welcome students, notify visitors about upcoming events, even as a wayfinding tool.
Nothing screams A+ like a seamless experience from the morning bell right up until the night class’s last lecture.
EdTech notes that digital signage plays an important role in both day-to-day runnings, and emergencies. Why? Because accurate information shared quickly is key.
Used across classrooms, cafeterias and orientation weeks – digital signage in the education space is a no-brainer. Try it for free today.

The list goes on as to why aged care and digital signage are a perfect match. Come on up and snag your trophy.
*Proceeds to go on* Adjustable text sizes. Display schedules. And easy drag and drop imagery for simple content updates (like featuring photos from Mabel’s birthday within minutes of blowing out the candles). Digital signage offers aged care homes a simple, celebration-worthy solution.
Think: reminding residents of upcoming events. Past experiences. And even details about themes. Like western font for the John Wayne movie marathon. Cursive for the swing dance night. Or big bubbly words for the 70s revival party.
