Bulletin Boards: Digital Isn’t Always Better
We all know that our ever-growing digital society will continue to become more digital. Whether it’s being greeted at your hotel by a reservation computer screen or buying your food at an automated checkout machine, digital signage is here to stay. However, don’t count traditional bulletin boards as obsolete yet. Utilizing traditional bulletin and display boards are an excellent way to advertise and positively contribute to expenditures, operations, and Marketing. Here are several instances where traditional bulletin sign and directory boards are still the way to go:
Solid Branding
Whether if it’s hung over the front window or right outside the entrance, any owner of a sandwich shop, diner, or coffee bar establishment knows that traditional signs do a better job of attracting large amounts of foot traffic. Chalk it up to traditional marketing efforts but there’s something about seeing creative, hand-written “Lunch Specials” that makes the establishment more intriguing. The Black Dry Erase Display Easel by Best-Rite provides a catchy and hard-to-miss visual for both frequent and prospective customers.
Bulletin Boards to Welcome Spring in Elementary Classrooms
With spring upon us and summer just around the corner, now is the time to examine school operations and determine what improvements need to be made with regards to logistics and resources as students will soon be out on summer vacation. Efficiency is always crucial to ensure students are promptly informed and know where to go for events and classroom changes considering the first few days of a new school year are always hectic. A bulletin board that can be easily updated, deployed, and transported ensures students get to where they need to go in a prompt and efficient manner.
When considering a bulletin board for your school, it’s important to examine these several factors to help you pick the right one:
Mobility Matters
Last minute issues occur all the time. Whether it’s one or several classrooms that become instantly uninhabitable due to plumbing, electrical issues or pesticide fumigation, the idea is to have a way to quickly notify students directly about classroom time, location, and event changes on the spot without having to search for a wall-mounted announcement section. The Satin Aluminum Sentry Message Center by Ghent provides a secure and practical bulletin board solution that can be moved to any high foot traffic area for keeping everyone in the loop on changing events.
