Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many fears and uncertainties that are outside of our control. We are worried about our families, friends, job stability, and our economy. In times like these, it is important to focus on the things that we can control. We can spend more time with our families, think of creative ways to reach out to family and friends, or even find new ways to connect and interact with customers. One of Electro-Matic's billboard customers, Ohio Outdoor, has done just that.

LED screens for churches have turned out to be gradually popular recently as many have decided to upgrade their spaces by installing LED video walls in their sanctuaries. These video walls enable church leaders to share customized videos, images, and text (such as worship lyrics or scripture), live feeds, and other content such as messages and news. Churchgoers have actively participated in worship through additional visual features during services.

Within the evolving trend of digital advertisement, there are various purposes for LED signage, especially when it comes to schools and universities. In the world of education, communication is critical. Digital signage is replacing old-school academic signs in school systems’ overall communications platforms. However, LED school signs do more than just display mere text and video. Digital school signage ultimately creates an active network of parents, students, teachers, staff, and the general public within the community. Schools serve as beacons of their communities while being a community within itself, where various activities take place and loads of announcements occur at any given time. The content can be a mixture of entertainment, school news and events, local information and more.

There are various advantages to utilizing LED technology to advertise business. When compared to traditional fluorescent signs, LED displays are ultimately less expensive to maintain, the lighting lasts longer, and you could have ads appear as text, images, or video. LED signs can also be installed in a variety of locations and different surfaces. It is already known that a well-designed sign can boost revenue and lead to your business’s success. According to studies conducted by the Small Business Association, with LED signage, businesses increase from 15% to 150% within the first year. However, no one wants a generic, static sign outside their establishment (yes, LED signs can be used the incorrect way). If done correctly, your LED sign can have attention-grabbing power that will immediately draw the eyes of passerby.

As a consumer, whether it be shopping or grabbing a bite to eat, do you think you would be drawn towards the establishment with a barely noticeable, bland, droopy vinyl banner? Or would you prefer the establishment with a nice LED electronic message board (EMC)?
