DIGITAL SIGNAGE & MANAGED SERVICE.
Digital signage provides a variety of benefits for the social housing sector. Replacing the traditional community notice board, these digital solutions clearly communicate important messages to employees, residents and visitors alike.
Our digital signage and managed service packages prevent messages from being drowned out - bringing major improvements to engagement and overall user experience. Here are some of the advantages that digital signage offers your organisation.
IMPROVED COMMUNICATION.
Digital signage offers a variety of improvements over traditional notice boards, making sure that messages are presented clearly. Traditional notice boards quickly become cluttered, with old and outdated information distracting from important news. Not only this, but paper notices can become tattered, damaged or lost over time.
A digital solution addresses all of these issues. Notices are refreshed, ensuring all information is accurate and relevant to the needs of your residents and staff. Layouts remain simple and unobstructed, and additional prominence can be given to important messages.
IMMEDIATE UPDATES.
Digital signage updates at the press of a button, saving time, effort and allowing for real-time edits. Not only this, but digital notices can be updated remotely across any number of sites, allowing you to coordinate and share important messages.
This also allows simple, real-time updates for useful features such as timetables, calendars or weather forecasts. Give your customers access to up-to-the-minute information with digital signage for social housing.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS.
The ability to update digital signage also makes it appropriate for emergency notifications. Communicate important messages in critical situations, ensuring your communities are well-informed at all times.
There's no room for confusion in an emergency situation - make sure your customers get the information they need, communicated clearly with digital signage.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
Digital signage offers greater interactivity than the outdated notice boards of the past, with a range of integration options to foster a greater sense of community. This allows for community engagement through features such as surveys, polls and social media integration.
Not only this, but surveys and polls allow you to interact directly with residents. This offers valuable insights into their experiences and opinions, better enabling you to understand community needs.
PROMOTE AMENITIES.
For housing complexes with facilities such as community rooms, gyms or swimming pools, digital signage is perfect for keeping residents informed. Display opening times, special events, activities and more with digital signage to help your residents get the most from the facilities you provide.
SPECIALISED HARDWARE.
BETTER RESULTS.
For the best possible results, you need the right equipment for the job. Digital signage displays are specialised screens, designed for informational displays in public spaces. They offer various advantages over traditional monitors and TVs when it comes to digital signage applications. These include:
Durability – These screens are built to withstand continuous operation in public spaces. Designed to handle the demands of 24/7 operation, digital display screens will not experience screen burn-in or other issues associated with extended use.
Brightness & Visibility – Our signage screens typically provide higher brightness levels than monitors and TVs. With 4k resolutions and sizes available from 55” to beyond 100”, you’ll ensure greater accessibility and ease of reading.
Narrow Bezels – Signage screens typically feature slim bezels. This allows multiple screens to be tiled together for seamless, visually appealing video walls.
Energy Efficiency – Digital signage screens are designed with energy-efficient components, reducing energy usage and operating costs.
START-TO-FINISH SERVICE.
Overall, digital signage solutions like ours offer a powerful toolset for the housing sector to enhance communication and engage residents. This creates a more efficient and modern living experience for everyone involved.
As part of a managed service, we’re here to help you every step of the way. This ranges from initial project planning and guidance to product aftercare and support. At Social Telecoms, we want to enable better communication between organisations and their residents – as such, our goal is to help you achieve the best possible results.
Here’s a quick outline of our start-to-finish service:
1) PLANNING & CONSULTATION.
We’ll discuss with you to define your project objectives and target audience. Following this, we can determine the type of digital signage technology to best suit your needs, set a budget and build a content plan.
2) DESIGN & CONTENT CREATION.
Following our discussions at the planning stage, we will design an effective layout for your digital signage. Content will be tailored to meet your branding requirements, such as colours, theme and logos. Content will be engaging, visually appealing and – most importantly – effective at communicating your message.
Our content management system is easy to use, with appropriate designs to suit your target audience. We can also update content for special occasions, such as Christmas, Diwali or Easter – or ad hoc throughout the year as you require.
3) SUPPLY & INSTALLATION.
Our trusted engineers will install the screens in your desired location, ensuring they are mounted securely. Digital screens will require an internet connection to receive content updates – which Social Telecoms are also happy to supply.
Additionally, our screens can use WiFi where preferred, preventing any instances of unsightly, exposed cabling.
