Electronic Message Centers
An electronic message center (EMC) is a sign that displays words, symbols, figures, or images using LED lights that are electronically changed by remote or automatic means. They allow you to capture the attention of the audience passing by your location on a daily basis and dispense information with messages that are easily changed. These types of signs are also known as electronic message boards and electronic message displays. No matter how you refer to them, these signs are well-known for being flexible, adaptable, dynamic, and most importantly, effective in advertising your business.
EMC signage is an eye-catching way to grab your audience’s attention. They are especially useful for schools, churches, event spaces, or any company with messaging that needs to be consistently updated. Whether you’re sharing simple, single color text messaging or colorful, high-res images, Rite Lite Signs can create an EMC sign that helps your organization achieve your unique business goals.
You may want to consider an EMC sign if your goals are:
Advertising your business – This use of a digital sign not only draws attention to your business, but it also advertises your products and/or services. It can direct viewers to stop in, call, visit your website, and follow you on social media. We recommend the text in this instance to be dynamic, colorful, and attention getting, while still maintaining the clarity of the message.
Advertising multiple businesses – This type of digital signage is very useful for shopping malls, multi-tenant offices, and retail centers that include more than one business. Electronic message boards are typically seen by drivers on busy roads who may have limited time to view the sign, so it’s crucial that the content is concise and easy to read.
Providing information – Your EMC can provide information to your viewers such as emergency information, events, dates, times, and even daily weather updates. Clarity and readability must be the number one priority in this case, so we recommend using simple backgrounds and easy to read, single-color text.
One of the greatest benefits of EMC signs is the wide variety of layout and design options. They come in a range of sizes for indoor and outdoor use, and are made of durable, high-quality material that can withstand various weather conditions, including long-lasting LED bulbs. EMC signs allow you to combine dynamic elements with more permanent, branded signage to send the perfect message to your target audience.
Most EMC signs are either multi-colored displays or tri-color, which is simpler and more affordable. Some EMC signs offer super high resolution, which allow photos and videos to be displayed, while others only allow text messages to be displayed. It is important to consider the viewing angles, pixel resolution, and whether graphical animation is desired when looking at EMC sign options.
Once your electronic messaging center has been installed by Rite Lite Signs, you’ll have the option to share:
- Sales or specials
- Community engagement messages
- Event information
- Awards and recognitions
- Weather and time
- Your coworker’s birthday
- And more!
