Tips for programming your real estate digital sign.
Thinking about the time of day the message is being splashed for passing motorists and how fast they are traveling. Make believe you are in one of those cars whizzing by. "Talk", reach out to that one person to make it personal and one on one.
A giant billboard or entire building lit up with LED lighting displays seen for miles around is not programmed the same as your much smaller real estate office sign display. Blip. You have only seconds to connect to make a lasting impression.
Old English font is probably not the one to select for your digital real estate sign display.
The color and size of your digital font and background better work together for a crystal clear visibility appearance. Keep it simple, remember no one's eyesight is improving. And speed, 25, 35, 55 miles per hour all say "make it snappy".
Confusion is the last thing you want to create for the "10" and "2" hands on the wheel, belted in tightly motorist zipping by your real estate office.
You have invested tens of thousands of dollars into your shiny new digital real estate sign and fresh new programming is essential.
Rotate in and out new listings, local news, a little branding plug or two. But make it worthwhile in whatever your LED display serves up to catch the sideways glance from your motoring audience.
Static images can make your LED digital sign programming look flat and weak.
Video loops if not too busy or flashy can add spark and excitement delivering your electronic messaging out front of your real estate agency.
Your transition from message to message presentation should not be sharp or jarring.
Sublte motion between and during slides adds sparkle. Animation makes it like a mini movie message.
If you implement video for real estate already, shoot hyper local snippets to weave into your LED marketing message.
Check with local digital sign ordinances for your community.
