The system should have easy to use control software with built in features such as scrolling and blinking messages and a time and temperature display. It should also allow you to preview both individual messages and your whole display queue without forcing you to show the world your half-finished ads by running them on the display. The message should be able to be changed from inside your business, or the system should be configured so that “headquarters” can change the message at each store.
Learning how to program an electronic message center is not hard.
Most good manufacturers have teaching CD’s in addition to Technical Assistance.
Many have telephone training included as part of their package.
Signs Manufacturing is particularly adept at these systems, and helps our customers until they no longer need us.
Then we come back when they find they were premature.
Most important in an investment of this size is product support. The electronic message center manufacturer must be large and dedicated enough that they will continue to support their products with parts. Technical support must be easily available and there must be no limit to your access to it. Even after you have become an expert, and years later, you might have difficulty programming a new-look message. Make certain your electronic message center manufacturer and installer will be there to help you 24 hours a day.
"Our (old) electronic message centers (purchased from a different company) were nightmares. Even though they were only 2 years old the manufacturer refused to service them. Your new signs, and your service, have been exceptional."
