So, there is especially … a lot of talk around the ability to change signs remotely and not have to be on-site to do that or require a bunch of staff to go in,” said Pisano.

And compared to static signage, digital offers something much more rewarding, added Jensen. “There’s a big ticket item as far as going with live instead of static, but there’s a lot more return to it, and that’s going to be a lot more captivating just because of the image quality we can get on large displays now, versus what we had before,” said Jensen.
