Starting off on the right foot means you’re already halfway there.
In digital signage, as in every strategic project – be it internal communication or advertising – the first choices make all the difference.
Digital signage has now demonstrated its effectiveness in both corporate and advertising communication, offering a dynamic and impactful way to capture attention and transmit key messages in real time.
An added value especially in contexts in which advertising must adapt with agility to the target and at the right time.
But behind every successful installation lies meticulous planning and a deep understanding of multiple disciplines.
Trying to improvise or rely on partial skills can easily turn into a path full of sore points: dull screens, irrelevant content, inadequate installations that undermine your brand image and, above all, a significant waste of resources.
Have you ever invested in a promising technology only to see it underused or, worse yet, counterproductive? In the world of digital signage, this scenario is all too common when the complexity of a successful project is underestimated.
It is not simply a matter of hanging a screen and uploading a few images. The true value of digital signage emerges from a thoughtful strategy that integrates spatial architecture, technological infrastructure, intuitive software and, above all, messages that resonate with your audience.
Yet, too often, like larks, we fall into the trap: without experience, we choose and buy the first device found on Google as a result of an effective sponsorship.
Why improvisation doesn’t work: the real risks
In almost all sectors, improvising almost always leads to poor, if not downright damaging, results.
In digital signage, it’s no different. Underestimating the complexity of the project, or making impulsive decisions without specific skills, can turn an opportunity into a problem.
Here are some of the most common (and expensive) mistakes when improvising.
Incorrect shopping list
Buying a large format TV thinking you’ve solved digital signage is one of the most common mistakes. A home television is not a professional display. It has features designed for entertainment in the living room, not for communicating in public environments, perhaps exposed to direct light or active 24 hours a day.
Insufficient brightness, poor durability, limited connectivity: these are just some of the problems.
👉 Moral: if you want to communicate professionally, choose professional tools. Just as you wouldn’t use a butter knife to cut meat in the kitchen, here you can’t rely on the first available screen.
Integration problems or poor placement of devices
A digital signage system only works if hardware and software communicate perfectly.
Choosing a cheap player or unsuitable software leads to content that doesn’t update, screens that have been stuck for weeks, or layouts that don’t adapt to different audiences.
In practice: you’ve installed a visual system… that no one looks at.
Why? Because you can’t change the message based on the time, the point of sale or the target, and each change takes time (and nerves).
Ineffective content
Technology alone is not enough. Even the best display does not work if it transmits generic, boring or out of context messages.
Viewers want to be involved, informed, guided. And in the case of advertising messages, also inspired by action.
If the content is not designed for that place, that moment and that person, it will be ignored. Or worse, it will annoy.
Digital signage is not an electronic billboard, it is an active and advertising communication channel. It must be treated with care and strategy.

Complicated management
A system that seems cheap but requires a thousand steps for each update is not a deal: it is a brake.
A good digital signage project must be easy to manage, remotely updatable, scalable and responsive.
Otherwise, you find yourself having to call support to change your opening hours or having to make a thousand USB copies to update content in multiple locations.
Lack of measurable results
Without an initial strategy and without analysis tools, you can’t know if your investment is working, especially if your goal is to generate advertising or commercial impact.
What content converts the most? What is ignored? In which time slots do you get the most attention?
Without data, you are simply broadcasting messages into the void.
In essence, in digital signage – as in many other areas – improvising means spending more, getting less, and often having to start all over again.
A winning project starts with an analysis, with clear objectives, with solutions designed to work in your specific context.
And it relies on professionals who know how to guide you in the right choice.
Beyond mere arrangement: installation as an integrated design element
When conceiving a digital signage project, it is essential to transcend the simplistic notion of “hanging a screen”.
Installation is not a mere functional act, but rather an intrinsic design element that significantly contributes to the overall perception and communicative effectiveness of the intervention.
Similarly to how attention to construction detail defines the spatial quality of an architecture, the precision and cleanliness of the digital signage installation determine its visual impact and ability to integrate harmoniously with the context.
A neglected installation, with exposed wiring, inadequate supports or approximate positioning, generates a visual dissonance that compromises the communicative intent and diminishes the value of the content conveyed.
On the contrary, a meticulous execution, which considers the aesthetics of the connections, the concealment of the technical elements and the precise alignment of the displays, transforms the installation itself into an element of visual attraction.
The link between digital signage and brand identity is also evident in these details, helping to strengthen the perception of professionalism and care of the brand.
