Portable Reader Boards Bring Communications Closer

Businesses that are accustomed to the benefits of digital signage in an office or retail setting may regret its loss when they have to make an off-site presentation or appear at some a convention or trade show. A portable reader board is an excellent solution to this problem, offering the same advantages as in-place digital signs while giving a business the ability to take its message on the road.

These displays are appropriate for many different settings, from a trade show booth to a board room. It enables a company to bring the impressive and compelling features of a permanently-mounted reader board—like interactive menu buttons, video clips and more—right to its customer locations.

Portable Reader Boards in Action

A portable reader board can come in many different sizes and configurations. There are sleek, sophisticated models that help sell products and services at an upscale convention. These digital screens might include multi-media presentations and menu options that allow users to work their way down to detailed product descriptions and specifications.

On the other end of the scale are the simpler, message-only digital panels. These displays are most frequently used in front of retail outlets like restaurants or automobile dealerships. But even if the signs don't include sophisticated interactive options, they are much more versatile than traditional versions. They can provide scrolling, flashing images, and text to attract attention. They can feature multiple screens so the owner isn't limited to displaying information about a single product or feature.

Portable displays offer one other advantage. At night, when the convention floor closes or the restaurant closes its doors, they can be moved to a secure location until the next morning. Business owners don't have to worry that vandals will steal or deface the signs while they're away.

The Power behind Portable Reader Boards

Portable signs are only as effective as the software that allows owners to create, schedule, update, and maintain their messages. Four Winds Interactive's content manager and content player software programs are among the best in the digital sign business.

FWi's software is versatile enough to run multiple screens from many different manufacturers. It's flexible enough to operate anything from basic scrolling messages to complex, interactive menus. Most important, it's easy to learn and to operate, so businesses will be able to take the full advantage of their capabilities.
