10 GREAT REASONS TO HIRE DIGITAL SIGNAGE IN PERTH
When a business or organisation needs to promote their brand and/or services, look no further than a smart digital signage hire option. More than ever, businesses are turning to hiring digital signage hardware, rather than buying them outright. This can be a useful ‘toe dip’ into the new world of digital signage before making a major investment, and is a great way to learn the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of this new technology.

What Type of Digital Signage is right for my Business? 
There are a few options to consider that are easy, have great versatile technology and are easy to integrate into a function, event, conference or product launch.

• interactive touchscreen kiosk;
• wall mounted display screen - non-touch;
• trolley mounted display screen - non-touch 
• self standing table - small 
• large interactive table

See the full range below.

​But Why would you Hire Digital Signage?
Need more convincing? We’ve compiled 10 great reasons to hire rather than buy:-

1. Save Money & Space: Hiring means you get the latest equipment without having to buy or store it. Better still, you can get the job done safely and correctly, with the right tool. You could even think of it as … try before you buy!
2. All the latest Technology:  Avoid the pitfalls of old, worn-out equipment — you’ll get the newest equipment from the best brands in the business. And we clean, service and test everything, so it’s in good working order … all the time.
3. Be Worry Free: We’ll choose the right tool for the right job, you can be sure of it. No need for you to guess — we’re trained specialists who make it our job to solve your problems.
4. Delivery is a Breeze:  Want a kiosk or touchscreen now? We’ve got it. It’s available right now. And we’ll deliver it to you, exactly when you need it. You can expect exceptional service all day, every day — 7 days a week, 363 days a year.
5. Simple Cost Control:  We take care of license fees, depreciation or capital tied up when you hire — your cost control is simplified. And your business hires are tax deductible, putting cash back in your pocket.
6. No waiting around: Customers are everything to us, so expect responsive service. You’ll be walked through how to use the touchscreen, shown its safe usage and content management. That means we can be in-and-out as quick as you want … but without scrimping on service!
7. We’ll choose the right digital device for the right job. No need for you to guess — we’re trained specialists who make it our job to solve your problems

9. Save the Environment: Hiring instead of buying means there’s less equipment being produced … making it one of the best ways to reuse and recycle. It feels good when you’re doing your bit for the earth.
10. Our & Your Reputation: We have an excellent reputation for delivering on our promises so we can ensure that your brand, marketing, event or show is in safe hands.  Your reputation is also enhanced as clients perceive your company as very forward thinking, especially as they are investing in new digital signage technology – customers like being associated with a forward thinking company.

This large sign (photographed below) has been under construction in our workshops. It's quite hard to recognise it as a sign based on the photo below! Taken as a shot of the internal section of the sign, the inside has literally been 'lit up' with hundreds of LEDs. Using a side lit LED pattern our objective was to create an even light across all the surfaces of the sign. Due to their compact size, the LED's are able to align perfectly to illuminate this structure and infinite shapes of indoor and outdoor commercial signage.

LED's provide a brilliant, energy-efficient illumination that will last for many years without much maintenance or updating. Typically they come in LED strips which are thin, flexible, and come with adhesive backing, meaning they can be bent to follow various curves and angles of a sign.

​With optional IP weatherproofing, LED strip lights are also resistant to water and dust.

There comes a time when all signage needs a face-lift. Whether for purely cosmetic reasons, or related to logistics or upgrades in technology, most things in life need a bit of an upgrade every now and then. And digital signage is no different.

In the fast paced world of digital signage, advances in technology happen at quite a pace. Recent trends include major improvements in the screen market  - with much sleeker screens now available that increasingly looking like they 'belong' in an environment. The Yap! team keep at the forefront of the curve, with our team always seeking industry 'firsts' or new products to take to our clients. When needed our team can 'deconstruct' existing digital signage to ensure the most modern, up to date technology is used.

We're noticing that the current trend is to align the overall look and feel of touchscreens. With well designed framing or housings digital signage can go beyond the typical 'rectangular' screen. Think multi-shaped - such as circle, square, curved - with framing made out of glass, brass and everything in between! Let's face it, a good-looking screen will definitely add to the general aesthetics of a location and a few examples of how this has been used dramatically are shown below:
​
- projection mapping at St Louis Union
- curved digital signage at Piccadilly Lights in London
- brass finished framing and curved video wall at Yagan Square, Perth

Similarly there have been major improvements in the LEDs so that they are brighter and higher quality. Refitting modern, new-age LEDs is quite a common way that we are asked to deconstruct and upgrade digital signage.

Sometimes it's not the technology that dictates a digital signage upgrade. At the Perth Airport site on the key trunk road in and out of the airport, the ongoing redevelopment of the Airport precinct required the existing digital sign to be extended out to cater for transport network upgrades. When roads need to widen or traffic flows altered, that is a major project as in the APN sign that Yap!digital widened in recent times. The digital tiles were removed and reinstated as part of the project. ​

​The installation of the new APN Greenwood digital pylon on the Mitchell Freeway in December 2018 saw the culmination of over a year’s planning for this major WA project. Signs & Lines' digital division, Yap!digital, provided a turnkey solution for this project including the manufacture, traffic management, installation and commissioning of the digital component.

As the first of eight pylons planned by Main Roads along the Mitchell Freeway, this giant electronic billboard is positioned in the most optimal location for maximum exposure for car traffic heading into Perth city.

Main Roads generate outdoor advertising revenue from the dynamic digital creative, which is in turn is used to fund road projects and upgrades.

​Follow the link to read our Case Study on this iconic project.

Signs & Lines and the Yap!digital team were involved from the outset with design and methodology for the build and install of the landmark pylon just after Greenwood Station heading southbound. The 12.5 metre wide sign face is positioned over 5 metres above ground level on a 9 metre header pole for maximum visibility to vehicle traffic. In total, the signboard offers 40 square meters of outdoor advertising brand awareness!
​
Manufacture of the steel structures involved structural and architectural drawings detailing how the Included in the specifications were details about surface treatment, camera support, fall arrest line inside vertical ladder access and aluminium ladder inside sign to access cabinets.

Careful planning of the installation of the pole and header sections was required to minimise disruption to the Mitchell Freeway traffic. Despite the scale of the sign, all elements were pre-made in house and took only 1 day to install. No lanes of the Freeway needed be closed, just the emergency lane had to be closed with bump trucks.

​Whether you need inspiration, design assistance or help managing a new wayfinding signage project, the team at Signs & Lines and Yap!digital can take your signage from drab to fab! Our service includes creating a strategy and integrated plan that will boost brand awareness and enhance your professional image.

With tens of thousands of people coming and going throughout hotels every year, what are the key ingredients to your patrons enjoying the hotel and the hotel engaging with them at the same time? One of the answers to this is wayfinding signage.

When guests are unfamiliar with the hotel space it’s essential that the signage provided is clear and helpful. Our recent works at the Ingot Hotel on Perth's busy airport/city corridor on the Great Eastern Highway, allowed us to demonstrate our expertise in this hospitality environment.​

For Ingot Hotel the signage suite included the following types of signage:

• Main building sign – the main logo ID for the hotel;
• Welcome pylon signage – in reception and parking areas;
• Illuminated bulkhead signage – illuminated over main entrance & restaurant;
• Internal – wall signage at reception, bars & restaurants and floor directories;
• Directional room & door numbers – identifying each room, amenities or guest area;
• Glazing decals – for glass areas with stencil cut out detail;
• Statutory signage – compliance for fire, doors & braille amenities;

 
This list can be extensively added to through digital signage which offers guests interactive, touchscreen or display information relating to events, special offers, what’s on in Perth, news, weather and a range of other useful information.
