Your lobby is not just a place where people walk past; it is the first image they receive of your environment. Transforming this area into a welcoming yet not hostile environment can influence their entire experience. Digital lobby signage, especially with the addition of the Interactive Library app, makes this transformation easier.
What is digital lobby signage?
Digital lobby signage utilizes screens and other displays to communicate, inform, and entertain visitors. It’s not just about replacing old signs with dynamic ones; it’s about engaging people.
This can be even better and more interactive to bring even better impact.
The interactive library app
Here comes the Interactive Library app, Yodeck latest addition, available for Premium and Enterprise users. Create a curated list of content assets—like playlists, apps, layouts, and media—that viewers can browse and interact with directly on the screens.
For example:
- Office lobbies can display building directories or departmental updates.
- Hotel lobbies can segment content by language or provide wayfinding tools.
- Gym lobbies can engage members with workout videos and class schedules.
Each section in the app, such as “Guest services” or “Building directory,” can contain relevant documents, images, and playlists, simplifying how information is shared. The app also supports interactive tools like Power BI and Tableau, making it suitable for many use cases.
How digital signage works
The beauty of digital signage lies in its flexibility and interactivity. These screens display different types of content. In a hotel lobby, for example, digital displays can guide guests with information about local attractions, room services, or dining options. In an office setting, they can showcase departmental updates, meeting schedules, or HR announcements—all easily navigable by employees and visitors.
