The Role of LED Signs in Managing Client Wait Times

Falling in line doesn’t have to be dull, thanks to digital signages.

While there are certainly worse things than standing in a queue, we’re pretty sure it’s not high up on anyone’s list of favorite things to do. It is, however, a natural part of society in an effort to keep things orderly. They don’t have to be tedious exercises that people just have to put up with though. Entrepreneurs and managers can do things to make the waiting game more tolerable with the use of LED signages.

For retail shops

Having a hit product is what every business owner aspires for. We see it from time to time on the news ─ the long lines snaking down the street of people waiting for the LED open signs to light up and signal the start of a big sale or the release of a new book. As good as that situation is for the store’s earnings, things can get easily heated and rowdy if lines are not managed properly. At this point, LED signs can be tapped to maintain order by telling people where they can sit or stand, even how many people can enter the establishment at a time.

Aside from maintaining order, these digital devices can be used to entertain the people that are waiting in line. They are also great as marketing tools to be used for branding and promotional efforts.

For food establishments

One type of business establishment that gets a lot of use for LED signs are food establishments. They have been used for so long as a communication platform in places like restaurants, bars, and cafes. The food industry owes a lot to LED sign manufacturers as their products are tapped to call out awaiting customers, display the menu, as well as announce in-house events and sale promos.

For service providers

At one point or another, all of us have been inside a government agency’s building waiting to have something processed or have lined up to get a haircut. A lot of waiting goes on in those places, making them prime spots for LED signs. 

Digital boards can be used to indicate the process for securing permits and whatnot at government agencies. They can also be used to promote programs while people wait for their turn. Likewise, in institutions such as hospitals, LED platforms can be used to establish a queuing call-out system as patients wait for their turn. During actual medical procedures, they can be used to provide information to the patient’s companions.
