Walk into any restaurant, school, church, or retail store in Central Ohio, and you’ll see screens everywhere. Menus, announcements, promotions, and event reminders... the technology is ubiquitous.
At this point, the question isn’t whether digital signage works. The question is: Is your system actually working for you?
At Clearpoint Technology + Design, we specialize in installing digital signage systems that are reliable, easy to manage, and built for the long haul. We’re not talking about a consumer TV on the wall with a USB stick, we’re talking about professional communication tools.
What Exactly Is "Digital Signage"?
Digital signage is a commercial-grade display system used to communicate dynamic content. Unlike printed signs, digital content can be updated instantly and scheduled weeks in advance.
You’ll commonly find these systems in:
Restaurants: Dynamic menu boards that change based on the time of day.
Churches: Lobby welcome areas and service reminders.
Schools: Hallway announcements and safety alerts.
Retail: Real-time promotions and branding.
Corporate Offices: Internal messaging and visitor greetings.
When Is It Time to Upgrade?
If you are managing information that changes frequently or you find yourself reprinting posters every week, it’s time to go digital.
A professional system makes sense when you need:
Consistency: Uniform branding across multiple rooms or locations.
Speed: The ability to push emergency or time-sensitive updates instantly.
Efficiency: Scheduling announcements so your team can "set it and forget it."
The "Done Right" Checklist
Many projects fall short because they use residential hardware for commercial needs.
A professional installation should include:
Commercial-Grade Displays: Rated for 24/7 operation.
Centralized Management: Control every screen from one computer or tablet.
Secure Integration: Network connectivity that won’t compromise your security.
Professional Infrastructure: Clean power, proper mounting, and labeled cabling.
Training: Ensuring your staff knows how to update content on day one.
Common Mistake: Using a consumer-grade TV for all-day operation. These screens aren't built for the heat of continuous use and often lack the brightness needed for commercial environments.
Our Process: Built for Long-Term Support
Digital signage should reduce friction, not create more of it.
Our "Done Right" philosophy follows a simple, proven path:
Listen → Design → Install + Integrate → Equip
We don't just hang a screen and leave. We design a system your team can confidently operate, provide full documentation, and remain available for support long after the installation is complete.

Audiovisual. Network. Security. Done right.
