Electronic Message Centers for Wisconsin Businesses
Make your location easier to notice and your message easier to change. The Burrow helps Wisconsin businesses plan outdoor LED signs and electronic message centers around their site, audience and goals.
What is an electronic message center?
An electronic message center (EMC) is a programmable LED sign that can display changing announcements, graphics and promotions. Instead of replacing a printed sign face whenever information changes, your team can prepare new messages for different times, events and seasons.
It can help a roadside location share timely offers, hours and community updates. The right size, brightness and placement depend on how people approach the property and on local sign rules.
Useful for many types of locations
Retail stores, restaurants, car dealerships, schools, churches, municipalities and service businesses can each use an EMC for different messages. These are possible applications, not claims that The Burrow has installed signs for every sector.
Choose a format for your property
Outdoor LED signs
Full-color roadside displays can show changing messages where drivers and pedestrians will see them. Screen size, brightness, viewing distance and mounting should be reviewed together.
Digital monument signs
An LED display can be planned as part of a ground-level monument sign with a permanent business identity. Site layout and sign regulations shape the design.
Custom and indoor options
Ask about integration with an existing structure or a display for an interior venue. Feasibility and available formats require a review of the project.
