LED Signs Generate Business
WHY ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTERS?
More than just a sign…it’s a business builder!Grow your business? In this economy?
Right now, growth is probably the last thing on your mind. Survival is the new business strategy. But rather than cut back and trim down, why not take this as an opportunity to re-prioritize –especially when it comes to your advertising budget?
Traditional media like print and broadcast are shrinking in influence, and rising in cost. Instead of paying over and over for an ad that might or might not be noticed or heard, you may want to consider the power of electronic message centers — an on-premise advertising solution that you pay for once, but lasts for years!
According to a study by the Small Business Administration, EMCs have been reported to generate a 15% to 150% increase in sales.
What does this really mean? Consider a modest business that might bring in 1,000 per day in revenue. Add in the minimal 15% increase in sales that an EMC has been shown to deliver, imagine the results: an extra $150 per day, $1,050 a week, $54,600 a year. What other investment can you think of that covers its cost in just one year?
Instant Marketing
Versatility is what gives EMCs the winning edge. Adaptive’s intuitive Ooh!Media software makes it easy for you to quickly change your message to capitalize on sudden opportunities (“Snow is on the Way – Gas up Now!”), or schedule promotions around times of the day or holidays.
No more waiting for the next paper to come out, or for a banner to come back from the printer: this is instantaneous communication!
Reach today’s on-the-go buyer!
Do you know how many people drive by your business every day? If you’re on a major street or visible from the highway, that could be tens of thousands, and every one is a potential customer.
Adaptive is the answer
When it comes to electronic message centers, Adaptive knows the technology like no one else. Our business is to get people into your business, and for over 30 years, that’s been our focus.

Big Screen Solutions
Dynamic outdoor systems integrating full video playback into scoreboard and concert displays are now within reach for a whole new level of users, thanks to Adaptive Micro Systems’ affordable line of full color LED displays.
All of Adaptive Micro Systems’ Excite and MEDIA Master products are capable of supporting live video and video replay. In fact, our displays provide the most cost effective large format solutions available on the market today.
Engineered for reliability and energy efficiency, Adaptive LED displays will work in all applications, ranging from live-feed video screens at concerts and special events to more complex situations such as broadcasting instant replays in sports stadiums. When integrated into several types of configuration solutions, our displays can easily handle complex setups involving multiple combinations of various inputs and split screen displays from several video sources.
Suggested Configurations
- This configuration represents a fully capable system that is also very affordable. If you have a video console, a DVR, a DVD, and a camera or cameras, all you need to do is to add a low cost interface to a standard Adaptive video-capable display. This is the type of system used in today’s most modern high school and college football stadiums.
- Working with a tight budget? This diagram shows the lowest cost configuration. With only a PC, a camera or cable connection, and a simple low cost interface box, you can show live video and instant video replay. With this setup, you have almost all of the capabilities of major league sports stadiums — for little more than the cost of the Adaptive display!
- Have a more ambitious project in mind? This diagram outlines a configuration that can compete head to head with video replay systems that cost tens of millions of dollars. If you are wondering how you can win large scale, fixed priced stadium jobs, integrating an Adaptive LED display into a video setup can be the key to a lucrative and exciting new income stream.
