Metro Atlanta Digital Boards and Message Centers: Marietta Signs

If your business or organization needs to change messaging often, a digital board can be one of the most effective tools you can install. Instead of waiting on new banners or swapping panels, you can update announcements, events, specials, and community messages quickly—without reprinting.

Marietta Signs helps customers across Metro Atlanta plan and install digital boards and message centers that fit the site, visibility needs, and long-term goals of the organization. Digital signage is a bigger investment than traditional signs, so choosing the right solution from the start matters.

Why digital boards work in Metro Atlanta

Metro Atlanta is a high-traffic environment. People are commuting, running errands, and moving between neighborhoods all day. That constant movement creates a strong opportunity for digital messaging—especially for organizations located on busy roads, near shopping centers, or along commuter corridors.

Digital boards are popular for:

• Schools sharing schedules and announcements

• Churches promoting services, events, and community messages

• Municipalities communicating public updates and reminders

• Businesses running frequent promotions or rotating offers

They’re also ideal for time-sensitive messaging like schedule changes, event reminders, enrollment deadlines, and weather or emergency updates.

Over time, a digital board can also reduce printing costs. Instead of ordering new signage for every update, you can refresh content as often as needed.

What a digital board can help you do

A well-planned digital board supports both marketing and communication. It can:

• Promote upcoming events, services, and specials

• Reinforce your brand with consistent colors, logos, and messaging

• Share community information and announcements

• Keep your message relevant by updating content regularly

The key is making sure the board is visible, readable, and correctly specified for where it will be installed.

Choosing the right digital board

Not all digital boards perform the same. The best choice depends on the site and how the sign will be used.

Visibility and viewing distance

How far away will people be when they read it? What is the traffic speed? Are there obstructions like trees, slopes, parked cars, or other signs? These factors determine the right size and message format.

Brightness and lighting conditions

A board that looks fine in one setting may be hard to read in direct sun—or too bright at night—if it isn’t specified properly. Brightness and automatic dimming matter.

Placement and safety

A digital board should be positioned so drivers and pedestrians can see it clearly and safely. Placement affects readability, message timing, and overall effectiveness.

Content goals and complexity

Some organizations need simple text-based announcements. Others want branded slides, images, or more dynamic visuals. The board should match how you plan to use it day to day—not how you might use it “someday.”

Marietta Signs helps Metro Atlanta customers work through these decisions so the final result performs in real conditions, not just on paper.

Planning for content and day-to-day use

A digital board is only as effective as the content you put on it. Before installing a message center, it helps to plan who will manage updates and how often content will change.

We recommend a simple content rhythm, such as:

• Weekly updates for time-sensitive announcements

• Monthly rotation for core messages

• A plan for urgent updates when needed

Clear, readable content wins. If you keep slides simple, high-contrast, and easy to understand, your board will do what it’s supposed to do: communicate quickly.
