Digital Reader Boards
Instant Messaging. Long-Term Visibility.
Digital reader boards — also known as Electronic Message Centers (EMC signs) — are one of the most dynamic tools for communicating with your audience. Whether you're promoting events, service hours, daily specials, or community updates, EMC signs allow you to change your message as often as needed — remotely, and in real time.
At Marietta Signs, we help businesses, schools, churches, and municipalities across Marietta, Metro Atlanta, Dalton, Fayetteville, and all of North Georgia design and install high-visibility digital signage that gets noticed.
