Instant Messaging. Long-Term Visibility. Communicate instantly with bright, programmable digital displays.
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.
Why Choose Digital Reader Boards?
Digital reader boards make it easy to update your message instantly with cloud-based software or USB uploads. Their bright LED technology ensures visibility day and night, while real-time scheduling helps you promote events, sales, announcements, or community updates without delay. Because EMCs last for years, they also reduce the ongoing costs of printing and replacing static signage. Our team provides full training, so you’ll be confident in managing your new display from day one.
Applications for EMC Signs
Church reader boards are a popular choice for sharing service times, scripture, and event updates (see more on our Church Signs page). Schools often use digital signs to highlight important dates, alerts, or sports schedules (also see School Signs). Retailers and restaurants rely on them to showcase daily specials, promotions, and holiday hours (explore options under Cabinet Signs). Municipalities and community centers integrate reader boards into their signage to communicate safety messages, announcements, or upcoming events.
Design, Permitting & Installation
We don’t just sell the screens. We design the cabinet housing, manage permitting, and ensure compliance with zoning laws across Cobb, Cherokee, Fayette, and Murray County.

We can seamlessly integrate EMC panels into custom monument signs.

We offer software that allows you to schedule content by time of day or day of the week. Cabinets are built to withstand Georgia’s climate, with weatherproofing and easy service access.
