With so many solid digital signage technologies to choose from, why choose Amazon? Let’s go over some of the Amazon Fire Stick's benefits:
At $54.99 per Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Amazon Fire Sticks are one of the least expensive options for any school or organization looking to design a digital signage system. Most digital signage media players range between $250 - $1,000 which can be a budget buster.
As Amazon Fire TV Stick improves every year and with its <$100 price range, stick-style media players are definitely going to shake up the digital signage world going forward. Chances are we’ll be seeing a lot more small HDMI plug in play style media players in the coming years.
The Amazon Fire Stick is relatively small in size. It’s designed to plug into the HDMI port of a TV or digital signage display. This is advantageous when it comes time to install your digital signage system because traditionally, digital signage media players tend to get stowed in cabinets or above ceiling tiles.
The small size of the Amazon Fire Stick and ease of installation is a godsend for IT staff as it makes it much simpler to set up and requires fewer hours of work. An equally important benefit is it reduces the need for IT staff to need ladders during installation. Fewer ladders mean fewer workplace injuries - which makes it a no-brainer for all departments involved.
No mice. No keyboards. One wire.
Traditional digital signage media players come with several components. For installation teams this has always translated into more installation time, equipment management, and packaging to deal with.
IT staff love the simplicity of the Amazon Fire Stick and the quality it provides. You’ll never hear technicians complaining about less “stuff” to keep track of. Plus, less cardboard and plastic is simply a better environmental footprint!
Amazon products are manufactured with a high level of quality and rarely have failure issues. This is important because most digital signage campaigns run 24/7, 365 days a year. It’s important that any digital signage hardware you choose is high quality because it will save time and money in the long run. Remember: A large organization that begins to experience faulty digital signage hardware will end up multiplying their technician hours and equipment costs quickly. It’s imperative that quality equipment is procured from the onset.
