How To Use Your Digital Map For Digital Signage

Mountain and ski resorts must enhance the guest experience by providing breathtaking views, top-notch trails, snow conditions, and seamless guest communication. 

One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through digital signage around the resort so guests can easily find and consume the latest news and information.

With a live digital 2D or 3D map built by Spotlio, managing digital displays at your mountain has never been easier.

What is a Digital Map Based Signage?

Digital mapping based digital signage refers to the use of integrations to control and display content and real-time information on digital screens. Instead of requiring complex hardware setups, this method allows businesses to turn any screen with an internet connection into a dynamic digital sign.

Benefits of Using Live Maps for Digital Signage

• Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive digital signage hardware.
• User-Friendly: Leverages familiar mobile interfaces for easy content management.
• Flexibility: Update content on the go, automatically from anywhere with internet access.
• Real-Time Updates: Instantly push new content to your displays. Remote Management from Anywhere with integrations.

One of the biggest advantages of using a Spotlio Digital Map for resort signage is its remote management capabilities. Whether you're on-site at the mountain resort or away on a business trip, you can manage all your screens remotely. All you need is your phone (depending on what provider you use at the resort).

With Remote Management, you Can:

• Control multiple digital signs spread across various locations of your resort.
• Update screens in your lobby, restaurants, ski lifts, and spa from a single interface.
• There is no need for complicated hardware or physical presence—simply tap into your provider to update or change content on the go.

Here’s how your resort can use its digital map for resort signage to keep its guests informed, entertained, and engaged.

How to Implement Live Map Digital Signage

• Select Your Spotlio Created Digital Map: Select the digital map that suits your needs and is compatible with your devices.
  • The map designed by Spotlio is a link. It's like a live interactive map and the info within it gets updated via integrations.

Combine the flexibility of live information technology with the visual impact of digital displays to create a powerful tool for communicating and advertising directly to your guests.

Real-Time Communication Strategy

• Display current weather conditions, avalanche warnings, or trail closures.
• Show live feeds from ski slopes, hiking trails, or scenic viewpoints, giving guests a real-time look at the conditions.
• Offer digital maps to help guests navigate the resort, find specific locations, or explore different areas with ease.
• Encourage guests to share their own experiences by displaying a live social media wall showcasing tagged posts with your resort’s hashtag.

Real-Time Advertising Opportunities

• Promote real-time event schedules, ski or board contests, live music by the fireplace, or spa specials for the non-skiers.
• Display rotating promotions of your resort’s top amenities, such as ski rentals, spa treatments, guided hikes, or fine dining experiences.
• Inform guests about dining specials, happy hours, or newly available services.
• Notify guests of special resort events, from live music performances to bonfires.
• Show daily or weekly event lineups to help guests plan their day.
• Share key resort information, such as quiet hours, safety guidelines, or shuttle schedules, all in one place.
• Maybe the most important promotion of all, promote your mobile app. Encourage guests to download your mobile app to stay up to date with the resort year-round.

Using Live Digital Mapping For Digital Signage Example

One of our customers, La Molina, has sent us photos of one of our maps running on an exterior large-screen display. As they prepare for the upcoming ski season they were looking for a way to show the real-time trail maps with a broader audience. They decided to push the 2D map that Spotlio designed for their mobile app on the large screen display in one of their parking lots for more guests to have real-time trail information. 

La Molina is Spain’s oldest ski resort with the first ski lift opening in February 1943, in Girona, Catalonia.
