Can Digital Menu Boards Boost Sales?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Isn’t that how the phrase goes?

The idiom refers to the idea that a complex concept can be conveyed with a single image. The phrase was used to describe the effectiveness of graphics in advertising in the early 1900’s.

As digital signage continues to enhance marketing strategies in various industries across the globe, the restaurant industry is boasting impressive financial results with eye-popping digital menus.
