The advantages of a digital window display for your tourist information centre
There are many advantages to having a digital window display, not least of which is boosting your visibility so that you can reach more tourists.
More and more users are researching their trips and what they can do in your destination. That’s why having a solid and engaging online presence is essential.
A digital window display is another way to underscore your centre’s credibility and authority. If your website is well designed and packed with useful information, visitors will be more likely to trust your tourist centre and recommend it to other travellers.
Another advantage of having a digital window display is that it can improve your search engine rankings. If your website is optimised, it is more likely to rank higher on a search engine results page about your destination.
Some of the biggest advantages include:

. Authority: Boost your reputation, and be creative. Tourists will appreciate all the information you provide in the form of videos, creating a stand-out experience.
. Cost savings: The upfront investment in a digital window display may seem like a lot. The maintenance cost afterwards, however, is negligible.
. Other advantages: There is no need for construction work because the system is installed inside the centre, which also reduces any potential vandalism to a minimum.
Tips for raising the visibility of a digital window display

The future of interactive window displays in tourism
Digital window displays are set to become an increasingly popular feature of tourism marketing in the future. With more people searching for travel information online, having a strong and engaging online presence is vital.
In short, a digital window is a valuable tool for increasing the visibility of your tourist information centre in the digital age. From optimising your website for search engines to creating engaging and relevant content,
you’ll be able to draw more tourists to your centre, show them quality content, and most importantly, analyse all the data you collect to gain insights about what mattered most once they leave the destination.
How to install an interactive window display
Before you turn your attention to the installation, you’ll first have to look at the window you want to use for the interactive window display and take photos of both the inside and outside. You’ll also have to:
1. Measure the width and height of the glass to determine the size and position of the monitor.
2. Also measure heights and interior and exterior differences so that we can choose the right support for the monitor.
3. Make sure that the monitor is at the eye level of visitors using the display from outside the centre, and that there is approximately 1.50 metres between the monitor’s midpoint and the floor.
4. Finally, figure out the power and data supply and we’ll start designing the vinyl that covers the monitor frame with your logo.
It is installed on the back of the glass of the windows, that is, on the side of the glass facing inside. Installation does require certain conditions, however:
. The glass cannot have an air chamber, also called Climalit glass.
. . The glass can’t be thicker than 12/14 mm.
. The monitors installed can’t be plasma and have to be equipped with LED or LCD technology.
Preparation and cleaning the interactive window display
Keeping the window clean will be imperative when setting up your interactive window display, so make sure the window where the device is installed is spotless; don’t forget the other side!
You can use a glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol to give it a final clean. The next step is to mark the position of the display and the vinyl frame (using masking tape, for example) at the right level and height, particularly from the outside.
You should also keep in mind that if the window glass is hot from the sun, you will have to add a few drops of pH neutral soap to the distilled water or it will stick too quickly.
Other issues to keep in mind:
Don’t forget to check the temperature of the glass and the distilled water; too much of a contrast could break the glass. Use a spray bottle to apply a layer of water to the glass and then remove it with the scraper.
Reapply a layer of water on the glass and peel the vinyl from the its backing while spraying water on the adhesive side.
Then, place the vinyl on the glass using the marks made as a guide. Spray the vinyl again and use the scraper to apply light pressure from top to bottom. It’s imperative not to twist or damage the vinyl piece.
Finally, once the vinyl is in the right position, remove any extra water.
