Soofa Sign Features to Elevate Large Events
Events at a large scale often require extensive planning, communication efforts, and on-site organization to ensure people are safe and that the event runs smoothly. There are various tools and technology in place meant to help make this possible like posters, staff, mobile apps and more, but they can fall short depending on the size and conditions of the event. Enter Soofa Signs, the solar-powered, flexible communication platform designed to make event information more accessible than ever. Here are some Soofa Sign features that take the stress out of running or attending a large event.
Real-Time Information
Soofa Signs are designed to be updated frequently with relevant content and information. With the help of our online platform Soofa Talk, new uploaded content can be displayed quickly and easily. For example, if an event has a last minute location change or weather update, Soofa Signs can display this information, ensuring it reaches whoever passes by. For example, during the kickoff weekend for Premier Lacrosse League, they used Soofa Signs to share tweets and social media posts in real time with guests. Including updated information increases visitor engagement during events and keeps people knowledgeable about potential event changes.
Wayfinding
One of the biggest challenges with holding large events is communicating specific locations and ensuring people don’t get lost. A traditional way to do this is to provide a paper map pamphlet or display a poster. With Soofa Signs, wayfinding maps can live on the back of the signs in static vinyl wrap, and be shared digitally via a QR code or through a Soofa Sign widget. Providing a map digitally also allows the map to be updated with last minute changes and creates a more interactive user experience.
Low Carbon Footprint
Almost all large events lead to significant carbon emissions, with factors like electricity levels, trash, merchandise, decorations, single use plastics, and more. Considering how much energy and time is needed to execute an event itself, it’s less likely event planners are considering environmentally friendly on-site technology. With Soofa, signs are 100% solar-powered and are simply placed on a weighted metal stand. Easy installation also means flexibility with placement around events, allowing staff to move Soofa Signs to their perfect locations.
Emergency Information
A limitation with traditional communication methods at large events is the lack of cell phone service. If attendees are low on cell phone battery or have no cell service, event information becomes inaccessible, risking attendee confusion and loss of direction. With Soofa being solar-powered and battery operated, visitors can happily enjoy events knowing they’ll have access to the most important information whenever they need it.
Examples of emergency information can be providing direction on where medical tents are, where to find security, lost and found, or important notifications about weather conditions or accessibility options.
Overall, with these Soofa Sign features and more, large events can be executed worry free, knowing important information is readily available no matter the conditions. To learn more about bringing your Soofa Signs to your next event, email hi@soofadigital.com.
