How Easy Is It to Set Up Your LED Sign? A Step-by-Step Guide Based on a Real Customer Experience
At LED Sign City, we understand that setting up an LED sign might seem like a daunting task, but we’ve made it as simple as possible. In fact, one of our customers, Mr. Dan, recently went through the process of setting up his demo sign with a little guidance. Here’s how easy it is to get your LED sign up and running, and how you can manage it effortlessly with our software.
Step 1: Receiving Your Demo LED Sign
When Mr. Dan received his demo sign, we ensured it came with everything he needed to get started. The sign was a smaller version of the full-size LED sign he was considering, giving him the perfect opportunity to test it out before making a final decision. The setup process was a breeze!
Step 2: Accessing the Website
Mr. Dan and his colleague, Heather, began by visiting our website (LED Sign City). From there, they quickly navigated to the Instant Price Quote section to get an idea of what the full version of their sign would look like. The intuitive layout of our site helped them visualize their sign right from the start.
Step 3: Connecting to the LED Sign
Once they were ready to start testing the sign, we guided them through connecting to it using their phone. The process is simple:
- Open the Wi-Fi settings on your phone.
- Find the sign’s network (listed as “AP” followed by a series of numbers).
- Enter the provided password, which we give to all our customers.
Once connected, Mr. Dan and Heather used the ViPlex Express app, available on both iPhone and Android, to control the sign remotely. No technical expertise required!
Step 4: Creating Content with Ease
One of the most exciting parts of owning an LED sign is designing the content that will be displayed. We showed Mr. Dan how to:
- Add text and media through the ViPlex app.
- Change fonts, colors, and transitions to personalize the sign.
- Set up multiple slides for different messages, such as announcements, events, and more.
We also introduced Mr. Dan and Heather to Canva, a free design tool they can use to create professional-looking slides. Since their organization is a non-profit, they can even access Canva Pro for free! Designing and uploading their content became a seamless process.
Step 5: Managing Your Sign from Anywhere
With the demo sign set up, Mr. Dan and Heather were able to control it both locally (while standing next to the sign) and remotely from any location. By connecting the sign to the internet, they can now:
- Make updates and changes from their office or home.
- Schedule content to display at specific times or days, making it perfect for weekly events, announcements, and special occasions.
This remote management is one of the many features our customers love, as it gives them the flexibility to update their signs without needing to be on-site.
Step 6: The Upgrade Option
Throughout the setup process, we also discussed how easy it is to upgrade their demo sign. At LED Sign City, we offer a promotion that allows customers to upgrade from a lower resolution to a higher one for free, giving you the flexibility to get the best sign for your needs.
Step 7: Ongoing Support and Training
Mr. Dan and Heather loved how simple the sign was to set up, and they appreciated that we were there every step of the way. We offer all customers a full training session after their purchase, ensuring they know how to maximize the potential of their LED sign.
With features like automatic brightness adjustment, detailed scheduling, and the ability to push content live from anywhere, the process couldn’t be easier.
Conclusion: Ready to Set Up Your LED Sign?
As Mr. Dan and Heather discovered, setting up your LED sign doesn’t have to be complicated. With our step-by-step support, user-friendly software, and flexible demo options, you’ll be up and running in no time.
