Reception welcome screen, on site
Our reception has a TV on the wall that nobody ever updates.
Our reception has a TV on the wall that nobody ever updates.
A reception screen is often the first thing a visitor sees, and an old slide or a blank input message says more than anyone intends. We check whether the existing screen suits signage, which often depends on whether it can switch on and off by schedule and recover after a power cut. If not, we recommend a commercial display that can. Input and power settings are checked too.
What the technician does
- Check the existing screen or install a commercial display
- Connect a signage player and load welcome content
- Schedule visitor welcomes, news and notices
Ask reception to own the content - a screen updated regularly gets noticed.
About reception welcome screen
We connect a signage player, set up templates for welcome messages, company news, safety notices and visitor information, and schedule the screen to turn on and off with office hours. Reception staff are shown how to add a named welcome for a visitor arriving that day, so the screen becomes a useful part of the front desk. A simple template keeps new slides consistent with your branding.
What usually causes it
- The reception TV shows the same content for months
- The screen loses settings after power cuts
- Visitors need wayfinding or sign-in information
- The business wants to show news or achievements to visitors
Before we arrive
- Where each screen will go and who will view it
- Your logo, images or video for the first content
- Network access details for the media players
- The name of whoever will update the content
What a visit looks like
When you book reception welcome screen, you tell us what's going on and we reply with a time that suits you and a price. Nothing starts until you're happy with both.
On the day, the technician arrives, looks at the problem in person and confirms the plan with you before starting. If something turns out different from what was expected - a part is needed, or the cause is somewhere else - we stop and agree the change with you first.
When the work is done we test it with you, show you what was changed, and leave the area tidy. For business jobs we note what we did, so there is a record for whoever looks after your IT next.
Pricing
Each reception welcome screen job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
There is no contract and no monthly fee. You book the job you need and pay for that job.
Reception welcome screen: questions
Can we use the TV we already have?
Possibly. We check whether it can be controlled reliably by a signage player. Many consumer TVs work for light use but do not handle long hours as well.
Can it show live content like news or weather?
Most signage software supports live feeds such as weather, news headlines or a company social media feed alongside your own slides. Feeds update on their own once set up.
Do you do reception welcome screen on site?
Yes. We come to businesses and homes across Auckland and Hamilton and do the work where the equipment is.
How much does reception welcome screen cost?
It depends on what's involved. Tell us about the job on the form and we'll confirm the price before any work starts.
