Media Signage, a provider of enterprise-level digital signage for small and medium businesses, today announced the release of its subscription-based content creation and content scheduling service. According to the company, the service offers an added benefit to the company's current free and paying users around the globe. For $50 a month users will have access to templates created and scheduled within the SignageStudio.

The company recently added several designers to its internal staff, to assist new customers on single, one-off content design projects for smaller projects. The company said positive feedback for these services has been substantial. "Our content creation and management team grew direct from the demands of our customers," CEO Sean Levy said in the announcement. "The reason for our latest foray into content-as-a-service is simply an extension of the increased demand for a full end-to-end service for our customers."

The company's content-as-a-service offering is designed to allow customers to scale their content needs as demand grows. Each month, users can elect to subscribe for the $50 per month for a new template, layout, upload and scheduling of their created content assets. If they need more than this for the month, clients can opt for multiple subscriptions, the company said. For instance, if a customer owned five separate restaurants in different locations with different prices and menu items and wanted the MediaSignage content team to create and manage new content updates once a month, the user could purchase five monthly subscriptions at $50 each. If more regular content creation and templates were needed per month, the same user could use the service more frequently on a pay-as-you-go basis, according to the announcement.

The company said its content team already has serviced dozens of customers in the last several weeks, assisting on projects ranging from pizza digital menu boards to digital signage in a Ford dealership showroom. "The customers have not only been pleased with the work we've been providing, they're demanding more content, more regularly," MediaSignage President Nate Nead said in the announcement. "Content is all too often the missing link in a quality digital signage deployment. As such, we've implemented a content creation and scheduling service for both free and enterprise users alike. We expect the service side of this business will keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for the users of our service. We're excited to see where this service will take us next."
