Video walls are becoming more popular by the day. While they used to appear almost exclusively in government control rooms, behind news desks on national channels, or in other elite environments, video walls are now frequently used by churches, schools, nonprofit organizations, and any other type of business. In fact, research indicates that the video wall market is growing by over 35% every year, and by 2025, the global LED video wall market is likely to be worth $73.

In addition to offering crisp images and compelling display options, LED video walls are also extremely energy efficient. They allow you to enjoy bright, colorful displays without driving up energy costs. In most cases, these screens take less energy to run than screens relying on alternative types of lighting.

A lot of towns, cities, and even state governments are exploring the benefits of fundraising. If your tax base and other forms of revenue aren't filling your coffers, you may need to host your own fundraiser. To attract as many donations as possible, you need to make sure people know that you're fundraising, and your civic sign can play a big role in that process.

Recently, the Chicago Tribune ran a story called, "Catchiness is next to godliness on church signs". The news article explained the phenomenon of catchy church signs and explored the idea that churches with prominent signs have a drive-by ministry that often greatly exceeds the number of people sitting in the pews every week.
