4 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Holiday Digital Signage

Digital signage can help bring everyone closer during the holiday season.

And to help you get the most out of it, below, we are sharing four practical tips for you to keep in mind when creating your holiday digital signage.

1. Define the Essentials

When you’re planning to deploy holiday digital signage, thinking ahead of what exactly you’re trying to achieve will help you get a positive ROI on your efforts while saving time and resources.

So before you start building out your digital signage strategy for the holiday season, make sure you have fully covered the essentials:

• Goals & Objectives – What exactly are you trying to achieve with your holiday digital signage? It can be virtually anything – from boosting sales to fostering a positive work environment.
• Location – Where do you plan to place your digital signage? Depending on the location you have to work with, you may want to opt for different types of content to maximize your marketing impact.
• Content – What kind of digital signage content are you hoping to create? From digital posters to video signage, your possibilities are endless.

2.  Align Your Styling with Your Brand

Just as maintaining consistency across all of your digital assets helps build up a solid brand image, aligning the design of your digital signage with your brand can help you seamlessly boost its value in the long run.

For that reason, use the same fonts, colors, and designs to create a consistent look and feel across all of your digital signage assets.

3. Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

Since your audience is being bombarded with ads on a daily basis, you need to go the extra mile to cut through the noise to grab the attention of your employees, partners, and customers.

So, don’t be afraid to experiment with bold designs and bright colors. With the right toolset (more on that later), you can turn digital signage into a visual masterpiece without any specialized skills or technical knowledge.

4. Use a Scheduling Tool

Spending days to create stunning digital signage content only to forget to push it live is a not-so-common scenario that has happened to many organizations before.

To ensure all of your hard work does not go in vain, use CMS scheduling tools to ensure your content begins and ends during the intended dates of the holiday season.

We may be a bit biased in our recommendation (just a bit), but Wallboard’s CMS scheduling tool allows you to do just that, giving you complete control over how and when your content gets pushed live.
