If you’re using digital signage, you’ve probably asked yourself: How often should I actually update the content to keep it interesting and effective? Well, it’s not just about timing. You also need to think about how digital signage ties into your overall content strategy to really get the most out of it.
Why digital signage deserves a spot in your content game plan
At Yodeck, we see digital signage as much more than just screens showing random ads or announcements. In fact, it should be a key player in your overall communication strategy.
If your signage is disconnected from the rest of your content, updating it can quickly become a boring chore – and viewers will notice. And let’s be honest: Nobody wants to stare at the same old message day after day.
Finding the sweet spot: How often should you refresh?
Updating too rarely? You miss out on chances to engage your audience. Updating too often without thinking? You risk overwhelming people and exhausting your team.
So what’s the magic formula? It really depends on your business and audience:
- Retailers and restaurants often find daily or weekly updates work best – think fresh promotions or new menu items.
- For corporate settings, a weekly or monthly refresh keeps things informative without overload.
- At events or public venues, updating in real time or several times a day makes sure info stays relevant.
The trick is to keep your content fresh but not flood your screens with constant changes.
How Yodeck makes it easy (and affordable) to stay fresh
Refreshing your content sometimes feels like a headache or breaking the bank. Yodeck’s intelligent platform is designed so anyone can update content quickly – even without a design or IT team.
Consider a global quick-service restaurant that refreshes its digital menu boards multiple times a day. According to a case study by Intel, this dynamic approach led to a 20% increase in customer engagement and a measurable rise in sales during peak hours. This shows that when digital signage is part of a coordinated content strategy, delivering timely and relevant messages, it drives real business results.
