1.FreeA highly recommended digital signage platform that is open-source, offering plenty of customization options although requiring some technical expertise.

Possibly. Free digital signage software is flexible and allows you to create appealing content, and manage your digital display from a content management system (CMS) at no cost. With that said, most free options have basic functionality so you"ll have to pay for a premium plan if you want custom videos, digital menu boards or weather updates. Check out our article on paid digital signage.

There is a Chrome app for digital signage that can be used on devices with a Chrome operating system or on the free Chrome web browser. The app can be downloaded for free and includes signage scheduling and management features.

Yes. You can display your digital signage content on almost any remote screen or digital signage media player. However, if you want to operate more than one screen you"ll have to pay for a premium plan, as most software providers only allow the use of one screen on a free plan. This, of course, differs with open-source digital signage but if you"re not tech-savvy you"ll probably have to hire a web designer to create signage for you.

Whether you need to create business signs or electronic signs, there"s no need to visit a sign company. Simply download and install free digital signage solutions on your desktop and start creating beautiful digital signs today.

At the heart of every great digital signage display is this: content. Make it look good and people will stop to look at it. Make it look bad or outdated, and chances are they won’t be looking at your screen again.

But with the flexibility of scheduling and real-time editing in ScreenCloud, all you’ve got to worry about is what you want to show. So here are 30 good examples of digital signage content to inspire.

The most obvious is social media. If you invest your efforts in social media, why not use this to bring your digital screens to life too? You can also utilize user-generated content.

Showing social media feeds on your digital signs can help pair your online reputation with your offline one, building credibility and helping customers buy into your brand.

Walls.io offers a unique feature to showcase sponsored ads from brands you partner with. This feature is called Sponsored Posts, and they are special posts on your social wall that aren’t filled with regular social content from your sources. Instead, you can upload specific images (or videos or just text) that you want to display there and have it show up on your wall in regular intervals.

Customers are 10 times more likely to observe dynamic digital signage content than static messages, which makes video the perfect content form; it’s also usually screen-ready in 16:9 format. Video to share on digital signage could be your showreel, a new demo video, or a customer caught on screen talking about how great you are. Add to your screen playlist either by direct upload or through an app such as YouTube or Vimeo.

If you need to create a quick notice, perhaps detailing a room change or a meeting time, there are a wealth of apps to make that happen. Like Noticeboard - an app that can be found in the ScreenCloud App Store. It allows you to create a quick and easy display in seconds, and also allows for real-time edits.

Add a news app to your digital signage playlist and you’ll always be up to date with the latest headlines. Your customers will sip their coffee longer, your guests will loiter in your reception hall.

As well as general news you can make your digital signage even more specific. RSS feeds are the gateway to unlocking any content you like, from Buzzfeed to your company blog to specialized news from your niche.

This type of content works well as ‘filler’ content in between video, ads and social media displays to stop your viewers from getting digital-overload.

Food is such a big part of our lives, it’s natural that we’re drawn to images, descriptions and menu boards showing it. Enter the digital menu board digital signage display.

This is one of the most important content displays you’ll create if you work in a restaurant, fast food chain or bar. It also works in an office cafeteria, an event setup or even as a fun noticeboard where you can swap menu items out for things you’re working on or fun descriptions of your team members. If you’re a franchise, this works especially well as you can change the price of an item across all screens and locations from one ScreenCloud login.

Data-driven companies are more likely to succeed – because they can easily see the areas that need attention. But most of the time this business-critical data is siloed and not seen by the teams that can make an immediate impact. Historically this data hasn’t been shown on screens due to security fears, which is why ScreenCloud developed Dashboards.

If you have a product, gaining visibility over feature development, customer number or what the future holds is kind of central to your work. That’s why pulling project management insights from Jira, Trello or your favorite project management tool and sharing them through digital signage in your office helps everyone to stay on the product pulse.

We love Slack at ScreenCloud. Like many startups, it’s how we do about 90% of our communication. So when a room’s really crucial to what we do, like our #praise room, we share it on our digital signage screens. This is made really easy with the Slack app.

Digital signage is a great canvas for all of your sales, small or large. Share real-time sales messages, promote offers and encourage customers to buy when the price is right. These can be easily created in Canvas.

How much time do you think your reception staff spend directing people to the right floor or meeting room? We love using the building directory app to share details of where everything is through our digital signage screens. The best part? If a room changes, you can update the screen easily unlike your static signs. Here are some non-obvious benefits of wayfinding in retail.

As well as advertising your own content, digital signage is a great method for selling advertising space within your building or store. Simple Playlist setup means you can schedule specific advertising slots, upload sponsored content between your own notices, or have dedicated days or areas where only advertising is shown.

If travel is essential to your customers or employees, then sharing a live travel information board is a great use of your digital signage. As you can see here, this provides up to the minute travel details on buses, trains and trams for your local area.

The benefit of digital signage over static signage or printed pamphlets is that it can be updated in real-time and pushed out instantly. This gives you the power to update signs with last-minute offers or promotions on items that are low in stock.

Imagine having a method of internal communication that allowed you to broadcast to your entire company, at the click of a button… That’s exactly what ScreenCloud Broadcast can do for you. This makes it easy to share company broadcasts that go out to all screens simultaneously with news, praise or health and safety announcements. Broadcast can securely live-stream meetings or announcements to screens in your office, and also onto the mobiles or desktop screens of remote or deskless workers, making sure everyone gets the news.

Digital signage can be used in retail to show-off in-store promotions and increase the number of customers who take up offers as soon they’re available. Couple posters with reviews, user-generated social media content and ads to really drive your brand home.

SOLETRADER uses digital signage to share the company’s Instagram feed, promoting more discussion and helping customers to see its shoes out in the world.

Who doesn’t love an inspirational quote? Using digital signage to share motivational quotes works in almost any scenario. In the ScreenCloud office, we even share quotes of things our Founders have said to keep the team inspired and uplifted.

In churches, sermon timetables, sermon quotes and hymns are both ways you could use digital signage to attract and retain more members to your sessions.

Everyone likes to see where they are in a leaderboard, whether that’s in sales or counting reps in the gym. Use your digital screens to show off this leaderboard and add an additional layer to your customer/employee experience. You can create it easily using Google Slides, or for something more automated, check out a tool like Bonusly, as shown below.

In the same way you might use your digital signage to share leaderboards, you could also entice employees or customers in with competitions. Promoting giveaways or asking them to submit something (like an Instagram image) for the chance to win, is a great use of your digital screens. Create a poster using Canvas and add a QR code to link through to a competition landing page.

Screens are great for all of the good stuff we like to put out into the world, but they’re also a good vehicle when you need to make an emergency notice that needs to reach a lot of people. For (planned) fire drills, you can schedule the alert to pop up on your screens, otherwise, have a template at the ready to push live should you need to display it in the moment.

Ever had a bad meeting room experience? Someone waiting awkwardly outside? Knocking before you’re finished to ask ‘how long’? Same. It’s why using small screens, iPads or tablets you have laying around is an awesome use of digital signage. We wrote more about how to set this up here.

If you work in an art gallery or somewhere you want to show off work, then digital signage is a great way to showcase photos, videos or actual designs of something special you’ve been working on.

Of course digital signage can always be used to create a pretty picture, but when it’s seriously useful, that’s when it makes the biggest difference. Digital signage is increasingly being used to facilitate and improve internal communication strategies. From sharing company notices, to key information and reinforcing health and safety training messages, so that they’re always seen.

Content creation. Unless you’re a graphic designer, it can be a phrase that’s said with dread. Yet an increasing amount of marketers, CEOs and customer service representatives are faced with creating content for online and offline channels. If you’re asked to create content for your digital screens, this can pose even more of a problem. What size should it be, what format? Where do I get images from, how can I get it up onto the screen when I’m done?

Creating content for digital screen displays is just as easy as creating for the web or social media. With the seven free tools below, ScreenCloud and a TV screen, you can be powered up in minutes. Here’s our pick of the bunch and how to use them to create the optimal digital signage display:

Canvais the Netflix of slidedeck creation tools. Forget InDesign, Powerpoint or anything else masquerading as a content creation tool. Canva is slick, intuitive and comes with a host of designs, templates and cool tools that allow you to get going on impressive presentation decks, brochures and social media content. As well as brochures, PDFs and showreels. Here are a few reasons why it’s ideal for creating digital screen content:Thousands of images.Canva comes stocked with illustrations, vectors and stock photographs that are available for your perusal. Each stock image costs $1 which is super cheap and there’s also a selection of free images to choose from. No external sourcing saves time finding the right images to illuminate your displays and allows you to work within one window. Using stock images means you won’t lack the resolution needed to make your images look great on a digital screen. You can also upload your own, making it easy to drop in logos, headers and the assets that suit your brand.

It’s likely you’ll already have branded fonts to use within displays, but digital signage can sometimes call for a new variation. Text used on screen often needs to be bigger, more widely spaced or within a different formation for it to work.

Font Squirrel. If you need a free font for commercial use, such as creating great content for your digital screen display, then Font Squirrel is the place to head to. The website is super simple to use and has a variety of fonts to choose from.

Jeff Schreiber. For more stylised fonts there are sites like that of Jeff Schreiber. Jeff is a designer, illustrator and typographer from The Netherlands who releases free fonts which are great for poster and digital screen work. There aren’t a huge amount to choose from but this can be a good approach if you’re looking for something unique that’s going to make your content pop.

Infographics are great ways to display information that could otherwise be fairly droll. Save hours of design time by using Hubspot’s 15 free infographic template downloads. Not only are they beautifully designed but they also come with a handy guide on choosing colour schemes, selecting a style and the best practice for using an infographic template. The files are downloadable in either PowerPoint or InDesign, so you can begin editing in either programme instantly, then save as an image to finish up and voila! You have a lovely looking infographic ready for your screen display. Just be aware that these templates come in portrait mode, so you may want to play around with the dimensions or flip them on their side if you’re working with a screen in landscape.

Placeit is a great tool if you’re looking to add your own branding to a stock image or something that’s been taken by a member of the team. Unless you’re a designer, led by designer tools, manually customising an image to blend with an image you’ve already had, or have sourced from a stock site, can be difficult. Placeit allows you to upload your images and screenshots into a stock photo template. For example, allowing you to add a screenshot of your CRM to a stock photo of a PC or allowing you to add a dashboard or shot of your video player onto a screen that’s mounted on a wall. The images available span from mobiles and tablets, through to laptops and desktops, in a variety of situations and settings so there really is something for everyone.

As we mentioned in this post, choosing an appropriate color scheme for your digital sign display can be difficult. Different rules apply to digital screens, than print or even most online content. This can make it hard to create a color scheme that’s eye catching but not garish, on-brand but still easy on the eye. That’s where Design Seeds comes in. Design Seeds is a website that provides hundreds of variations of color palettes which work well together. The format of the site shows the color scheme with a photograph and six color strips to match, allowing you to see what might work for your own website, images or screen content. The images are personally curated by the owner and can be anything from an image of a bird, to a street or aeroplane. Once you’ve selected a color palette, you can gain access to each color’s HEX code by hovering over the color strip. If you need further inspiration, check out their Pinterest board - it turns everyday items into color palettes in a beautiful way.

So there you have it. Seven great, easy-to-use tools that turn marketers into designers and standard digital screen content into excellent digital screen content. Once you’ve had a play, use our free trial of ScreenCloud to get your fresh new content up onto your screens

The marketing world concurs; that paper is in the past, all is now digital, and digital signage is everywhere. From the landmark Piccadilly Lights, revamped in 2017 with a state-of-the-art 4K LED screen and running cutting-edge digital signage software, to the iconic Times Square digital screens. Digital signage is all around us.

If you are a business owner or a marketing manager, finding a digital signage solution is a must. 70% of U.S. residents aged 12 or older have seen a digital video display in a public venue in the past month. That is a huge audience you need to make sure you are taking advantage of.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best digital signage software tools around, to help you make the most out of your digital displays. No matter what your requirements are there is a solution for your needs.

With this digital signage solution, you get the ability to create and schedule playlists on a single interface. This allows you to put multiple pieces of content together and set the displays to cycle through a playlist, instead of having to schedule each piece of content.

Screenly also offers you the ability to display 1080p Full HD images, videos, and live web pages. Usefully, the software automatically detects your TV and monitor dimensions to render your signage in the highest resolution available.

You can use Screenly OSE for free, however, if you want key features such as the ability to manage multiple screens from a single account and cloud-based storage, you’ll need a subscription. A yearly subscription to the Business plan costs $17 a month per screen.

This digital signage software is ideal for a variety of purposes, from displaying business metrics on a dashboard to digital menu boards in a restaurant. For QSRs, an effective digital menu board is particularly important as 29.5% of customers find digital menus influential for the purchase of a product.

Marketing themselves as the first company to offer advanced digital signage to everyone for free, DigitalSignage.com is a browser-based solution that allows you to easily create an amazing digital presentation on your PC. You can then share this to an unlimited number of remote screens. This is the major selling point of DigitaSignage.com, as most options require you to pay for their subscription service to unlock additional screen support. For example, you could have a monitor close to your point of sale and an advertising kiosk, such as the LamasaTech Guida kiosk shown below, as another screen closer to the entrance. Both would be able to display your digital signage content.

The Enterprise edition is DigitalSignage.com’s subscription offering which starts at $49 per month. With this, you gain access to more advanced features such as multi-user management and the advertising manager.

To access all of the features DigitalSignage.com offers you’ll need the Enterprise subscription. However, the free version offers you enough core features to be able to create and display your content.

As for support, DigitalSignage.com provides a wide coverage of help for their users including a live chat available on their website, along with webinars and tutorials.

Features such as content scheduling and multi-screen support are available with this software. You can set what your displays are showing, allowing you to more directly engage with your community via graphical, video and text-based messages.

Part of the reason for its popularity comes from the fact that this convenient tool is open-source, which means the service is free to use and deploy. To run your digital signage software with Concerto you just need to pay for the hardware, such as a freestanding advertising display.

PeakSignage gives you the ability to launch your messaging and monitor your screens from an online dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via any modern browser.

One of the stand-out features of PeakSignage is the drag-and-drop layout editor. You simply select which element or widget you want to add to your content, then drop it where you’d like it to appear. No set zones for these elements means you have complete flexibility when it comes to designing your digital signage.

PeakSignage also allows you to group your screens, meaning you can easily align the messages on your devices. For example, if you have a window display, like the one shown below, and a few freestanding kiosks in your reception, you could group all of these and have them display your welcome messages. This saves you valuable time, as you only have to create your content once and then push it to the group rather than having to create duplicates for each screen.

A bonus here is that you can use these grouped screens to clearly communicate with your employees as well as customers. Using PeakSignage, you can display useful information such as a calendar of meetings or current targets on your screens. This will improve your internal communications, which can result in a 25% increase in productivity from your staff.

Another useful feature is the Emergency Override. This lets you create an alert, which could include fire exit locations and meeting points, that will be displayed on your screens in the event of an emergency. You can activate the emergency mode from the PeakSignage dashboard and your screens will immediately update to display your alert message. This lets you provide the safety information your customers and staff will need quickly and clearly, helping to improve your on-site safety.

Like with many of the other options listed in this article, Yodeck is a cloud-based digital signage platform. Although Yodeck offers a “free” version, that only includes a single screen and you are required to purchase a Yodeck Player. This means to take full advantage of what Yodeck offers you’ll need to sign up for one of their subscription plans. These are very reasonably priced, which is what makes Yodeck a popular choice. The plans you can choose from are:

In terms of the user interface, Yodeck has a straightforward dashboard making it easy to navigate quickly. Your media files can be pushed to a screen directly from the upload page, so your content can be displayed right away with no downtime. Free templates are also included to help you get started with creating your digital signage.

For the lower price point, Yodeck provides a quick and easy-to-use digital signage solution, however, you will find that the more advanced features that help you organise your content, such as PeakSignage’s alerts, are not here.

ScreenCloud markets itself as a “barrier-free” digital signage solution. This is definitely the case when it comes to connecting the app to your screens, as any media player or even “smart TV” can be used as your screen.

ScreenCloud is designed to be used on any hardware letting you focus on your digital signage content and not finding a compatible device. If your hardware is a “smart device” and is capable of downloading apps, you can download the ScreenCloud app directly onto that device. If it isn’t able to do this, you would need a media player. For commercial use, it is suggested that you use the media player option as this will provide you with a more advanced operating system designed for commercial digital signage.

OptiSigns functions in a similar way to ScreenCloud, as it is an app that can be installed on an Amazon Fire stick to show your digital signage on any TV screen. It can also show content on a video wall if you have a video wall controller, like the one shown below. To learn more about video wall controllers click here.

Once you have connected your screen and added it to your account, you can use the web portal to start assigning content. As with many of the other solutions in this article, you can manage your screens and assign content remotely.

Creating content is done by uploading your images or videos and placing them on the canvas, where they can be positioned and resized. To add more life to your digital signage, OptiSign offers a set of widgets such as date, time and weather, that will alter depending on the location of your screen. The stand-out widget though is the Apps widget. OptiSign has a range of apps that you can link to your content and display, these include:

OptiSigns subscriptions start at $10 per screen per month. This gives you the basic features you’ll need to create your digital signage. Custom fonts, a feature that helps give your digital signage a more unique look, are unlocked in the Pro plan for $12.50 per screen per month. While you’ll need the Pro Plus plan to access more security features, as well as alerts if your screens are down.

Never underestimate the importance of signs. They are a crucial part of your overall marketing plan and can communicate vital information to customers that can drive sales and improve levels of customer satisfaction. Digital signs are here to stay and could be vitally important to your company.

As a consumer, it is always helpful to be able to try things before you commit to buying them. With digital signage, many companies offer a limited-time free trial that automatically begins after your trial period, or sometimes they will limit the features you can use while on a trial. At Play Digital Signage, we have always offered one free screen with full-featured capabilities for as long as you desired. And now – we’re offering up to 10 trial screens so you can see what our digital signage software can do for your business.

However, our customers have given us some useful feedback on alterations to the program that they would like to see. We have listened to and participated in the conversation, and are now excited to announce changes to our free trial screens! Let’s talk about what’s changed with our trial program and how it will benefit your business.

The biggest change that has been made regarding our free trial screen is that we are now offering 10 trial screens for free. When listening to customer feedback, the most common complaint was that one screen wasn’t sufficient enough to test out many of the set-ups that are possible with digital signage.

Digital signage content can be displayed across multiple screens to make it bigger without a bigger screen or the same content can be displayed on multiple screens in different locations. Additionally, different content can be displayed on various screens across several individual locations.

Because these setups are far more common than utilizing only one screen, our one free screen wasn’t as useful for many businesses to see the wide benefits of digital signage. This is why we are now offering 10 trial screens. Now, with 10 trial screens, you can set up the digital signage in the way it is most useful for your business before making a financial commitment.

The other change we have made is that there will now be a watermark on each of the trial screens until they are updated to production. Previously because it was only one screen, we did not include a watermark, but to offer multiple screens, it’s a necessary addition. However, we have ensured that it will not interfere with the content design process so that you are fully able to see the vast capabilities of our built-in content editor.

Just as before, we won’t ask for any credit card information before you’re ready to remove the watermark and put your screens into production. We don’t even ask for credit card information at sign-up because we want you to be able to see everything Play Digital Signage can do without the pressure of releasing your private information to do so.

The biggest benefit we have added with ten trial screens is the ability to view multi-screen uses without payment. This way you can set up a screen in every location you want or create a large viewing area using multiple screens in one location. This helps you to see how all of your screens will look in your space before the financial commitment. See how different setups look and pick your favorite.

We have always offered the full capabilities of Play Digital Signage for free, but now you can design all of your content for all of your screens up to ten before paying for anything. With 10 trial screens, you can have all of your content ready to go how you like it.

Especially when designing your own content, it can take a good chunk of time. Since most digital signage companies, including us here at Play Digital Signage,charge monthly, you can rack up a lot of money spent on the time you were only in the content creation stage rather than only paying for your screen to be live. That is why we have continued to not charge until you are fully ready to go live. We want you to have all the time you need to explore the long list ofPlay Digital Signage featuresand utilize them to their full potential in your digital signage content. With no time limit, you can take your time to get your content perfect before beginning monthly payments.

Ready to try out your 10 trial screens for free? Sign up is as easy as 1-2-3! Once you sign up, you’ll see the power of our built-in content editor, be able to utilize ourstellar customer support, and see how much digital signage can improve your business operations.

Choose your screens. Play Digital Signage is compatible with any size screen so the choice is up to you. Mix and match small and large or pick one size that works for you. The choice is yours!

Pick your player. There are a lot of players on the market, but we have ensured that Play Digital Signage works effectively with the majority of them so you don’t have to purchase anyspecial hardware. Check out our list of the best players at three different price pointshere.

Once you have completed these three steps, you are ready to design your content and try our digital signage system for free! Add up to 10 screens and see what Play Digital Signage software can do for your business with no credit card required!

Regardless of the industry of operation—be it healthcare, education, or hospitality—your business should aim to have strong audience engagement. And the golden rule of audience engagement is effective communication. That’s where digital signage software comes into the picture.

Be it reducing the anxiety of patients in your clinic"s waiting room or informing customers about offers at your retail store, digital signage solutions help engage your audiences using eye-catching visuals. They let you broadcast business ads and informational content (news, discounts, product demos, etc.) on digital displays or screens. These tools are more effective than traditional print ads in attracting customers’ attention and increasing engagement.

The power of advertising is beyond dispute as it can make or break companies" fortunes while influencing consumer preferences and buying habits. It is how billboards came to be and why they have evolved into electronic displays with content refreshing every 30 seconds.

It is also why more and more restaurants display their everchanging menus on TV monitors above the cash registers and why walls of LED displays are replacing bulky, monochrome monitors in airports and other mass transportation hubs.

From the advertiser"s point of view, the decision as to how to allocate marketing budgets boils down to return on investment, and the biggest part of that equation is the cost per impression. A look at the numbers demonstrates just how cost-effective digital signage can be, despite the substantial initial outlay of capital:

Whereas 1,000 impressions in a newspaper would cost over $7.00 for an average-sized ad and $5.00 for a radio ad spot, the correlating cost on a digital signage platform would be a mere $.15 for the same number of exposures

Whereas billboards and other printed OOH advertising are static, digital signage can display content that not only changes and updates as needed but can also be adaptable to evolving circumstances through conditional scheduling and programming

When it comes to correlating digital signage expenditures to sales conversions, the resulting data is clear and convincing. For instance, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses stand to benefit immensely from digital signage, with up to 150% increases in business being reported. As far as recouping initial costs of implementing digital signage, as low as three months" ROI has been noted.

Retail operations with digital signage encourage shoppers to spend 30% more time browsing while providing digitally displayed infotainment near cash registers decreased perceived waiting time by 35%

Perhaps most telling of all in a retail setting, brands advertised on digital signage near point-of-sale areas experienced a 30% increase in sales volume

For any enterprise, small or large, private or public, incorporating digital signage into daily operations is a potential game-changer. In today"s world, digital content is far more than simply displaying information electronically. It is a transformative way to inform in a targeted and persuasive manner and a highly adaptable channel through which to interact with a captive audience.
