Digital Signage Ideas and Examples

6 min read

Not sure what to put on a screen? Here are ideas that work across businesses, with links to how each one is done.

Menu boards and price lists

Restaurants, cafes, and food courts use digital menu boards so prices and availability change instantly and breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus switch on schedule. See restaurants and fast food.

Promotions and offers

Retailers show sale banners and new arrivals, then let them expire on an end date. See promotions and retail.

Wayfinding and directories

Hospitals, campuses, airports, and large offices show directions that are easy to update when something moves. See wayfinding, healthcare, and airports.

Queue calls and wait times

Clinics and service counters post wait times and call the next person. See queue displays.

Announcements

Offices, schools, and public buildings post news, schedules, and urgent notices, sometimes with a voice message. See voice announcements and education.

Welcome screens and events

Hotels, gyms, and event venues greet guests and show today's schedule. See hospitality and events.

Social proof and brand video

  • Customer reviews and photos
  • A short brand video on a loop
  • Team introductions and staff recognition
  • Local weather, time, and news widgets

Make it easier with templates and AI

Start from templates for the layout, and use AI image generation when you need artwork quickly.
