It’s that time of year when you find yourself rushing from one holiday to the next until you eventually fall head first into the New Year. There’s no time to pause and the to-do list is seemingly endless. Hey, we’ve all been there.

So what do you do? Well, you could work hard, and maybe go a bit mad, or you could work smart. Cos seriously, do you really need to make that pumpkin pie from scratch, or would it be just as nice if you bought one ready-made? There are always little short-cuts you can take to ease the pressure and save a bit of time, and your sanity, without skimping on quality. 

That’s exactly the mindset we had when we created a load of handy digital signage templates for the festive season. Templates that you can easily adapt with just a few clicks to suit your content needs.  

We’ve made you template options for Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year that you can copy and edit to your heart’s content. No need to give us any credit either. In fact, go on, take all the glory! We won’t tell.

You can find all our seasonal templates here. Important note: Be sure to create your own copy of the Google Slides or else you won’t be able to edit them. Simply click on the link, select File > Make a Copy, and you’ll be able to change or add copy and swap up images too. You’ll have your personalized seasonal messages ready in minutes to delight your audience with. Then, you can easily add them to your digital signage screens using the Google Slides app integration on ScreenCloud. In a few simple clicks, your seasonal notices will be showing on your TV screens for all to look up and take notice of.  

How to adapt your existing signage with minimum effort 

There are a couple of ways you can go about adding your seasonal content to your existing digital signage playlists and content using ScreenCloud, depending on how you like to get organized. Here are some pointers to help you along the way and save you time:

If you organize your content through playlists, simply copy one of your regular playlists by clicking “Copy Playlist” at the top, then drag and drop in the additional, seasonal content in the order you want it to blend with your existing content, and add this playlist to your chosen screen(s). This way, when it’s time to take down the seasonal content, you can just remove the playlist and go back to your old playlist that doesn’t include the seasonal content. Simples!  

If you manage your content via schedules, click “Create new schedule”, select your times, then add your seasonal playlist in between your regular playlists and add this schedule to your chosen screen(s). Again, this makes it easy to return to your normal schedule once the holiday is over because you haven’t amended your standard schedules so can simply remove the seasonal playlists and be ready to go.

Be sure to make the most out of your seasonal messaging by setting it up a while in advance of each holiday (we recommend 2-3 weeks). That way you can be sure that your audience is exposed to the content during the time leading up to the special day as well as on the day itself.  

Consider extending the duration of the seasonal content in your playlist to maximize the chances of people seeing it. After all, you’re working within a limited time period!

Nobody wants to know about your Black Friday offers on December the 3rd. Be sure to set yourself a reminder to change your schedules over, especially during the autumn and winter festive season when holidays are so close together.
