Deck the halls with digital signage fa-la-la-la-la, la la la laaaaaaaa!
It’s that time again when the halls are bustling with festive cheer and people are looking towards breaking up for the holiday period.
However, let’s not be too hasty — the snow has barely left a dusting and there’s still things to do before you break up. Check out our winter signage tips below to make sure you see the year out in style…
Communicate important dates
With staff, students and families juggling end-of-year activities, key events and all the important dates that come with them, your digital signage is an easy way to keep everyone informed about what’s happening and when.
Schedules can be used to deliver the right messages to the right people at the right time — whether it’s reminding everyone when to dust off their fancy suits and frocks for the Christmas party, or giving students a timely nudge about upcoming end-of-term deadlines.
Countdowns to events
The end of the year is packed with moments to celebrate — from fetes and discos to open evenings and Christmas jumper days. It’s important to build up excitement for what’s coming up, and TrilbyTV’s Countdowns are a great way to do exactly that.
Remember to tell a story with your signage. It’s not just about promoting an event in the lead up – it’s also about sharing the moments that made it special. Showcasing these snapshots in areas like your school reception lets every visitor see what’s been happening, and what their children have been enjoying, even if the reply at home is just, “It was fine.”
Say goodbye (but not just yet!)
We know it can be tempting to close down screens in early December, but try not to power down until the doors close on the last day of term.
As simple as it sounds, a festive message wishing everyone a happy holiday can bring an extra smile to people’s faces as they walk out the door. If you’ve not already seen our new Festive Smart Content, our customisable Snowy Footprints, Gift Wrapped Messages, Festive Fireplace and Snow Globe and our Festive Facts are the perfect way to spread holiday cheer throughout your halls.
Plan warm welcomes
While it might still be dreary and cold outside, a warm welcome on your digital signage will be a positive start to 2026.
Using automatic updates, you can set content to go live on the first day of next term, and ensure that it’s deleted once no longer needed.
Why not add a ‘Welcome Back’ playlist to prepare students for the year ahead and help get them back into school mode after the festive break?
Stay in touch
We’re always here to help, so be sure to reach out to our team, check out our blogs, or book on to our Community Drop-In sessions held on the last Wednesday of each month – except December, we’ll be too busy eating mince pies!
Have a fantastic festive season, we can’t wait to see how you bring your screens to life.
