Whether you use digital signage or are considering it for your business, check out these ten essential content tips for engaging, impactful and effective communication on information screens.
1 | Everyday Messages
Digital signage is ideal for sharing short and important everyday messages. Use it to distribute news, tips, invitations, reminders, and other essential information instantly!
With our mobile app, PinTomind Go, you can also allow your audience to read your messages in a convenient format on their phones.
Enhance messages by using images sourced directly from Unsplash or by uploading your own. Alternatively, add our large emojis and icons to attract attention, or simply keep the post as plain text if you prefer.
2 | Calendars
Calendar posts are smart and efficient for information on upcoming events!
PinTomind can automatically fetch content from various digital calendars like Google, Outlook, iCloud, and more. This ensures that your content is consistently refreshed as new events are added to the calendar, keeping your screen current and up-to-date.

Whether you’re in waiting rooms, reception areas, meeting rooms, or social areas, a clock display allows you to easily track time with just a quick glance.
We also offer a fun World Clock Feature, where you can showcase time from multiple global locations – conventient and engaging, especially for businesses worldwide.
