Retriever Digital Signage is the most effective way to communicate to your customers and employees. We love to see our customers and their businesses thrive by using their Retrievers well. Here are a few suggestions on how you can make the most of our versatile system!
Vary Your Message
Even though it may seem counter-intuitive, it’s most effective to include a mixture of slides that are informative, educational, entertaining along with your advertising. The 21st Century mind tunes out when they think they’re looking at an ad – just think about how you skip the commercials on your DVR or scroll past the banner ads on the web.
We’ve made it extra simple for you to incorporate slides that will hold the attention of your customers. Simply scroll through the categories on your Retriever playlist to incorporate weather forecasts, news headlines, trivia, and more. It’s simple to make your own entertaining and educational slides about your company too – and your customers will be glad you did!
