Summer doesn’t just bring sunshine—it brings staffing gaps, scattered schedules, and a calendar full of “out of office” replies.
And while the break is well-earned, it also creates a real challenge: how do you keep communication flowing when your team is stretched thin?
The good news?
If you’re using Retriever, you’ve already got the solution.
This Is Retriever’s Season to Shine
Summer is when Retriever becomes more than just your signage platform—it becomes your communication safety net.
Whether you’re managing multiple branches, a busy school campus, or a local business trying to juggle customers with half your team on vacation, Retriever helps you keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
Here’s how Retriever works harder when your team can’t:
- Pre-schedule weeks of content so you’re not scrambling while someone’s out
- Push updates across locations instantly—no need to call around or rely on someone else to “get to it”
- Cut down on meetings and emails by putting key updates right on your screens
- Ensure consistent messaging no matter who’s on the schedule that day
Even if your usual content creator is sipping iced tea in another state, your signage stays active and up-to-date.
What to Put on Your Screens This Summer
Need some inspiration? Here are some ways Retriever customers are using their screens during the summer shuffle:
- Staff recognition for team members going above and beyond during busy weeks
- “We’re hiring” messages to fill seasonal roles or plan ahead for fall
- Reminders about schedule changes, closures, or limited services
- Tips for beating the heat or managing customer flow during peak hours
- Sneak peeks of fall events or product launches to keep engagement high
- Policy refreshers on PTO, dress code, or safety (especially if you’ve got newer team members filling in)
The beauty of Retriever is that it runs even when your people are running around. You don’t have to worry about someone remembering to update a bulletin board or hang a flyer. It’s already handled.
You’ve Already Got the Tool. Let’s Make the Most of It.
Retriever was built for moments like this—when the last thing you need is another thing to manage. It’s not just about what goes on the screen; it’s about freeing up your time to focus on the parts of your business that actually need you.
