Choosing the Right Digital Signage Content for 2026
Moving into 2026, you may be asking yourself “How is my network performing?”. With audiences used to dynamic, in-store media, your screens need to deliver content that informs, entertains, and engages in fresh ways.
New Year, new expectations and content needs. So, let’s talk about why choosing the right kind of digital signage content matters to drive the greatest impact.
Why Use Digital Signage Content?
The success of your digital signage network depends on how and what types of content you program. What works best will vary based on screen locations, intent of that screen, dwell time, and traffic patterns for the area where screens are placed.
At Wovenmedia, we know that varied content choice is one of the most effective ways to help businesses drive customer satisfaction, thereby leveraging an increase in engagement and return visits, which ideally, can lead to increased revenue. All networks are not the same and what runs in retail will differ from what runs in healthcare or even automotive spaces. Being aware of your target demographic is key. Demographics drive content choice.
As a general rule, content needs to grab a viewer’s attention quickly, and hold it, ensuring retention impact. Whether it’s long form or short form content will depend on many factors including the average dwell time for a viewer in your spaces. The curated WovenContent library offers both options. When browsing content selections, it’s important to reflect on some key questions that will allow you to plan your programming strategies effectively:
- Do you need seasonal content that updates regularly?
- Are you driving sales or specific marketing efforts that could also be enhanced by categorical video?
- What media is most likely to promote engagement and inform a viewer of something that they would find amusing, or applicable and helpful while in your space? After all, it’s not always about a “sell” – sometimes it’s just about keeping things light and entertaining.
