6 Thanksgiving Content Ideas for your Digital Signage

Here are some creative Thanksgiving signage ideas for your office displays, store signs and outdoor DOOH screens. Better turn off your ovens or the turkey is bound to be charred.😜

1. Thanksgiving Countdown

This is a ready-to-use design available in the Pickcel composition template library. The template uses the Countdown app that allows you to add live countdown tickers to get everyone up and excited! Use it to show a holiday countdown or a curtain raiser to your office’s pre-Thanksgiving party. After all, it’s the countdown to the T day.

2. Thanksgiving Holiday Message

Come on! Your employees are looking forward to a Thanksgiving weekend with loved ones as much as you are! And, what better than getting them a little excited about it with the thanksgiving holiday announcement?

This template is perfect for your office break rooms, visitor lounge, and conference halls. Blending elegantly the November mercury levels from the Weather Animation app with a cheerful Thanksgiving greeting is all you need to set in the fiesta vibe. Top it up with quick bulletins by customizing the Scroller app.

3. Thanksgiving Digital Menu Board

With October just gone by, the festive season has just begun! From Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year celebrations up and incoming, are you still the one to have a static vinyl menu board printed for your customers? A ‘festive special’ blackboard to update the seasonal menu? Oh man, it’s time you go digital!

With Pickcel’s Digital Menu Board App, personalize your digital menu displays with seasonal offerings, discounts, and prices. Highlight special items, add ‘Sold Out’ labels, and make your menu mobile-ready with QR code. All you need is our software and a few taps!

4. Thanksgiving Twitter Wall for Outdoor Signage Displays

Be it your brand’s special festive social media contest or the local church’s Thanksgiving donation campaign, our Twitter Plus, Facebook Plus, Instagram Plus, and Social Wall apps can help you generate massive engagement with any audience demographic.

You can filter posts and tweets by hashtags or by any user profile. You can also handpick your posts through manual moderation. Here is an example of how your Thanksgiving tweet collage might look on a DOOH signage.

5. Thanksgiving-special Bulletin Board & Recognition Wall

Thanksgiving digital signboards are the trend at schools worldwide, and for all the right reasons! From highlighting students’ contributions in academics, social work, or creativity to getting out the pre-thanksgiving schedule and what’s in for the holiday week created with our Bulletin Board App, let’s not limit our ideas to mere blackboards and chalk-talks anymore!

6. Gamified Discount for In-Store Digital Signage

It’s that time of the year again (store owners)!

What are your holiday season offerings, hmm? A 50% discount on all of those Zara pullovers? I’d love that! Is there an exclusive surprise discount once I scan that QR on the screen? The one beside your Thanksgiving store-closure message! OH MY, let’s go!

As a retailer, I’d be super happy to see my customers with all smiles and excited to make a purchase. All credits to Pickcel’s Digital Discount Coupons App!
