• ‍Advertisements.  Yours, your vendors, your clients, your customers.  Advertisements can be done creatively on your display and can even become an extra source of revenue. ‍
• Meet & Greets.  Have staff to highlight?  Students to introduce?  A group to commend?  Let your audience meet and greet who you want them to by including biographies as you see fit.
  

• Special Codes.  If you have coupons, discount codes, specials, free giveaways, all of these can be included on your displays.  You can even incorporate beacon technology and have the codes sent to customer's mobile devices.
• Appreciation.  If you need to dote on a staff member, customer, client, vendor, any and all of the above, create content that sends all the love and appreciation for the world, or at least your audience, to see.  
  
• Safety/Emergency.  Whether it is a safety issue, weather concern, or local emergency, use your digital signage to convey the issues and then the best solution.  
• ‍FAQ's.  If you are often asked the same questions, have fun giving the answers through your content for your digital display.‍

• Mulitple Locations.  Do you have other campus locations, or sister locations?  Your content can work across the board (literally), or mention your other convenient locations.  ‍

• News.  Include news headlines or live streaming videos of local news.  Keep your audience up on current happenings around your area.  ‍
