Movement catches the eye: Studies show that animated content on digital displays attracts significantly more attention than static images. SignageNow is now expanding its Digital Signage Cloud software with a range of fully animated screen apps (templates).
The best part: All of the new templates are fully included in SignageNow’s free plan. You don’t need any graphic design skills or expensive additional software to bring professional screen ads to your monitor in minutes.
An overview of the new animated screen apps
Whether for retail, restaurants, gyms, or public administration - the new templates cover a wide range of applications and can be customized directly through the SignageNow dashboard.
1. Highlight: “Split-Cut Mode” animation
A spectacular visual effect that grabs maximum attention: In Split-Cut Mode, the first word is split as if by a precision cut, after which new terms dynamically slide into place. This effect is perfect for concise brand messages, new product launches, or eye-catching discount promotions in store windows.
2. Recruiting & Job Postings: “We’re looking for you”
The shortage of skilled workers affects nearly every industry. Use the screens in your sales area or storefront as a digital job board. The animated “We’re Looking for You” template effectively highlights your open positions and directly appeals to potential applicants right on the spot.
3. Sales Promotion & Discount Campaigns
Several eye-catching sales animations are available for retailers:
- SALE: Classic, dynamic lettering for clearance sales.
- Black Friday: A perfectly tailored design for the highest-revenue days of the year.
- Amazing Prices & Bargain Alerts: Eye-catching effects to showcase special offers and bargains in a way that can’t be missed.
- New Trends: Modern typography for presenting new collections, seasonal merchandise, or new products.
4. Urgency & Events: “Countdown”
Create a sense of scarcity or build anticipation: The built-in countdown timer counts down days, hours, minutes, and seconds in real time. Ideal for grand openings, event kickoffs, cyber sales, or limited-time discount promotions.
5. Sports & Health: “Fitness Class Announcement”
Ideal for gyms, dance studios, and sports clubs. Announce new workouts, HIIT power classes, or special events with dynamic flash animations and clear schedules.
6. Public Sector & B2B: “Official Notice”
For municipalities, city halls, government agencies, or works council displays: The “Official Announcement” Screen App provides a professional, easy-to-read format for holiday hours, public notices, or internal company news.
