When your company has something important to say, every employee should see it — regardless of which office they work in. Digital signage makes this possible by turning every TV screen into a live announcement board, managed remotely from your phone.
The Traditional Approach (and Why It Fails)
Most companies rely on email blasts for important announcements. The problem? Open rates for internal emails average just 65-75%, and even those who open the email might skim past the important details. Physical notice boards are even worse — they require someone at each location to print and pin new notices.
Digital Signage as Your Announcement Channel
A 55-inch screen in the lobby, break room, or elevator landing is impossible to ignore. When an announcement appears on a digital display, every person who walks by sees it — no inbox required. And with Loco's remote management, you push that announcement to every location simultaneously.
Types of Announcements to Display
- Company-wide updates: Quarterly results, new product launches, merger announcements, rebranding.
- HR announcements: Open enrollment, new benefits, holiday schedules, dress code changes.
- Safety & compliance: Fire drill schedules, evacuation routes, compliance reminders.
- Employee celebrations: Work anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, team achievements.
- Emergency alerts: Weather warnings, security incidents, facility closures.
Step-by-Step: Push Announcements with Loco
- Design your announcement: Use Canva, PowerPoint, or any design tool. Export as an image (JPEG or PNG) or PDF.
- Open the Loco controller app: On your phone or Mac dashboard.
- Select target screens: Choose individual screens, locations, or all screens at once.
- Upload and push: Tap "Push to Screen" and your announcement appears instantly on every selected display.
Best Practices
- Use high-contrast text: White text on a dark background or dark text on a bright background. Ensure readability from 10+ feet away.
- Keep it brief: Limit announcements to a single key message. Use the screen to drive attention, not deliver a novel.
- Set display duration: Use Loco's playlist scheduler to show announcements for specific time periods, then rotate back to regular content.
- Emergency override: For urgent alerts, push immediately to all screens — interrupting any scheduled content.
Why Remote Management Matters
Without remote management, updating 10 screens across 3 offices means either traveling to each location or coordinating with staff at each site. With Loco, the CEO can push an announcement from their phone during a coffee break and every screen across every office updates within seconds.
