Before and After: It’s Summertime to Use Your Media Kit

Summer is finally here! Can you believe it?! Now that the season has officially changed and people are out and about enjoying the beautiful weather, you have a wonderful opportunity to grab their attention with your display!

Update

Now is a great time to freshen things up a bit. Even if you just change the background color or the text color on your existing presentations, it will look new to passersby and be more likely to catch their eye.

Do you have any specials, sales, events, or announcements coming up for the summer? If so, get them created and published to your display right away!

The best part of updating your sign for summer is that the Media Kit includes so many images and animations that you can use. When it comes to creating summertime content, choose from a large variety of files.

To utilize your Media kit, first make sure you have it downloaded and that you have all the latest available content. Just follow the directions in the Knowledge Base articles below.

Your Media Kit has tons of images and animations to choose from, so let’s begin by narrowing down our search a bit. Simply:

• Choose from the Images or Videos tab.
• Click on the Daktronics Library drop down menu.
• Choose Holidays.
• Click Search.

You will now see content that is perfect for summer, such as Happy 4^th of July, Fireworks, Happy Mother’s and Father’s Day, Flags and other patriotic content great for Memorial Day, and even Labor Day content to end the summer with a bang!

Another great category to choose from when it comes to summertime content is Nature. You can find a hammock swinging in the summer breeze, a beach ball floating on the water, and other sunny day content great to use as backgrounds for your advertisements or announcements.

For those of you with smaller displays, you may not have as many options to choose from in the Media Kit, so a great place to look for additional content is buy.daktronics.com.

Here you can find all kinds of content for any time of the year, including summer.

This goes for anyone else looking for additional content as well. When you visit buy.daktronics.com, you will be able to choose from dozens of different packages, including some that are  FREE!
