Assessing Your VCS Account

Before jumping into new content, take a moment to evaluate your current account. How many media files are there? How many playlists are expired or unused? Are there any assets you can repurpose? We suggest cleaning and organizing your account before each season. Follow the link below for a detailed guide on how to streamline your account and refine your playlists.

Get Creative with Back-to-School Content

Back-To-School is a golden opportunity to think creatively about your display’s content. If you’re a business, this is your moment to shine! Ever wondered how a local tire and auto shop can leverage Back-to-School marketing? Think about the families and students embarking on long trips to colleges. Promos like “Free oil change with tire purchase” or “Free tire rotation with an oil change” can be enticing. Focus on your regular services too – you never know when a passerby might see your display and become a lifelong customer.  

 

For schools. It's all about preparation and enthusiasm. Use your display to excite students about the new year with content for clubs, events, and extracurriculars. Inform parents about necessary school supplies and preparations. For more inspiration, check out last year’s Back-to-School Blog linked below.
