Scheduling & Campaigns

Absolutely.

You can choose a specific start date and end date for every campaign.

This is particularly useful for:

• Limited-time promotions
• Public holidays
• Product launches
• School terms
• Seasonal campaigns
• Sporting events
• Company announcements

Once the campaign reaches its end date, it automatically stops playing without requiring manual intervention.

Scheduling content in Imagine is simple.

Once you've uploaded your media or created a playlist, you can choose exactly when it should appear on screen. Simply select your screens, set the start and end dates, choose the days of the week and, if required, specify the times of day.

Once your schedule has been published, Imagine automatically takes care of the rest.

Yes.

Imagine allows you to schedule campaigns days, weeks or even months ahead of time.

This is ideal for businesses planning seasonal promotions, public holidays, product launches or marketing campaigns. Once everything has been scheduled, your content will begin and end automatically without any further action.

Many of our customers prepare an entire month's worth of content in advance, saving valuable time whilst ensuring every campaign is delivered on schedule.

Yes.

Imagine allows you to display different content throughout the day.

For example, a restaurant could automatically display:

• Breakfast menu from 06:00 to 11:00
• Lunch menu from 11:00 to 16:00
• Dinner menu from 16:00 onwards

Retailers often use time-based scheduling to promote different offers during the morning, afternoon and evening, ensuring customers always see the most relevant content.

Yes.

You can select individual days of the week for every campaign.

For example, you could display:

• Weekday promotions
• Weekend specials
• Friday-only offers
• Public holiday messaging
• Sunday trading hours

This flexibility ensures your screens always display relevant information.

Yes.

If you regularly display the same content each week, there's no need to recreate the schedule every time.

Simply configure your recurring schedule once and Imagine will automatically repeat it according to your chosen pattern.

This is ideal for weekly promotions, recurring events and regular announcements.

Absolutely.

Many organisations prepare campaigns well ahead of time.

Whether you're planning Christmas promotions in October or scheduling annual company events, Imagine allows you to prepare everything in advance so your marketing team can work more efficiently.

Yes.

Every campaign can have its own end date and time.

Once the campaign expires, Imagine automatically removes it from playback without requiring staff to manually update the screens.

This helps prevent outdated promotions from remaining on display after they've ended.

Yes.

Imagine has been built for organisations managing multiple branches, stores or offices.

A single campaign can be assigned to one screen, a group of screens or your entire network.

This makes nationwide promotions quick and easy whilst ensuring consistent branding across every location.

Absolutely.

Every screen or screen group can have its own independent schedule.

For example:

• Cape Town stores can display regional promotions.
• Johannesburg branches can promote local events.
• Durban locations can run different seasonal campaigns.

This gives you complete flexibility whilst still managing everything from one central dashboard.

Yes.

If you need to communicate something immediately, Imagine allows you to publish priority content that takes precedence over existing schedules.

This is particularly useful for:

• Emergency announcements
• Safety messages
• Product recalls
• Important customer notices
• Unexpected store closures

Once the priority campaign has ended, your normal schedule automatically resumes.

Yes.

Campaigns can be paused, edited or stopped at any time.

This allows you to react quickly if a promotion changes, stock becomes unavailable or you simply need to make an adjustment.

Changes can be made in just a few clicks and published immediately.

Absolutely.

Publishing a campaign doesn't lock it in place.

If you need to update dates, replace media, adjust playback times or change the assigned screens, simply edit the campaign and republish it.

The updated schedule is automatically distributed to your selected players.

Yes.

Duplicating campaigns is a great way to save time.

Rather than creating a new campaign from scratch, simply duplicate an existing one and make any necessary changes.

This is particularly useful for recurring promotions, seasonal campaigns or similar marketing activities across different locations.

Yes.

Whilst many customers choose to schedule playlists, individual media files can also be scheduled independently.

This gives you complete flexibility over how your content is managed and displayed.

Yes.

Playlists can be scheduled in exactly the same way as individual media.

This allows you to create complete campaigns containing multiple videos, images and documents that automatically begin and end according to your chosen schedule.

It's one of the easiest ways to manage large volumes of content across multiple displays.

Of course.

Not every screen needs to show the same content.

Imagine allows you to assign different campaigns to individual displays, departments, stores or regions.

For example:

• Reception screens can welcome visitors.
• Waiting rooms can display informational content.
• Retail displays can promote current offers.
• Staff areas can communicate internal announcements.

Every screen can have its own unique schedule.

Yes.

Managing hundreds of individual screens would quickly become time-consuming.

That's why Imagine allows you to create screen groups.

Once created, campaigns can be assigned to an entire group with a single click.

This makes managing large digital signage networks both simple and efficient.

Imagine intelligently manages campaign priorities.

If multiple campaigns are scheduled for the same screen at the same time, the platform follows the scheduling rules you've configured to ensure the correct content is displayed.

This prevents scheduling conflicts and gives you confidence that your campaigns will play exactly as intended.

Absolutely.

Seasonal campaigns are one of the most common uses of digital signage.

Many customers prepare campaigns for:

• Christmas
• Easter
• Valentine's Day
• Mother's Day
• Father's Day
• Black Friday
• Back-to-school promotions
• Summer and winter sales

Once scheduled, these campaigns automatically activate and expire on the dates you've chosen.

Yes.

Whether you're planning annual promotions, sporting events or company celebrations, Imagine allows you to prepare campaigns well in advance.

By organising your campaigns ahead of time, you can reduce last-minute work whilst ensuring every promotion is delivered exactly when it's needed.

Yes.

Before publishing, you can review your campaign settings to ensure everything is correct, including:

• Assigned screens
• Dates
• Times
• Active days
• Playlists or media
• Campaign duration

This gives you confidence that your content will be displayed exactly as intended before it goes live.

Our scheduling engine has been developed to handle everything from simple one-off promotions to highly complex enterprise deployments.

Whether you're managing one café menu or thousands of screens across multiple countries, Imagine gives you complete control over your campaigns without making scheduling complicated.

Our goal has always been to provide powerful scheduling features that remain intuitive enough for anyone to use.
