Apartment digital signage: a practical guide

Apartment digital signage is a screen in the lobby, mailroom, elevator landing or fitness center that shows community events, amenity hours, maintenance notices, package pickup reminders and local weather, replacing paper notices on the bulletin board. With WidgitBoard you build the board in a drag-and-drop editor, open its link on a Smart TV or Fire TV Stick, and update it from any computer. It costs $19.99 a month for every screen on the property.

How to set up digital signage in an apartment community

  1. 1

    Start from the apartments template

    Pick the apartment community board and add your property name, logo and colors. It includes sections for events, amenities and building notices.

  2. 2

    Gather the recurring notices

    Office hours, amenity hours, trash and recycling days, parking rules and the after-hours maintenance number cover what residents ask the leasing office most.

  3. 3

    Install the lobby screen

    Open the display link in the TV's browser or on a Fire TV Stick, sign in once, and switch to full screen. No media player or installer needed.

  4. 4

    Name each screen and target schedules

    Create named displays such as Main Lobby, Mailroom, Fitness Center and Leasing Office, each with its own board. Schedules can show pool hours on the Fitness Center screen in summer and holiday office hours on the Main Lobby screen only.

What to show on apartment community screens

  • Maintenance and service notices

    Water shutoffs, elevator servicing and fire alarm testing with dates and times, posted as urgent announcements that expire on their own.

  • Package pickup reminders

    Package room hours and pickup instructions in the mailroom, without listing residents' names or unit numbers.

  • Amenity hours

    Pool, gym, clubhouse and rooftop hours, plus any closures for cleaning or private events.

  • Community events calendar

    Resident mixers, food truck nights, holiday parties and building meetings with a countdown to the next one.

  • Weather and local info

    Forecast, snow removal plans, transit tips and nearby businesses offering resident deals.

  • Leasing and referral news

    Renewal reminders, referral programs and available floor plans for the leasing office screen.

What digital signage costs for an apartment community

A typical community places screens in the main lobby, the mailroom or package area, the fitness center and the leasing office.

  • On per-screen plans, 4 screens cost $384–$960 a year.
  • WidgitBoard costs $190 a year for all 4 screens — and any you add later.

Apartment digital signage FAQ

What should an apartment building show on its lobby screen?

Information residents need day to day: maintenance and service notices, amenity hours, community events, package room hours, trash and recycling days, local weather and how to reach the office or after-hours maintenance.

What hardware do I need for apartment digital signage?

Only a display with a browser. WidgitBoard runs on any Smart TV browser, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi, tablet or computer, with no proprietary player or signage box.

Can I post a water shutoff notice that disappears when it's over?

Yes. Urgent announcements take a start and end time and override normal content while active, so a shutoff notice appears when you set it and clears automatically afterward.

Should resident names appear on package or notice screens?

It's best not to. Lobby and mailroom screens are visible to visitors and delivery drivers, so post general pickup instructions and building notices rather than names or unit numbers.

How much does digital signage cost for an apartment community?

WidgitBoard is $19.99 a month or $190 a year for unlimited screens. Per-screen signage tools typically charge $8 to $20 per screen per month, so a four-screen property pays $384 to $960 a year on those plans.
