The screensaver would take the form of moving pictures, patterns, text or photos – making the screen appear "active" even when it wasn't in use. Many people used custom screensavers of popular culture icons, collages of photos or specific corporate issued ones on their work computers.
Screensavers can transform idle, blank screens into digital billboards all over your organization, showing text and images that reinforce your marketing, branding and communications campaigns.
It's a great way to reach your employees where they spend a large chunk of time – right at their desks. It's also a visually appealing and less intrusive way of communicating and looks good when visitors and clients see your employees' screens.
The benefits of using a corporate screensaver include being able to relay information to everyone in the company at once, getting around the problem of email overload to send messages to staff, having a more dynamic way of communicating to suit different learning and communication preferences, and the ability to build hype around new initiatives.
