In light of October being a rather scary month, we thought we
would highlight 31 reasons not to be afraid of digital signage. We
hope you enjoy them.
Reason #15: Media players
Maybe you've made a previous investment in
digital
signage and just aren't happy with the product. And
yet you still have leftover LCDs or plasma screens you want to
still use. This is where our
media
player comes in. We've helped company salvage their
existing hardware investment and easily connect our media player to
revitialize their digital signage network.

"How
do I measure digital signage internally?" has been an age-old
question without an easy answer. I faced this challenge back when I
managed my own network at Rolls-Royce. It's a lot of anecdotal
feedback, mixed in with focus groups and surveys, and sprinkled
with gut feelings.
Every month, the fine folks at
Digital Signage Expo asks an industry-related
question its Advisory Board. This month's question focused on
properly measuring digital signage.
“What do you believe are the best practices in
measuring viewership? Is employing a marketing...

With the dangerous weather that has hit many parts of the Midwest
and South in the past month, I'm sure (and hopeful) that many
crisis communication plans are being dusted off.

Crisis planning is one of those efforts that most companies do but
hope they never have to enact. I've been a part of many
crisis and business continuity teams where everybody has the
classic red binder that nobody thinks will ever get
used.
But do employees know what to do? And what about environments where
you might have customers on site. Will employees know what to...

Most of our
digital signage network owners know
exactly what type of content they want to put on their screens. For
banks, it's put up the latest promotional messaging to reinforce
their brand. Hospitals? They want to reinforce their brand just
like
banks, but
also add in softer health-related messages. And
corporate
communication networks are never in shortage of content.

But the big question comes down to balance. How much is too much of
one thing or not enough of another?
Kim Sarubbi, the president & CEO of
Saddle Ranch
Productions, weighed...

One
of
digital signage's greatest strengths is
displaying video without any push or pull from the viewer. And this
is especially true (and valuable) in corporate communications where
often times employees cannot access videos off of an
intranet.
I picked up on this post from Sean Malone where he states that
"
the
use of video in internal communications is set to rise in the
UK." And this assumption is based on a recent trip he had to
the US. He cites three main reasons that the video production has
increased.
- It's never been cheaper or quicker...

(Today's guest entry comes from Mike Foster,
CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile)

More “big news” today from MediaTile – make that
“small news.” This morning we announced a new, smaller
form factor of our HumanKiosk.
The new system is a 19” configuration that provides a more
personal, and intimate experience. But best of all, it can be
deployed in far more locations than the larger, floor-standing
versions.
We’ll be demoing the new system, which our engineers internally
refer to as “mini-me,” in booth #712 at this week’s CETW (Consumer
Engageme...
