SignVine Helps Non-Profits Raise Funds for Outdoor Message Signs Using Crowdfunding

Ontario, CA (PRWEB) March 10, 2014

SignVine.org, is the world’s first and only specialized crowdfunding website that provides churches, civic groups and other deserving non-profit organizations a platform to accept donations.towards the purchase of an outdoor message sign.”

Paul Martin, Project Director, and Mike Prongue, Campaign Director, provided feedback regarding the SignVine website launch and the company’s mission.

“We’re so excited to launch. Our website is in beta testing now, but once that’s completed, we’ll begin uploading the projects we have, plus anyone else that wants to join us, and begin the SignVine journey!” Martin proclaimed.

“We’ve been working with sign companies in our builder network to identify deserving non-profit organizations and get them on-board with our mission,” Prongue said, “We’ve worked extensively with 2 or 3 of these sign companies. We call them ‘Builders’ but truly they are quality partners!”

A church, for example, needs a LED message display to replace their old monument sign. A church representative would register on SignVine.org and initiate an electronic fund-raising campaign to capture donations by supplying details about themselves and their outdoor messaging sign requirements. The church then works closely with a local sign company, part of the SignVine™ Builder network, to define the costs and technical requirements of the project.

Signvine will issue press releases, prepare promotional video, write the story behind the non-profit benevolent programs, work with media outlets to promote the project and provide guidance and extensive marketing support to ensure the funding goals are met.

“Our sign company partner, or Builder, will give them a realistic project quote,” Prongue said, “Then we help the non-profit with tactical advice to keep the energy of the campaign flowing so that funding goal is achieved. Breaking that larger dollar number down into smaller pieces puts the goal within reach!”

“We want this to be a fun experience, too,” Martin commented, “We employed a ‘Garden’ theme, and as our tagline states, we’re ‘growing’ a sign with the support of the community. The campaign coordinator for the non-profit is a ‘Gardener’ and all contributors are ‘Viners’”.

“Non-profit organizations are the backbone of our communities. They help raise our children, support the less fortunate and provide spiritual direction. Who is more deserving of an outdoor messaging system? Since they can’t always afford one, we help.” Prongue declared.

Are you a non-profit looking for a way to raise funds towards a new outdoor message sign? SignVine could be your solution. They are ready to help.

Adspace Networks Converts to BroadSign International, LLCs Digital Signage Software

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 03, 2014

Adspace Networks, owner and operator of Adspace Digital Mall Network, the largest Nielsen-measured digital place-based video network in the United States, announced today that it has selected BroadSign International, LLC’s digital signage software to power its displays in over 200 of America’s best malls.

Adspace has been aggressively expanding network partnerships, resulting in a broad range of different screens, configurations and formats. The scope, complexity and quality of the network’s content have also increased. To accommodate this growth and ensure their digital signage needs would be met moving forward, the company required a partner with a more robust operating system and a history of innovation to meet their clients’ changing needs. BroadSign was selected as the best match for these factors, as well as for its extensive programmatic ad placement capabilities. The conversion to BroadSign’s software platform began in March and is expected to be completed by the end of April.

“Adspace reaches 48 million individuals across the country’s top 45 DMAs every four weeks by providing programming that enhances the shopping experience,” said Peter Krieger, President and COO at Adspace Networks, Inc. “We decided to convert to BroadSign’s digital signage software because it’s a seamless fit for us to ensure viewers are exposed to constant uptime and premium playback, and can handle our dynamic data requirements over a myriad of platforms. Moreover, BroadSign has made a strong commitment to programmatic and real time buying execution, which we see as a major driver of our industry’s growth.”

Skip Beloff, BroadSign’s Vice President of Sales, said, “Adspace displays are viewed at a high frequency by shoppers in the United States’ most superior malls and as such, every facet of the network must bring quality performance. I’m certain that BroadSign’s robust and scalable platform, along with our BroadSign Connect solution, will satisfy these expectations.”

BroadSign is an industry leader, singularly focused on digital place-based advertising and dedicated to adapting to its partners. As an important element of place-based advertising, BroadSign has incorporated proper programming and coding bandwidth to handle programmatic requests; this provides third party verification and a more robust proof of performance system for partners and customers.

Both BroadSign and Adspace are members of the Digital Place-based Advertising Association and Outdoor Advertising Association of America. For more information about BroadSign digital signage software, book a meeting with a BroadSign representative at the upcoming TAB/OAAA conference.

The Heart Gallery of Broward County Announces Successful 2013 and New Executive Director

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 28, 2014

The Heart Gallery of Broward is happy to announce there were 25 matches that included 10 finalized adoptions for 2013. One of the programs that had great feedback from the community was the hands-on art class that was combined with a photo shoot. The children enjoyed the entire experience. The Heart Gallery was able to obtain funding to produce electronic kiosks to display the photos of the children with a brief description on each one. These will serve to augment the traditional photo gallery exhibit and will be placed at host sites in high traffic areas to increase the organization’s awareness and mission.

“We are looking forward to an exciting 2014 with the help of our new Executive Director, Yvette DuBose,” Michael Boorom, President of the Heart Gallery commented. “Yvette’s strong background in sales and marketing and over 14 years of experience in architectural specifications in marketing and sales will bring a strong leadership to our overall mission and goals,” he added.

Yvette DuBose also worked 13 years as a board member of the ACTSO Broward and as a mentor to high school students. “My mother was a foster child and she had a positive experience in her foster home and was later adopted at age 16; it changed her life for the better. I truly believe that every child deserves to feel loved and wanted; it is fundamental to the human experience,” stated DuBose.

The Heart Gallery’s initiatives for 2014 are largely our effort to continue to grow and expand our reach through innovative programs and events. The Heart Gallery will be introducing exciting programs throughout the year for the community to learn and get involved with the organization. One of the programs is the “Ask Me Programming.” Through this program the children were asked to tell the organization what it is they wanted to experience. The feedback was great and The Heart Gallery will be implementing as many as possible over the next year. The organization also plans to start a workshop feature to the Ask Me series to teach the children anything from financial awareness to how to tie a tie. To help with all the programs, the Heart Gallery is also launching a capital campaign, Campaign 214 an ongoing fundraiser for the year in which we ask donors to donate and invest in our programs and the children of Broward County.

“We also look forward to working with J. M. Field Marketing who is one of our corporate sponsors and helps us with our marketing efforts to get our message out,” commented Yvette DuBose.

For more information about programs, services and how to donate visit our website http://www.heartgalleryofbroward.org.

About The Heart Gallery of Broward County

The Heart Gallery’s mission is to provide innovative programs that help to promote the adoption and enrichment of Broward’s foster children. It is one of over 100 independent heart galleries across the country. We work closely with ChildNet and the local foster care providers to seek adoptive families and other connections for these children. The first exhibit was introduced in April of 2007.

The Heart Gallery of Broward County is a traveling photography exhibit of foster children who are waiting to be permanently adopted. The Gallery is unique: in concept- it is displayed in many public places just like an art exhibit- and in execution- every photograph is a vibrant composition taken by a professional photographer. Coupled with a bio card that describes each child’s personality and interests, the inner spirits of these unique children are brought to life. The Gallery presents an emotional appeal to the community to help:

    to adopt
    to volunteer
    to donate money or goods

The Heart Gallery provides a solution. It raises awareness of a major need and draws the community together to help solve it.
