First ever annual US Banking Social Media Report from DigitalMR and Cicero to reveal that American Express is the most popular bank according to customer comments on the internet

(PRWEB UK) 14 August 2012

DigitalMR and Cicero analysed over two million online customer comments regarding the main US banks and associated financial services companies from April 2011 to March 2012. The social media report (powered by SocialNuggets) analyses customer comments posted via a range of relevant finance related websites and open access social media platforms. It measures not only the number of comments posted by consumers on the internet, but also sentiment – whether these posts are positive or negative. The full report will cover:

    Customer insights that can help banks shape their marketing and PR strategies
    Share of voice for top 20 banks
    Net Sentiment Score (NSS) for top 20 banks
    Top 10 Topics by number of mentions
    Individual focus on each of the top 20 banks
    NSS by Topic
    Top social media sources by number of mentions
    Breakdown of customer sentiment on Twitter
    Recommendations on strategy for the use of Social Media Research.

DigitalMR Commercial Director, Tom Hogg, commented: “A Net Sentiment Score provides an overall benchmark that indicates how well banks are perceived by their customers. In particular, banks recording negative scores need to focus on the areas where they can achieve the biggest gains – areas that are highlighted by the feature level NSS methodology”.

Report Highlights

Top 3 Highest and Lowest Net Sentiment Score

DigitalMR’s report will measure, not only the number of comments posted by consumers on the internet, but also sentiment – whether these posts are positive or negative. The difference in the number of positive to negative posts that each bank attracts, provides it with a Net Sentiment Score (NSS). NSS is an overall percentage score of net positive posts. Among the Top 20 banks the top three best performers in terms of achieving the highest NSS were:

1)    American Express 63%

2)    Orchard Bank 59%

3)    Suntrust Bank 49%

The bottom three performers among the Top 20 banks were:

18) Bank of America (-9%)

19) Sovereign Bank (-10%)

20) Countrywide Bank (-17%)

Results are based on comments posted by consumers on the major US banks and financial services providers including: CitiBank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, US Bank, American Express, HSBC, Capital One, Barclays, JP Morgan Chase Manhattan, Morgan Stanley, TD Bank, PNC Bank, Regions Bank, Discover Bank, Suntrust Bank, Bank One, Orchard Bank, Countrywide Bank, Key Bank USA and Sovereign Bank.

Digital Signage Hardware: Integral Part of Signage solutions

Information can be relayed to consumers and potential customers in real time using out of home advertising. Digital signage hardware, software and content together make up the solution used for this form of advertising. Using this technology, a retailer can control and display the information quickly and effectively and can target a specific audience at specific locations in real time. Content can be rapidly updated without any additional investment offering higher rate of returns than in static forms of advertising. Since content can be updated quickly without additional costs, this technology is a more preferred medium over the static technology used in advertising.

Both software and content cannot work independently until there is a medium to display the information. This is where the hardware plays a major role in digital signage technology. CRTs, plasma displays, LED, DLP, Video walls and LCD displays can all be used to display the information and content which can be in the form of data, animations, images, video and multimedia. Software on the other hand comprises the core of the solution. It supports the most popular industry standard file formats such as Flash files, Video, HTML, QuickTime, Microsoft Office, and JPG. It can be customized based on the nature of targeted information and used to control either a single or multiple interfaces. Content can be regularly updated manually, through a scheduling system, or by linking in with an outside feed so that appropriate messages are displayed.

An amalgamation of digital software and digital signage hardware and content, the digital signage solutions require a thorough understanding of the network and bandwidth availability for successful deployment. These solutions can be controlled through IP and content can be changed and updated from any location by just using a web connection. Two important points to be kept in mind while using this solution are that the system which is being used for this technology should be able to operate on the network without affecting normal operations and should also have the capacity to accommodate growth irrespective of how diverse or complex the future requirements may be. Due to their flexibility and profitability, these solutions are being used globally, increasing the demand for the digital signage hardware products.

Bonfire Labs :30 Spot for RICOH THETA 360 Makes Heads Spin During Womens British Open

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2014

Creative content agency Bonfire Labs’ new :30 television spot, “Beauty Is All Around,” created for RICOH THETA 360˚ camera, made its U.S. debut this past weekend during the Women’s British Open on ESPN. The spot, which debuted as a digital 3-minute concept video on Sept. 5, 2013, made such an impact that Ricoh chose to take it from online to broadcast. The spot has already aired in Japan, and now begins its national American run.

The :30 spot can be viewed and embedded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tDT6-m4BAY&feature=youtu.be.

Ricoh first approached Bonfire Labs in early 2013 to help launch their amazing new camera called the RICOH THETA, which shoots a 360˚ (spherical) image.

The agency’s assignment was to engineer a tagline, website, concept/inspirational video, and a how-to video for the worldwide launch. Working with the Ricoh product team in both the U.S. and Japan, Bonfire was challenged with introducing the product in a way that was as innovative as the product itself.

Bonfire rose to the challenge by incorporating the street appeal of freestyle public art in a 360˚ environment. Bonfire secured a large studio to provide a blank slate for acclaimed muralist, Sirron Norris, to express his art. Over a two-day period, Sirron prepped and painted the space. The process was seamlessly captured using the RICOH THETA, with the assistance of a tiny robot, the “roboTap 3000,” that Bonfire Labs created to generate a time-lapsed image capture of the artistic process.

The resulting video displayed the ease of use and visual appeal of the camera while piquing the interest of its intended target audience with cool, creative subject matter.

Starting with a live action “concept” video, the animated “how to” video and continuing with a responsive design for the micro site, Bonfire’s campaign tagline “Beauty Is All Around” informed all the creative for the launch.

“The original digital creative for this spot resonated with Ricoh’s target audience,” said Carey Crosby, Executive Producer at Bonfire Labs. “Our team worked to hard make sure the broadcast creative made as much of an impression on audiences as the longer online version did.”

Wayfinding Signage

Wayfinding signage is exactly what it sounds like: signs that help you find your way around cities, buildings, and offices. First coined by architect Kevin Lynch in his book entitled “The Image of the City” that was published in 1960, the term “wayfinding devices” was first used to refer to maps, street numbers and directional signs. Nothing is so frustrating as arriving on-time for an appointment and then being late for a meeting because it is impossible to find the location of the conference room. If you add to that physical and visual handicaps that also impair the ability of some people to successfully navigate unfamiliar territory, you will easily recognize the need for logical, clearly printed signs.

That is why today’s leading designers of directional signage need to be masters of a variety of disciplines: art, engineering, architecture, social science, law, marketing, and project planning. A well-executed signage plan incorporates the branding, logo, and marketing mission of a company into a unified whole that instantly creates an aura of success, expertise, and dedication to quality for everyone who walks through the door. Many of these signs have to follow legal parameters in design as well as location and installation. It is important to provide visually-impaired clients and associates a safe place to tactilely read the sign, out of the way of swinging doors and pedestrian traffic.

All of the signs your company uses should be part of this unified presentation from the architectural signage outside to window and door graphics, to ADA signage as well as all of your interior signs. Done well everyone who walks in your door will know what you do, your guiding philosophy, the attention you pay to details, and the value you place on your customers without your sales force even having to say a word. A unified branding across all the signage your company uses will allow your representative to create a space on a gymnasium floor that is uniquely branded as yours.

A successful implementation of wayfinding signs as part of your branding signage will:
* insure that a visitor can easily see the starting point and can conceptualize the destination;
* identify the current location at points along the way;
* offer reassurance that the visitor is going in the correct direction along the way;
* help the visitor identify any potential hazards along the way;
* and will identify the destination upon arrival.

Kaiser International is an established sign company that really knows signs and wayfinding signage(s) .

Restaurant Digital Signage ? Digital Menu Boards

Corn Digital provides restaurant digital signage that transformed static menus to dynamic displays with a variety of contents to attract customers, and allows other advantages such as web-based editable menus, schedulable playlists, scrolling text messages with RSS feeds and many more that provides flexibility for restaurant managements to change menu item, price, and promotions faster and easier.

 

Traditional static menu board before digital signage requires the rotation from one sign to another when needing changes from one daypart to another, and items that are sold out or no longer carried were often still left on the board, covered by tape, or crossed out by marker. However, since the beginning of digital signage, not only have restaurant menu boards been transformed from static to dynamic displays with a variety of contents to attract customers, but they also have other advantages such as web-based editable menus, schedulable playlists, scrolling text messages with RSS feeds and many more that provides flexibility for restaurant managements to change menu item, price, and promotions faster and easier.

 

One of the fast growing yogurt chain stores has been adopting Corn Digital’s digital signage not only as their menu board but also as their in-store marketing display for promotions and launching product awareness campaigns. With Corn Digital’s Ceres-88 media player and a low cost 42-inch display mounting on the wall behind the counter, the space which they can only place one poster can now display multiple images and videos.

 

Moreover, with the web-based content management platform, they can make changes to the display anytime from anywhere. Jihane Mahani, one store manager states “. . . I wanted to . . . share the great experience Yogurt Blast had working with Corn Digital. We are very happy with our Digital Menu Board and personally extremely satisfied with the wonderful customer service. I would absolutely work again, and again, with Corn Digital. Thank you . . .”

 

Another Japanese ramen franchise in the Los Angeles area is also giving Corn Digital’s digital menu board a try at their newly opened food court location inside a shoppong mall. With three 42” LCD displays mounting on the walls behind the cash registers as digital menu board, and another one at the front entrance as welcome sign and marketing display with promotions, specials, and store events. Customer have been extremely satisfy with Corn Digital’s web-based content management interface which requires no installation, is easy to use, allows one-click remote web updating, and menu editing features. Without hiring any additional staff, the store manager has been able to utilize current staff to update menu items, pricing, and images for these digital menu boards.

 

These are just two examples of Corn Digital’s successful restaurant digital signage deployments. Almost all of our clients who installed digital menu boards are satisfied with their attention-grabbing appeal which leads to increase in overall customer experiences and sales amounts.
