Outdoor Vs Indoor Digital Signage

The digital out of home (DOOH) market has grown exponentially year on year over the last decade. Finally, the market is slowing as a zenith of digital signage screens has been reached in our shopping malls, concourses and transport hubs. However, there is one location where the ubiquity of digital signage has not yet been reached – outdoors.

Outdoor digital signage is a growing and now makes up a substantial proportion of all outdoor adverts, but there is still plenty of room for more. Outdoor digital signage has many advantages over indoor systems too, with larger audiences being the most prominent.

One of the reasons that digital outdoor signage is trailing behind indoor DOOH is that there are more hurdles to clear in taking a screen outside than for indoor signage. The first problem that has to be countered is weather protection. Weather protection is no just about rainfall protection, either. While the rain is one of many elements that can damage a screen, permanently, there are others: snow, hail, sleet and wind blown dust can all disable an outdoor screen so the device has to be protected against all of them.

Temperature protection is also a requirement for digital outdoor signage as in many locations. Screens can overheat during the height of summer but also freezing temperatures of winter can disable a screen too – so both extremes need to be prepared for.

Sunlight too can have an effect on an outdoor screen. Direct sunlight can cause glare and overheating, so precautions need to be taken to ensure the screen is either not under direct sunlight or that the problems are countered in other ways. Bright sunlight can also make a screen unreadable so high brightness screens are recommended to ensure readability during bright sunny days.

Finally, physical protection is also something that has to be countered before a screen can be left outside. The screen has to be secured from both accidental and deliberate impacts, whilst also secure enough to prevent theft.

Smartvm have an all round method of providing digital outdoor and indoor signage protection as the steel, waterproof enclosures will provide physical protection and prevent damage from the above elements enabling peace of mind and trouble free outdoor and indoor digital signage.

Peter Pal Disuja is a technical author and a specialist in the digital signage industry helping to develop outdoor and indoor digital signage and protection for plasmas. Please visit us Smartvm for more information about digital signage hardware and software or other digital signage solutions.

Benefits of Electro-adhesive Bulletin Boards

Electro-adhesive display boards are the newest creations around. These enable you to attach paper or plastic to bulletin boards without using pins, glue, cello tape or anything else. These are ideal for offices, classrooms, clubs, homes, apartments, and hundreds of other locations. No longer do you have to go looking for adhesives to stick notices on boards. Simply stick the paper directly on the board.

Safe to Use

Electro-adhesive boards are safe to use for both adults and children. Electrical energy is passed through the board, enabling any lightweight object such as paper to stick to it. The amount of electricity is very faint, and therefore poses no threat of electrocution. Gone are the days where you had to constantly carry glue, pins or tapes around with you. Cork boards that used pins can be unsafe in schools, where children are bound to be careless.

Clean and Tidy Look

With electro-adhesive boards, you can get creative without having to pin or glue various papers. You can easily decorate the board with various bulletin board ideas. It will look clean without pins and tapes getting in the way. Moreover, the entire surface of paper sticks to the board, unlike with pins where the edges separate from the board. A clean look is ideal for a professional business presentation. Again, you don’t need to worry about pins and tapes. You can execute your business presentation smoothly with no mess.

Green Display Boards

These revolutionary display boards are also eco-friendly. They do not require external adhesives such as tapes or pins. This helps keep the environment clean as the board eliminates littering of pins and tapes. Their electrical consumption is insignificant, which is no threat to energy resources. You do not need to use strong solvents or detergents to clean the surface of the board, which cuts down on the use of chemicals. It is engineered to last a long time, which helps you save money and the environment from buying goods and disposing off old ones.

If you are looking for state-of-the-art bulletin boards for whatever reason, the electro-adhesive board is what you need. They have many benefits as opposed to the conventional board types. You can finally stop worrying about board pins or magnets that only make the board look untidy. Moreover, there is no chance of losing those as you don’t need them at all. The innovative board uses a very minimal electrical power, which has no effect on the utility bill.

Social media can provide banks opportunity to shine

London (PRWEB UK) 25 October 2012

Social media can provide banks opportunity to shine

THE US banking sector has been slow to make use of social media and is only now playing catch-up with other industries, according to a new report released today.

The ‘US Banking Sector Social Media Report’, co-authored by Cicero Group and DigitalMR provides new analysis into what the sector is currently doing and how it should address its social media strategy.

The research found that despite many banks now operating on platforms including Twitter and Facebook, many are still failing to provide basic engagement with customers and understand what people are saying about them.

With over 93 per cent of comments being made on Twitter, the report suggests banks should be willing to use social media as a tool for providing stronger customer service and addressing potential issues directly over these channels. The report found that it may not only resolve issues quicker, but also allow the banks an opportunity to improve the level of positive relationships with current and potential customers. Ultimately, social media represents a key medium for banks to develop closer relationships with their customers in order to encourage them to recommend and advocate their products online.

Some banks are ahead of others, but the majority are still failing to grapple with the basics. One recommendation in the report is that banks can use digital media to illustrate their corporate social responsibility initiatives, making business plans more digestible and a tool for recruitment.

Commenting on the research, Cicero’s Head of Digital Chris Jackson said, “With over half the US population now on some form of social media platform, US banks would be missing a trick by not having a coordinated social media strategy.

“It not only allows banks to improve their reputation, but allows them to interact with customers and resolve any issues there and then. The key message from the report is this: it is possible to have millions and fans and followers, but without a strategy to use and engage this audience, then the use of social media is limited”.

This report is an entry into the world of social media for the uninitiated, but at the same time it can be a benchmark for the banks that already track their online reputation using social media monitoring tools. It is advisable to use multiple sources in order to validate the sentiment reported for banks in other sources.

For further information on the report and its contents please click here:

http://info.digital-mr.com/US-Banking-Social-Media-Usage-and-Reputation-Insights

Notes to Editors:

Results are based on 2 million comments posted by consumers between April 2011 and March 2012 on the major US banks 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.
