Outdoor Digital Signage Menu Board

INSIGHT DIGITAL SIGNAGE, the leading manufacturer of protective enclosures

for LCD and plasma display equipment, has introduced a completely weather

proof Digital Menu Board enclosure product.

The Digital Menu Board enclosure has been designed to endure even the

harshest of environments while constantly providing complete protection to

the LCD it houses. In the dead of winter, or in a desert heat storm, the

Digital Menu board enclosure maintains an appropriate internal temperature,

preventing any costly downtime and replacement from freezing or overheating.

The completely water proof Digital Menu Board will stand the test of time

where ever the location may be.

The Outdoor Digital Menu Board can serve as a single screen unit, or multiple

units can be attached for double screen menus and even triple screen menus.

The Outdoor Digital Menu Board will easily coincide with any existing signs,

advertisements, or menus already in place.

Digital Menu Boards allow users to convey their message more effectively than

static menu boards and reduces the cost of creating new graphics. With a

high bright display your menu board will be highly visible even in the

brightest sunlight. Our Digital Menu Board can even display eye catching

advertisements in addition to the menu products. Insight Digital Signage’s

Outdoor Digital Menu Board provides the most attractive and the least costly

solution for any outdoor menu need.

Digital menu boards for restaurant drive up windows are just one example of

outdoor digital signage. Similar to indoor digital signage, where LCDs are

used for advertising, branding, promotion and information, outdoor

applications take these vulnerable electronic units outdoors to where there

is typically a larger audience. Using LCDs outdoors does require protection

against rain, snow, wind, and vandalism. Proprietary and very expensive

outdoor LCDs are on the market, but the cost is usually far too great.

Perhaps the best solution for protection, value, and flexibility for LCD

displays in an outdoor environment is an LCD Enclosure. They can be

customized to suit almost any environment protecting any type of LCD display

from all elements and they are also far more cost effective than outdoor

rated LCDs.

In addition to outdoor digital signage enclosures, PC and LCD TV enclosures

are the perfect solution to display company or production information in wet

or dusty industrial environments such as factory or shop floors. Prices of

LCD and plasma televisions continue to drop. The falling prices are

encouraging LCD purchases for factory production floors for use in pushing

training content, quality control, sales data, production data and more to

the production floor.

The NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X PC and LCD enclosures are built with strong steel

material to withstand the harshest of environments, including pressurized

moisture, rain, dust, dirt, tampering, wind, oil, grease and more. Standard

cooling fans and optional AC units, heaters, and thermostats insure that the

LCD and/or PC inside the enclosure remains protected in any environment, even

outdoor, public, and industrial factory or plant environments that could and

can be very harsh.

Insight Digital Signage (A Division of PC

Enclosures, Inc.) is the leading manufacturer of

protective digital signage enclosures. Our

digital signage and LCD enclosures are the

perfect advertising solution for any location and

budget.

Digital Poster And Digital Menu Board

Commercial building owners have noticed how powerful a digital poster is, so let us check out how an lcd advertising display is utilized by property managers. Digital menu boards were very first used to replace static printed posters, but now these are growing in desire as fast as the digital signage industry itself.

The digital poster can exhibit the leisure opportunities available from theatre shows, to live comedians on stage, to dinner bookings at exclusive restaurants. These posters can be residing in the guest services division that way all information is displayed in bright neon writing. For instance, a reservation for 4 at an exclusive eatery can be posted on one section while another section can be displayed to show the various kinds of menu specials. That way you are able to divide the board into sections and market all the amenities your hotel offers.

Technology is driving digital signage into new and broader areas. In this tough economy spending thousands of dollars on advertising is just not realistic, so not all companies are in a position to advertise which is how their business eventually ends up crumbling. The two options above can provide the same end results with minimal investment of time and money, so now everyone from car repair shops to lawyers to retail shops, can now have these amazing marketing signs without losing any money doing so. They can be placed in their reception or customer waiting areas.

Digital message signs and displays were particularly designed for the reception and waiting areas, so they can inform and entertain customers when they are waiting for their meeting or their car. Now we see these in hair salons, dentists, coffee houses, restaurants and small mom and pop shops.

Selecting a LED message board is the entry level for any digital signage solution, as well as being the most affordable it is also the easiest to set up and configure. No software to set up or just a simple idea and the ability to transpose it on the board is all you need, once you do that turn the power switch and let the board do the rest. Screen sizes, range from 10inches and go up to 35 inches, can be mounted in either portrait or landscape position and be hung or supported by a custom easel.
Digital menu board.

As the name suggests, these were initially designed for displaying eye catching digital menus in Quick Serve Restaurants (QSR), and are now evolving from every type of business out there. One of the huge benefits with the LED board is it displays a more impressive content, and creates a WOW factor. When you are looking for a new advertising method, choose the best and let the LED Board boost your sales and get your business the recognition it deserves.

Human Circuit Integrates New Technology Enhancements in Council Chambers and Work Session Rooms for the City of Fairfax

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) October 17, 2013

Human Circuit has been working to help the City of Fairfax enhance their community communications programs for over 20 years. As a long-term trusted technology advisor, Human Circuit was asked to help redesign the existing technology in the chamber to allow the television studio staff to be more efficient using intuitive and versatile controls for their audio visual and broadcast systems.

Upgrades were made to their broadcast and television production core as well as to the work session rooms using advanced audio visual, digital and high definition technology for presentation, audio conferencing and broadcast systems. This system was designed to allow council meetings, and other events held in the chambers, to be broadcast live on the city’s cable channel and streamed on the City of Fairfax website.

Rachael Roth, Cable TV Manager for Cityscreen-12 stated; “Since the early 90’s we’ve been able to rely on Human Circuit’s knowledge and innovative solutions. They’re on top of the latest technology and always find creative ways to enhance and use the equipment that we already have in place. They worked out a system that revamped and combined the old with the new and provided an infrastructure that focused on setting us up for future needs. Human Circuit’s engineers came up with a way to short cut the use of a third party data stream provider along with bulletin board software that not only saved us money but saved taxpayer money as well. These enhancements are the last step in making us a soon-to-be, totally HD station”.

The production core was upgraded to allow greater flexibility with both a local control panel and a web browser interface. Up to sixteen high definition sources and stored stills can now be switched on‐air and an enhanced, state-of-the-arts mixing console allows for individual fader control during a live event. The mixer includes a total of twenty‐four inputs (sixteen local and eight via expansion card) and a remote control with faders and mutes.

To enhance the on‐air capabilities of the system, Human Circuit recommended and installed a dual channel, automation package with a graphics system that will allow a wide variety of custom logos, crawls, DVE content, and other information to be displayed along with play-out of the City’s bulletin board.

Bruce Kaufmann, President and CEO of Human Circuit said; “The City of Fairfax has been a long term client for us, and we have a special working relationship that includes a mutual trust between our staff and theirs. They are confident in our ability to design and implement new technology solutions and our alliance is a model for a successful business relationship. They have no doubt that we share their mission to enhance communication to their citizens”.

Adoption of Patient-Centric Strategies Drives Interest in Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing, According to a Soon to Be Released Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013

Follow us on LinkedIn – GIA invites senior industry executives, domain experts, technologists and market strategists to participate in a comprehensive global research initiative studying the “Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media” markets. The study will examine key drivers and trends impacting the market such as growing awareness among pharma companies over the importance of customer engagement against a backdrop of an emerging era of participatory medicine; increase in the number of social media projects undertaken by pharma companies worldwide; growing use of social media in drug development and discovery in addition to drug marketing; rise in the number of human clinical trials and the role played by social media in improving clinical trial enrolments; emerging significance of digital health and digital health feedback systems.

Defined as the use of digital marketing tools such as websites, e-mail, apps, and social media for superior customer experience management, Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media is currently a ballooning phenomenon in the pharmaceutical industry. With the internet becoming a key source for accessing health related information, digital health defined as the convergence of internet, genomics, and healthcare, is exerting pressure on pharma companies to remain relevant in healthcare. With social media already entwined into the very fiber of modern society, the value of nurturing social confidence in drugs and therapies among patients and caregivers can no longer be undermined. Also, information assimilated from social media conversations can provide critical insights that can shape the success of clinical development programs. Information shared by physicians can accelerate the drug development process and increase the possibility of developing new indications for existing drugs. The market is also expected to benefit from the growing importance of pharmacovigilance, as companies struggle to build public confidence by maximizing drug safety all through the product’s lifecycle. Social media engagement in this regard can provide valuable post drug approval, real life data in the form of both solicited and unsolicited opinions on drug safety from patients and physicians.

With over 5000 new drugs currently in clinical development, the task of recruiting patients into clinical trials is a huge challenge for clinical trial sponsors. Social media engagement in the pharmaceutical Industry can help create public awareness and improve recruitment outcomes. The coming years are expected to witness companies increasingly manage patient enrolment and retention strategies such as online patient communities, social networking sites including Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, online bulletin boards, blogs, and e-forums, among others.

The growing focus on reducing healthcare costs is also expected to encourage adoption of social media among pharmaceutical companies, since creation of a platform for information exchange at the community level provides a cost-effective direct marketing opportunity. The study estimates Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media to be a multi-million dollar market worldwide, while more precise market-size and growth projections will be made available during the 2nd stage of report preparation, and data analysis.

The research and analyses will be released shortly in the form of a comprehensive research report. The report by design, will attempt to provide exhaustive analysis, data, trends, market share, market size, statistics, forecasts and competitive intelligence. The report is modeled to offer precise and unbiased, actionable market insights including in-depth segmentation of market sub-sectors, demand estimates and projections and analysis of trends in each of the sectors, identification of leading players, and the competitive structure, among others.

Developed for Pharmaceutical Companies, Strategic Planners, Business Development Executives, Management Consultants, Investment Bankers, Consulting Firms, Marketing & Sales Executives, C-Level Decision Makers, Market Strategists and Technology Domain Experts, the report helps identify the biggest opportunities in this space and offers accurate latent demand forecasting that empowers quantitative decision making among existing market players and new entrants.

Smashburger Named Top Brand and Fazolis CEO Named Top Executive in 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers

LOUISVILLE, KY (PRWEB) May 19, 2014

“The 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers” publication was released this morning for download, after an awards gala last night in Chicago, timed to coincide with the National Restaurant Association tradeshow. Both “The Top 100” and the event were sponsored by restaurant equipment manufacturer, Henny Penny.

Judges determined the top 50 brands based on industry nominations and subsequent debate on the significance of the nominees to the segment. Criteria included innovation, growth, social responsibility and overall contribution. In addition, the judges acknowledged the 20 industry executives who have most contributed to the evolution and health of fast casual, the most influential menu innovations, and the most impactful food and technology trends.

Smashburger, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Fazoli’s were recognized as the first, second and third brands, respectively. Carl Howard, CEO of Fazoli’s, was named the industry’s No. 1 executive. The top menu trend was bite-sized food and snacks. The most influential technology trend went to mobile apps.

“This year’s competition was fiercer than ever; we had nearly 900 nominations,” said Cherryh Butler, senior editor of FastCasual.com. “In the end, the judges could not ignore Smashburger’s success. With more than 250 restaurants worldwide and a new CEO at the helm, the chain’s growth isn’t stopping, with plans to open another 70 to 80 units by the end of 2014. Combine that with its dedication to menu innovation and its focus on each local community in which it resides — every city has a special burger honoring its customs and serves local craft beers — and you have a fun, innovative brand that people love.”

“This award means a lot to us. Fast casual dining has been, and continues to be, the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry,” said Greg Creighton, chief operating officer of Smashburger. “We saw a need for better burgers in this segment seven years ago. People were looking for quality, service and atmosphere that the fast food burger chains couldn’t answer.”

“We are the leader in the fast casual burger business,” continued Creighton. “There is a healthy appetite for our quality burgers, chicken and salads. It’s the reason we are 267 units in seven short years. We plan to have about 400 restaurants open by the end of next year.”

“The Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers represent those brands, individuals and trends that are truly moving the needle in our industry,” said Jason Moles, field marketing manager of Henny Penny. “We are excited to partner once again with Networld Media Group and FastCasual.com to recognize these innovative brands.”

Of the $ 231 billion limited-service category, fast casuals now account for $ 34.5 billion, according to Technomic. The fast casual segment is driving the majority of growth in the restaurant industry, increasing sales 11 percent in 2013, compared to the industry average of 3.5 percent.

This year’s Top 100 report can be downloaded here.
