Marketing Marches On With Digital Signage

The melodramatic march of the digital age continues with digital signage. Businesses everywhere are scrambling to convert to the digital religion. But its tenants are usually misunderstood, and there is an undermining challenge to every so-called holy book of rules. Digital signage is in its infancy, and businesses are just beginning to learn the rules of the game.

Digital signage is the method of portraying content, such as advertisements, public announcements, and schedules, on an electronic screen (LED, LCD, plasma). Digital signs play content from a media player, which may receive information from a single source (USB port, hard drive), or may use a networked content management system (CMS).

Some pundits question the feasibility of digital displays when the old static content worked so well for so long – to which digital proponents sardonically note that billboards, in fact, did not work so well and that modernity is a virtue, not a vice. Opinion aside, there are several reasons why digital signage may be a valid addition to a business’s marketing repertoire.

Messages can be tailored to fit demographics or geographical locations or – to borrow inspiration from Minority Report – each customer’s individual wants. As the vast majority of purchasing decisions are made in-store, anywhere from 70-85%, and the majority of these decisions are made within 3 seconds, on-the-spot digital displays are a business’s dream come true.

Personalized digital displays and interfaces may be more efficient tools to organize the board and employee meeting rooms. Ideas can be quickly organized and discussed; employee announcements can be declared without ado; online resources can be attained with a few clicks.

But despite its revolutionizing tendencies, little research has been conducted as to the real-world ROI of digital signage versus static signage. And in the business world, if the ROI is not positive, then the idea is, quite simply, junk.

Some marketers struggle to adapt to localized, dynamic advertising. Content must be dynamic, emotionally powerful, responsive, and answer customers’ needs.

The yellow brick road has ended; the rainbow has met the ground. Is there a pot of gold or an inept imposter waiting? Digital signage may be the next marketing revolution, or it may be a cute bit of businesses legerdemain. Businesses will continue to experiment with digital signage and its ability to quickly convey customized information to both consumers and internal employees. So the digital revolution marches on.

 

PWG Screen Media provide a full range of digital signage solutions and have worked with organisations such as the NHS and the Universal Music Group

Wyndstorm Corporation Rolls Out Virtual 3-D Party Scene for Beta Tests: 3-D Worlds, Avatars Become Backdrop for Kisses, Flirts, Audio-Visual Chats in New Lifestyle Entertainment Platform from Social Media Marketing Company Wyndstorm Corporation

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) March 17, 2008

    “RipLounge illustrates the value of Wyndstorm’s end-to-end solution,” said Marian Sabety, President and CEO of Wyndstorm. “When Stable Media approached us in September 2007 to build an entertainment platform, we offered them program design development, hosting and content management, as well as our online marketing expertise in order to build out their cool online destination where friends can hang-out and have fun together. RipLounge represents a new breed of networks, taking social media solutions to a new level,” Sabety continued.

Unlike other 3-D virtual worlds, RipLounge doesn’t require users to download any software. It provides a target market of 25- to 40-year-old social media users much more than a static profile. Instead, users get a sleek, interactive online experience of free virtual worlds, such as a swanky nightclub, beaches, and yachts, where they can meet, dance, flirt, kiss, hold-hands, and audio-visual chat. Via personalized 3-D animated avatars, users can invite friends to join the interactive social environment. RipLounge will showcase independent music artists, some of whose tracks will be available for download and play back. Advertisers will benefit from the targeted in-scene advertising, as well as the flexible profile-based data, available throughout RipLounge. Over the upcoming months, RipLounge will be expanded with new scenes and additional features for enriched member experiences.

“We are pleased to see the RipLounge project move to production,” said Andrew Stern, co-founder of Stable Media. “This has been a strong collaborative effort. Wyndstorm provided disciplined project development and deep technical expertise to drive this program to success, and we applaud the Wyndstorm team in reaching this key launch moment,” said Stern.

“RipLounge was designed to take social networking to the next level,” said David Abelson, co-founder of Stable Media. “Advertisers can choose how they want to be seen within the community. We’re trying to break away from the typical ad placements that users are not engaging in. We want to follow the lead of television and film in their ability to effectively advertise through product placement and content integration which enhances brand exposure while maintaining the integrity of the user experience,” Abelson added.

RipLounge is scheduled to open its doors April 1 and will debut to digital world at the Ad:Tech San Francisco trade show April 15 to 17.
