Written by Guest Blogger: Nadia Jones Every sign has a purpose. Of course, some have more than others. The trend of using digital signage has become so rampant these days that many businesses and institutions, in my opinion, are getting them before even considering why they need them.

Renting movies has become such much easier especially when you have a oovie kiosk. I saw one at a petrol station and thought to myself what a “great idea”. Basically, the kiosk allows you to rent the latest dvd movies and the process is really simple. All you do is select the movie from a [...]

We recently received the first digital signage magazine published by an Australia company (alchemedia publishing) and this is really a good sign of the growth of digital signage in Australia. The great thing about the magazine was the case studies of digital signage implementations of local business in Australia. There is also the traditional advertisements [...]

This week the Retail Expo was held in Sydney Australia from the 20 – 22 September 2010.

digital signage is becoming quite popular for the real estate industry. I’ve seen quite a number of digital signage implementations from various companies and they all to appear quite effective. Some also includes touchscreens but what I found quite amusing was that people still don’t really know how to use these. I saw a lady [...]

This weekend every australia citizen had to vote for a new government. When I attended my local voting centre I noticed how digital signage was not there. There was a lot of the traditional papers being distributed as well as posters but there was no signs of screens or audio systems. I was disappointed when [...]

Last year we talked about how the new Google product called Google wave could be integrated with digital signage (http://www.digitalsignageblog.com/2009/10/30/thinking-of-ways-on-how-to-integrate-google-wave-with-digital-signage/) and the possibilities were endless. I’m so sad to hear that Google have decided to discontinue the Wave product. It appears not everyone jumped on board with using this product and hence the reason why [...]

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation launched the 24 hour news channel on the 22nd July 2010 at 7:30pm and I was there to witness the launch. It was a great event, the atmosphere was exciting. The reason why I was there was because I worked on getting the backend IT infrastructure working for their studio automation [...]

This one is a new one for me but seems like it’s an oldie. It’s amazing what humans can achieve when they all work together. This is almost as good as the countdown at the 2009 Olympics in Beijing. Some viewers are skeptical as to whether the video is real or not but to me [...]

I was walking past the ING building in Sydney Australia and saw a video wall made up of 18 NEC screens. The content seemed pretty static and the bezel was quite noticible but we all know that the smaller the bezel the higher the cost of the screen. Tweet This Post © AdvertiseMe.com.au for Digital [...]

Are proof of concepts a thing of the past? When we first started in the digital signage industry it was quite common for us to prove to potential clients that the solution they were getting met their requirements. The only way we could prove this was to setup a “proof of concept” – this is [...]

I stumbled across a video that I wanted to share with you all and in particular to the tourism industry. A company in the US has done a great job in getting passers by to interact with their wall by using twitter. The Canada tourism industry obviously knew what they wanted and how they could [...]

Screens, whether they are a plasma, LED, LCD or even a projector – these are one of the most critical components in any digital signage project. At advertise me we always recommend our clients to install a commercial screen rather than a residential screen but that’s going to be a different topic all together. So [...]

I recently thought of an idea (it’s probably out there already) to integrate digital signage and Skype (I’m sure you know what this is…. if not this is basically a computer application which allows you to make voice or video calls over the Internet). After all digital signage is a communication tool and what better [...]

Last week I was on a family trip at the gold coast and noticed how digital signage was everywhere. Most of the retail stores at Surfers Paradise had an LCD screen – I spotted quite a few of the Panasonic 42 inch Plasma screens. It was by sheer luck that I stumbled (I literally didn’t [...]
