It’s been another busy month and we’re very delighted to see the number of members on the digital signage portal growing.

For this particular newsletter, we decided to promote our portal and showcase some of the functionalities and features the portal brings to our members. Many of you may not have the time to fully take advantage of the portal functionalities but let me remind you that by participating in forum discussions and submitting your blogs entries (just to name a few), you’re actually exposing your business to thousands of readers around the world – this is one of the many advantages of using the digital signage portal.

 

Lets firstly look at the digital signage portal forum. http://www.digitalsignageportal.com/Digital-Signage-Forum/

This question has been on my mind this past week and I’ve been wondering whether digital signage businesses have been impacted from this economic downfall.

After speaking to several people about this topic I came to the understanding that out of all the departments in a company, the marketing team would be the first group to go. The marketing team generally spends money to make money so this is one of the main reason why a business would strategically decrease the head count of this department. What this may potentially mean for digital signage companies is that less marketing people would look for spending money in deploying digital signage solutions even thought the solution may increase sales and profit (needs to be qualified and quantified).

We haven’t felt the wave yet in Australia but I’m sure that it will hit us any time soon.

What are your thoughts on this? Visit the digital signage portal forum to discuss further.

We have recently updated the look of our digital signage portal forum. Below is a screen shot:

Our main aims for the forum are to:

• share digital signage knowledge with others
• discuss about various topics in the digital signage industry
• centralise support related questions for products we support and sell – for example we just posted the following forum items; How do I upgrade the firmware on the NDSP-500?, Help, my NDSP-500 is no longer working. One person found this really helpful, as it provided some assistance to fixing problem.
• provide a forum facility for digital signage manufacturers that don’t host their own forums

Registration is free. Please note, posting or replying to threads is only permitted for registered members.
