Cracking the Code- Digital Display signs

SyneCore Technologies started out as a digital display company offering advertising mediums for small and medium sized businesses. 32-42 inch televisions screens were installed in venues with high traffic and above-par retention rates. Clients paid a price to advertise their company on the screens. A complimentary mobile marketing plan was the cherry on top for many companies.

The network now stands idle at 12 screens throughout the Southwest Metro. After analysing customer testimonials, market trends and industry statistics a clear understanding of the screens' value was missing. Many consumer find the screens as intriguing, new and exciting but we weren't able to deliver a quantifiable product that the market accepted.


A trip back to the drawing board paved the path for another round of inspiration and hope. We listened to the critiques of the previous clients and have fixed the bugs. The screens are now quantifiable with the aid of tracking URLs and mobile marketing. Landing pages help gather more intelligent data from the end user. Creative design work coupled with simplistic ad copy mold together , to create an ad powerful enough to strengthen any brand.

"The digital signage industry is only just beginning to hit its stride and move into more "non-traditional" areas such as education, hospitality, retail. We are seeing a rapid drive of broader-range environments that are finding that they must "bid, compete" for people's time and attention. Waiting areas in pharmacies, health care institutions, call centers/support organizations, offices are using digital signage to present a high-interest, highly-effective, controlled message. Even in manufacturing operations and employee communications, firms are using their intranet to keep employees abreast of company and industry information as well as to enhance their training/education." Jeff Hastings, January 9th 2012

We are on the brink of something exciting, fresh and new. Digital signage will be more dominate in the coming years and you will see more companies using it as a way to target niche markets.

Missing the Million Dollar Mark!

"I will be a millionaire by the age of 25, own a house on Lake Minnetonka, be married and have 3 kids." I reflect on this goal often. I won't hesitate to admit I have none of these, and am honestly far away from checking them off. So, what went wrong?

Saturday February 4th marks that monumental checkpoint in my life, a quarter century of being. Damn, I missed the bulls eye. Hold on, let's not be so negative. Sure, I didn't achieve the goals I had lain out for the past 10 years, but is that the point. I say no.

Setting goals is a healthy way to priorities our lives. My achievements demonstrate success. A high school diploma, class speaker at graduation, bachelors degree from a reputable university, a long time girlfriend of 5 years, 2nd degree blackbelt and a start up business not too shabby. Even though I'm not quite a millionaire, nor do I have a family just yet the underlining point is that I never lost sight of my goals.

You will learn life has a funny way of throwing in detours and challenges when you least expect. Just remember, it's not about the problems and challenges that arise, but how you overcome them and stick to your guns to achieve your goals. Keep your eye on the prize and you will get there.

Try using the SMART goals acronym. It stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time. Keep these in mind when you set your goals.

Remember set your goals and come back to them often. Post them on your wall or desk, tell everyone about them so they can remind you. It's not always easy, but that's not the point.
