ScreenScape Member Profile – Budd’s BMW

Budd’s BMW, a well known luxury car dealer in the Greater Toronto area, has known for some time how effective place-based media can be as a way to engage customers and spur conversation on the sales floor. Prior to adopting ScreenScape, Budd’s BMW tried an alternative digital-signage solution and found it relatively expensive and difficult to use.  After switching to ScreenScape, they learned that the choice of software provider made all the difference in the world. Ever since they have been enjoying the benefits of place-based media without the pain. In this short video, Darryl Budd, General Manager of Budd’s BMW, talks about the ScreenScape digital-signage experience.

A New Look for ScreenScape

Kaizen: “small and never ending improvements lead eventually to greatness”

Place-based media vs. Conventional Digital Signage

The next logical step in the evolution of digital signage is to embrace the Internet and tap into its enormous connective power.

A new generation of place-based media technology has arrived and it’s opening up an entire world of new possibilities.

Using the lnternet, businesses can now share text, images, and video across an open network of public digital displays to create a powerful and cost-effective onsite sales & marketing engine. But that is just the start. When place-based media takes advantage of the Internet to connect sites under one common standard, one community, a new, more scalable, network economic model emerges. ScreenScape has seized upon this opportuntity to build a scalable B2B eco-system that loosely connects marketers with thousands of points-of-presence using the same techniques and the same principles that all Internet communities use.

By logically connecting audiences inside thousands of physical places the ScreenScape Community serves as a powerful open place-based media network. It offers members a repository of community-shared content and a pool of targeted sales and marketing opportunities. The net effect is to make place-based media easier and more affordable to deliver and more effective as a tool for engaging with today’s connected consumer.

The main advantages of place-based media over traditional digital signage systems include: cost-savings, simplicity & ease-of-management, and scalability.

See the following comparison chart for a detailed breakdown of the differences between today’s place-based media and the world of digital signage that dominated the broadcast era.

Join us on Foursquare Day 2012

ScreenScape is thrilled to be supporting and participating in Foursquare Day again this year.

If you have ever been to a Meetup or a Tweetup…you may already know what Foursquare Day is all about. In 2010 the New York City location-based marketing service, Foursquare, officially declared April 16 “Foursquare Day” after a grass-roots movement that began in Tampa, Florida gained traction and eventually spread to hundreds of cities throughout the world. Foursquare Day is now a global social media holiday celebrated every April 16th. If you live in a major metropolitan area chances are there’s a progressive restaurant or bar in your area that is hosting a Foursquare party. Here are a few of the best online resources to learn more:

As an online service for engaging audiences inside real world places ScreenScape is a natural complement to location-based marketing services like Foursquare. Using ScreenScape the manager of a venue such as a restaurant, a bar, or a hotel, can use a digital display to promote Foursquare check-ins and offer specials to patrons.
