Setting up a business
I was going through old emails and came across this one from my accountant. It has valuable information that I thought would be good to share. LLC or Other Form of Entity: I would definitely consider forming an LLC. You could contact an attorney if you wish but many people having been setting them u...

Patent Finally Received
After lots of years and dollars, our patent was issued. Being my first completed patent, I'm kind-of new to all this and all the benefits. The patent is really quite broad which is quite amazing to have it through. The patent covers displayed content of digital signage at distant locations that is a...

More on Free
After reading lots of information regarding how free can earn revenue, it definitely came to light that you have to be careful with it. Obviously it can forever diminish the value of a product. One key point that I gleaned were that it is important to find ways that people will WANT to pay a little ...

When should you break everything to fix something
I am in the middle of much thought regarding communication between multiple servers, some production, some development and some on customer's premises that are fire walled from the world. Getting all of these to talk properly is getting very tumultuous and causing lots of necessity to tear things ap...

Now is the perfect time to partner!
Partnerships are a way to expand your current offerings into new areas that support your core sales. Interestingly, with the tougher economy, most companies are quite open to creative approaches to working together. Of course giving a piece of your business away often seems questionable in good time...

When is Free not good enough
The economy is taking it's toll on all of us, and it is interesting how it impacts people's thinking. Digital signage is one of those areas that actually makes money for a company that uses it. Our prices are low compared to most of our competition, yet I feel that in this economy, it would be good ...

Digital Signage Expo Show Report
First off, thanks to everyone who took the time to meet with me. This is an update of what was discovered at the Digital Signage Expo show in Las Vegas last week. One of the first things that I learned is that the Digital Signage industry is definitely an early market. The Digital Signage Associatio...

Patent Lessons
I just had a question about the whether pieces of a software product can be patented. Here is my reply.... You can patent just about anything if you pay the money and wait the time. We actually got our first patent almost through (where I can talk about it). We had applied for one with StrandWare, b...

In case you need to print
We just had a need to print some office material, and I decided to try uPrint.com. It was an excellent experience and very good pricing. We had pre-done artwork (which many of the online printing companies do not easily handle). They also help you with designs if you do not already have something re...

The future of digital signage screens
Although it has been around for almost 10 years, Digital Signage is still in the early stages of it's evolution. It has only started getting involved in integration and standardization, which is typically the beginning of explosive growth. That combined with the poor economy, the changes in how &quo...

Re: Digital Signage without a Computer
as you can imagine, there needs to be computer technology in any digital signage system. How it is packaged is another question though. Some do it with memory cards that just play the image or video in sequence. There are embedded pc's inside of lcd screens (which are quite expensive). There are sma...

Digital Signage without a Computer
We are considering adding some additional digital signage in our new learning center that will open in late May of this year. I would like to find a solution that does not require a local PC to drive the sign to save cost, energy, and avoid having to hide the unit with our open concept space. How cl...
