“Does your #digitalsignage do “tickers?” With #IntelRCM it can” tweeted @RetailerInsight pointing their followers at this rather useful (yeah, right) video tutorial on tickers… The @RetailerInsight account is self-described as ‘Intel discusses customer-centric strategies to help #retailers thrive, including #omnichannel, #inventorymanagement, #mcommerce, #relationshipmarketing’ but they obviously missed off tickers!

Saturday, September 14th, 2013

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Satisfaction equals Expectation minus Reality so billing a webinar as ‘ROI: The Indisputable Digital Signage Sales Pitch‘ is perhaps setting the bar a little high! Still, we often hear that the folks at iTeam rarely do wrong and we note that Bill Kazman, iTeam’s Founder and CEO, will be participating alongside OpenEye’s Bryan Meszaros in […]

Shops Are About Real Experience, Not Tech Wizardry

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Something we have been saying for a long time (often money is better spent on a comfy sofa in store or a bench on the pavement outside, than on poorly thought out digital signage) – the October 2013 MONOCLE issue 67, volume 07 has a great focus this month on reinventing retail. If you don’t […]
