Sales Rep verses Touch Screen - who wins?
Posted on Fri, October 23, 2009
While attending a small conference for universities I noticed the LCD touch screen was the more inviting options for attendees in comparison to speaking with a sales person. During a 4 hour stint in the booth I collected 8 business cards and had some nice conversations, but during the lunch break I stepped away for 30 minutes and observed our unmanned booth from a distance. During that 30 minute stretch I noticed at least 10 people that had been walking around stop and play with the technology. The display was inviting and fun to play with allowing users to look through pictures of digital signage installs, experiment with way-finding, and view celebrity profiles on our mock donor wall. With a sales person in the booth attendees were apprehensive about using the touch screen because that means they would have to answer questions, but when no sales person was present it made the booth a completely different experience. Lesson learned - send more technology and less sales people to tradeshows and make sure the content is designed to capture contact details for people that want to learn more and let it run all day including after hours - who knows what type of person may come by and engage with the technology.

Rise Creative Services Example: Benefits of Interactive Digital Signage
Posted on Fri, December 11, 2009
Interactive signage offers numerous opportunities for companies to improve their connection with visitors and customers, and to streamline their ability to provide helpful information. With hand-held devices leading the way, consumers will become more facile with touch-screen technology, and start to expect it in every environment.
Following are three ways that companies can benefit from interactive digital signage:
Interactive Wayfinding. Companies with large buildings or campuses can be difficult for visitors to navigate, leaving company receptionists and security guards to spend a majority of their day directing traffic. A touch-enabled digital sign can improve visitors’ experience, while freeing personnel to focus on other tasks.
Interactive Conciergee. While every visitor benefits from the “personal touch,” it’s challenging to provide services around the clock. A touch-screen display can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help your visitors find what they want, when they want it, with the simple swipe of a finger.
Interactive Donor Walls. Many hospitals and universities rely on generous donors and patrons for funds; corporations like to recognize employee achievement—interactive signage is a unique way to show appreciation.

Funding Business School Trading Labs
Posted on Thu, April 1, 2010
Learning is serious business, and the best colleges and universities are constantly finding ways to improve the higher-education experience. While students choose colleges for a variety of factors, one of the most important is the school’s ability to prepare them for a career after graduation. Many schools are augmenting their business and financial curriculum by building an on-campus financial trading lab. These facilities often feature eye-catching equipment that attracts prospective students – and alumni donations – while creating the base for programs and courses that prepare students for high-level jobs.
For business schools looking to learn more about these specialized trading rooms check out the short 5 minute video overview about different funding ideas and examples on our website or our white paper on Trading labs.
