Add You - Enhancing Customer Shopping Experience
Digital Signage is the name given to a new and emerging form of advertising that is growing rapidly in today’s digital environment. Digital Signage is exactly what its name implies. It is a way of utilizing electronic data to produce a sign that does not need to be physically altered in any way. The content and the message displayed on the sign is displayed on an electronic screen. The screen may be a scrolling message board or a LCD or plasma display panel. They are often viewed as electronic billboards. The sign is controlled remotely using a computer or other device that is remotely located.Although digital signage has been around for sometime, it has been extremely expensive in the past. It is actually the development of digital signage software that has spurred the rapid expansion into the market place. Walmart is one of the first retail establi

Have a favorite charity or non-profit community cause to which you contribute time and resources? Chances are your company will be interested in supporting it, too.According to the Giving USA 2004 study released by the Giving USA Foundation in the summer of 2004, American individuals, estates, foundations, and corporations gave an estimated $240.72 billion to charitable causes in 2003.

Do you get discouraged or stuck in building your business because you think there's too many others to compete against in your niche?

One day last week, I decided to work from the house since I had to head over to Rotary at noon. A little bit ago, a lady from the place where my wife gets her hair cut called to see if she was here. I told her she had left to go get her hair cut, then laughed and commented that my wife had indeed remembered the appointment this time.You see, the last few times she had a hair appointment there, something happened and she forgot to show up at the right time. Rather than continue to tolerate that behavior, the hair place invested 2 minutes of their time to call an hour before the appointment to remind her.Should they have to do that? Not really.Is it smart business? Absolutely.Why? Its your job as the business owners to groom your customers, train them and adjust their behavior as necessary.How? Make them an offer that makes

Well, folks, as luck and ratings would have it, it’s time for yet another season of that train wreck of reality TV, American Idol; the show that attempts to separate the talented from the terrible and brings them all into your living room each week for you to enjoy. Get ready to call in and cast your vote for who should be applauded and who should be muzzled. How fortunate we are to be living in a time when we can judge our fellow man via text message.And don’t forget your judges, ladies and gentlemen, the flaky Paula Abdul, the canine-obsessed Randy Jackson (somebody get this guy a dog), and the perpetually nasty, Simon Cowell; who gives new meaning to the term, "I don’t mean this bad, but..."To be honest, I’m not a fan of the show (too much negativity for my blood). The only time I watch it is when my wife screams, "Come here, you’ve got t

Product placement in store:
Put the most popular and latest products in front. New products which are attractive and create interest in the mind of customers should be put in the most visible place. Don’t try to keep every thing on display. Keep the display clutter free.
A store area can be classified into three types: main merchandising, display and cash. The merchandising area is where customers are visually bombarded with products available for purchase. The cash area is where the final sale takes place and is an excellent area to place small accessory items that appeal to impulse buying. Display spaces are used to create visual excitement and draw attention of customers. It also gives opportunity to create awareness about the new products and varieties available.
Take photos of the display and keep record of the product sales during this existing display. Save this information for future reference. It can even help in evaluating different display styles.
Store should give a balance view with respect to color as well as size of item placed. Generally heavy looking items and darker items should be placed near the bottom of a display. Placing too many items, or heavy items on one side create unbalanced view.
Effective Signage:
It is one of the easiest ways to convey message to the customers. Information about store name, pricing, promotions and product information may all be conveyed through signage. Do's for professional signage:
1. Visible and legible
2. Emphasize on main message
3. Place it where it will catch maximum customers' attention
4. Right amount of information with clarity
5. Attractive for customers
6. Simple and contrasting color schemes to
