LJ Hooker Eastwood goes digital with a Video Wall

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:00:41 +0000

advertise me was recently engaged by LJ Hooker in Eastwood NSW Australia to implement a digital signage Video wall. Here’s the case study:

The requirements

The main requirements were to:

Install a video wall to display real estate properties and staff profiles
Replace static listings with dynamic content
Minimise the effort required to update information on the video wall

The solution

The solution included the following hardware:

x4 40″ LCD Ultra Slim Samsung Screens
x2 Stainless Steel Poles
x1 Digital Signage Shuttle Player
x1 HDMI Splitter
Various cables (HDMI, Serial, CAT6)
Integration with the LJ Hooker E2 system

Real Estate Digital Signage LJ Hooker

The video wall was chosen as a strategic marketing decision to attract more customers to look at the amazing screens and their property listing. By using the Ultra Slim Samsung screens the video wall definitely attracted the attention to people passing by. Within a few minutes of turning on the system, people actually noticed the screen and stopped. The owner made a comment that this was the first time he saw that many people stop at the front of his office window.

Advertise Me is a digital advertising solutions company and developed an in-house solution to integrate the LJ Hooker’s E2 system with their digital signage software. This meant that there was no effort required from staff when updating the listing on the screens as this was managed all via the LJ Hooker E2 system. The screens are used to display 4 property listings and then switches to display a real estate agent’s profile with the properties they manage. As an added feature, Advertise Me developed a plugin to display the real estate properties on a Google Map and also developed a custom RSS content creator for the real estate agents to quickly and easily display messages on their profile page.

Advertise Me is looking at expanding this solution to other real estate agencies next year. They will be also launching their Real Estate SMS solution which is currently being trialled by a Real Estate agency in Sydney, so it looks like it will be a busy year for Advertise Me.

Great features in Saasu.com

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:32:19 +0000

Accounting can be a tedious and time consuming task but we just discovered that Saasu.com can eliminate some of the most boring and repetative tasks. One of them is the bank feed feature. This allows the system to connect to your bank to download all the transactions. This means you don’t have to export or import your transactions manually. Once you import the transactions all you have to do is allocate it to a transaction.

But that’s not all, the system also has another feature called Rules. The system can automatically allocate each transaction to a particular account based on a certain criteria.

To do this login in and click the Automate tab:

Click More and then select Fast Coding View:

Once you’re in the Fast Coding View select the transaction you want to create a rule on and click the wheel:

Enter the account the rule will allocate the account to:

And that’s it. You’ve created a rule. So basically, the rule will check to see if the transaction contains certain text and then it will allocate to the account. To check existing rule you will need to click Bank Feed Rules:

How awesome is that!!! This is a well deserved Accounting application for any type of businesses. Well done.

digitalsignageblog.com – best investment we ever made

admin — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:37:28 +0000

A few years ago when we purchased the domain name – digitalsignageblog.com we didn’t really realise that we purchased a gold mine. It is probably one of the best investment we ever made for the company. When we first started the business in the digital signage industry we didn’t have a clue as to what this new technology was called. It was just by sheer luck that one day we searched for what domains were available relating to digital signage and it so happened that the digitalsignageblog.com domain name was available – someone probably forgot to renew it. So luck was on our side and we immediately purchased the domain. Now we believe it’s worth something – not in terms of money value but in terms of content and leads. I strongly believe that the site has generate leads for the company, especially by being sponsors for each of the articles.
What we learnt from this is that if you have a website you’re thinking of buying, just buy it before someone else does.

Fastest growing advertising mediums

admin — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:31:30 +0000

It has been brought to our attention that online digital advertising (this includes mobile phone, iPad, Internet websites) and digital signage are the fastest growing mediums compared to the traditional TV, Radio, Newspaper and Magazines – digital content is being displayed everywhere. Why? Because it’s easy to just distribute digital content.
Technology has dramatically changed our lives and if you’re in the marketing industry you would have also noticed the shift in the way a business realigns itself with technology. More businesses are now building an online presence and have realised that even though they have a website, they may not have the exposure on search engines to increase the visitor hits to their websites.
For advertise me, most of our clients and leads are from the website and we rely on search engines for our marketing strategy. May be we’ve been lucky… or maybe not. From the beginning, it was one of our main goals to be at the top of the search engines for quite a number of search terms such as digital signage, digital advertising etc.
So we’ve leveraged our online Internet presence to market another great advertising medium called “digital signage”. Digital Screens are appearing everywhere and I can’t stress how important it is to use this medium to advertise your products, sales or even to engage customers to walk into your store.

Yes, some people are skeptical about the ROI but there’s many case studies out there that proves otherwise. The question you should be thinking is “Why fall behind your competitors when everyone else is doing it?”.
At Advertise Me, we’re all about finding innovative ways to advertise YOUR business. One of the products we’ve built is a website called squeak.com.au – you basically list your sales online and people searching for sales will find it.

The Launch of the HTC Desire HD from Vodafone – order now

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 11:09:02 +0000

Today was an exciting day. Vodafone finally launched the HTC Desire HD and I had the chance to play with one today. I went around to most of the Vodafone stores but they didn’t have any in stock – don’t know why but I thought I’d try much luck and went into Crazy Johns. When I went to the counter, the sales guy was actually holding one so I asked him whether I could play with it. What an impressive little unit. I immediately wanted to get one so I told him my contract will expire next month and he responded that they do not do upgrades. My world shattered!! I walked away dissapointed but ended up just calling Vodafone and ordered one. They told me that I was the third person ordering the unit… I guess not many people knew that it was getting launched today. If you look at the vodafone website they didn’t make any big announcements about this launch (the blog doesn’t even mention this) but are actually selling it. They were also showing the $69 plans ($10 discount) for 650 minutes, free voda to voda or 3, unlimited SMS and 2G data. I did receive an SMS message stating “As agreed, yr new upgrade to $59 cap & HTC Desire HD has been completed and your plan chance will take effect immediately – Vodafone”.
Also, if you’re looking at getting one, Vodafone is actually increasing the Data Plan to 3Gigs for the first 12 months (apparently its an Android special).
