TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 07/13/15 — iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (“iSIGN” or “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: ISD)(OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves brands, commercial locations, retailers and service providers throughout North America have finalized agreements with Dynamic Digital Strategic Solutions, LLC (“DDSS) to confirm the terms of advertising revenue sharing as plans continue to expand the National Mobile Network to 10,000 locations.
iSIGN–s recent acquisition from Graphic Media, Inc. (“Graphic”), and Engage Mobile Media Solutions– of their proximity marketing assets, has allowed the Company more direct access to and interaction with both resellers and advertisers, which, in the Company–s opinion will allow for a speedier installation into locations and signing of advertising for the resulting network.
A case in point is the recent reactivation of Dynamic Digital Strategic Solutions, LLC (“DDSS”), who were initially signed as an iSIGN reseller in February 2014. Immediately after the initial announcement of the agreement in principle to acquire Graphic, DDSS came to the Company with several prospective contract discussions for iSIGN technology.
As iSIGN is now the sole point of contact for resellers, iSIGN has been able to work more closely with its resellers as evidenced by the recent finalization of an initial 2,000 location installation, as outlined in our press release of July 9, 2015, an installation that, based upon the current number of projected advertisers, would generate revenue to iSIGN of $485,000 US per month or $5.8 million US in a 12 month period.
As large scale brand advertisers seek to integrate into the most efficient device in modern history to saturate the human experience, the ability to make their name available via smart phones to every passerby within 300 feet is the leading innovation in marketing today. When profound messaging access meets the prime consumer, the message is targeted, educated and proficient. As such it is resourceful in that it varies its aim based upon the intelligence of the resultant real-time consumer data and habits, and continually increases efficiency with an ever growing volume of regular proximity users.
Given DDSS– background and client base, iSIGN considers them to be a strong business partner, who is capable of helping to move installations of iSIGN patented technology and award winning hardware forward in a timely manner. For those who are unaware of DDSS– background, please note the following.
DDSS, a subsidiary of Dynamic Digital Sign Solutions, LLC has been active in the automated equipment, automated teller machines (“ATM”), and digital signage industries for 17 years. Their affiliation with large scale ATM provider networks as well as the convenience store and hospitality industries allows them to create exceptional site and brand opportunities for wireless proximity marketing.
Nurturing nearly two decades of loyal customer and organization alliances, DDSS has solidified a strong presence and reach. Some past and current customers, providers, and project involvements include McDonalds, Standard Parking, NEC Corporation of America, NCR Corporation, DCR Strategies Inc./TruCash, Asian American Hotel Owners Association, Careington International, ScriptRelief, National Restaurant Association, Payment Alliance International, The New Jersey Transit Authority, Roadrunner Markets and CardTronics.
“We are currently operating with 1,800 clients in 25 States, concentrated in convenient stores and gas stations with a total of over 200,000 locations available for advertising brands to choose from at this time,” stated Joe Harris, Principal and Managing Member of DDSS. “Strategic alliances with multiple North American companies that have a customer base exceeding 11 million empowers DDSS to offer a premier value-added service portfolio, particularly in the hospitality, travel, hotel, restaurant, and convenience store sectors. Integration into static and interactive digital display further empowers the platforms.”
The collaboration of DDSS and its network of industry organizations and leaders including their valued properties and brands, with iSIGN–s industry standard proximity technology and advertiser capacity, will drive rapid program expansion and market penetration. The result will ensure contact with tens of millions of phones per day. With the establishment of the largest single direct-to-consumer mobile promotion network in North America it is expected to produce the most sought after marketing channel available today.
“With DDSS– solid client base combined with the success of the advertising trials in with major brands, we believe that we now have the ability to achieve a 10,000 location National Mobile Network footprint by the end of our next fiscal year, April 30 2016,” stated Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN–s Chief Executive Officer. “This sized footprint would result in revenues to iSIGN of $2.425 million US per month or $29 million US annually based on the current number of network advertisers. Any increase in the number of advertisers would add to these revenue projections.”
