Best Buy Canada Ltd.'s Commercial Sales Group Partners with Pattison Sign Group

Companies to provide leading edge services in the growing and expanding area of digital signage

BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 4, 2007) - In a partnership that unites two leaders in their respective industries, Best Buy Canada Ltd.'s Commercial Sales Group and Pattison Sign Group have launched a digital signage support network to deliver customized and tailored solutions to clients in Canada and all over North America.

Digital signage refers to easy-to-use and adaptable electronically controlled signs that use still images or video to capture the end user's attention and alert them to an opportunity or information that is relevant to them. Digital signage can be electronically updated without the cost and expense of changing the physical sign itself. Thus, changes can be made quickly and cost effectively, and dynamic targeted messages can be distributed to hundreds or thousands of displays at once.

"Digital signage is the communications wave of the future and is growing exponentially," said Bob Golden, Vice President, Commercial Sales Group & ReClaim Insurance Replacement, Best Buy Canada Ltd. "Our Commercial Sales Group's technological expertise and access to leading edge hardware from major manufacturers, together with our partner, Pattison Sign Group's installation and program support capabilities, provides businesses across North America the ability to reach out and target their customers more effectively."

Technological advancements in digital signage strongly influences the way that a customer experiences the information about the product or service being offered and the environment in which it is presented. Deploying digital signage is an effective way to make signage stand out and provide content that is relevant, useful, interesting, compelling and inspiring.

"At a time when businesses are striving to find new ways to cut through the clutter and target the right customer who is now more mobile than ever before, this digital signage partnership provides clients with a full and robust digital signage turnkey solution, and an innovative and unique way to influence the decision making process," said Franco Ferrari, Pattison Sign Group's Vice President, Strategic Development. "It's basically a new way for our clients to touch their customer at the first moment of truth."

The Commercial Sales Group at Best Buy Canada Ltd., is already working with several leading companies, including McDonald's Canada, Mark's Work Wearhouse, Earl's Restaurants and BC Place Stadium.

It appears that Best Buy is looking for ways to sell LED and other "green" technology solutions. Here is press release where they announced a partnership with Permlight http://sev.prnewswire.com/computer-electro...10072006-1.html

I have never seen this at any Best Buy - has anyone else?

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
