All Digital Media, Inc. has chosen FrameMedia’s SignChannel “to provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional large scale digital signage advertising for small and mid-sized businesses in the Minneapolis region, while generating monthly revenue with minimal upfront investment.”
Alan Phillips, founder and CEO of FrameMedia, tells us that “Digital wireless picture frames offer a great alternative to high cost, large scale digital signage because a wireless Wi-Fi frame provides targeted content based on the flexibility of its placement, such as restaurant booths and waiting areas, without the need for professional installation. By utilizing SignChannel, All Digital Media has created a win-win situation for both itself and small and mid-sized companies looking to stretch their advertising dollars.”
All Digital Media, Inc. has, in fact, purchased over a hundred wireless digital picture frames and placed them in local businesses with smaller budgets, such as restaurants, gyms, spas, and fitness centers – businesses with a high concentration of clientele/customers – and, by using SignChannel, are able to generate quite a sum, per frame, per month!
“SignChannel has offered us the opportunity to take a practical, grass-roots approach to reaching advertisers in teh local community, right here in the Brainerd Lakes area. Through the innovative use of a Wi-Fi digital frame, we’re generating revenue with a highly customized advertising vehicle and getting in front of an audience at strategic locations where they’ll be most captive, such as waiting rooms in doctors’ offices or on the treadmill at the gym. We are excited to be the first in Central Minnesota to provide this unique service,” says Wes Hughes, owner and principal of All Digital Media, Inc.

RedPost is a small start-up software, and out of necessity, hardware company, based in Goshen, Indiana. The company first came to national attention thanks to its DIY digital picture frame kit, which includes a 19-inch LCD screen, a mini PC with wireless networking capabilities, and Linux, making the kit totally configurable and a tinkerer’s dream. But, it turns out, the digital frame kit is just a means to an end. The plan, according to CEO Eric Kanagy, is to develop the software backbone to create low-cost digital signage networks. Kanagy recently took some time to speak with us about RedPost’s genesis, future, and its commitment to sustainable practices.
Tell me about how you decided to start RedPost. What was the impetus?
What it came down to was that I couldn’t find anyone else doing what I was looking for. I had looked at this whole idea about 4 years ago and LCD prices were too high at that point. I was working for a local non-profit arts organization and was trying to think of ways that we could get the word out about the theater that we were doing and so looked at building a system like what is now RedPost/Goshen. Then, it was far too expensive.
This past fall, I started looking at it again … (and found that) LCD prices were half of what they were and then started looking into the digital signage market itself. Everything was very expensive, very proprietary, closed. Nothing was really what I would want in a digital signage system, which would be able to do whatever I wanted.
What was your background before starting the company?
I was a computer science major in college and I worked a summer for Transmeta out in Silicon Valley right at the height of the boom, right before the bubble burst. I worked for another tech company, a start-up, in Charlottesville, Virginia. I was developing software, web-based software. I have a pretty heavy tech background.
How many people are at RedPost right now?
There are three of us. Myself and two software designers.
