RedPost

We’re revamping our website a bit, once again, to try to talk about what RedPost is much more clearly. For starters, what do you think of the new home page?

For our next generation RedPost devices, we’re upgrading to the latest embedded mainboards, one of which is pictured below. It’s an Intel board, fanless, low-power, can have more memory and overall performs much better. We’re also working on a smaller device, which I can’t discuss to much yet at this point.

Here it is, fresh from the metal fab shop. Doesn’t it look pretty? We’re making a couple tweaks here and there, but overall, I’m really happy with it. And it ships flat, IKEA-style. The first batch are destined for Shipshewana, Indiana, where they’ll collect visitor surveys from the 10′s of thousands of visitors that go [...]

Here’s a screenshot of an IM conversation I had with Missy, one of the employees at BetterWorld Books’ retail store in Goshen, discussing their RedPost/Sign which we just recently moved to a more visible location right by the cash register: Missy’s been working on making new, simple posters to attract attention to their new bargain [...]

This is a picture of a combined QLess + RedPost display in a Sprint Store in Peabody, Mass. We also have the same setup in a Walmart vision center in Covington, Ga.

You may have noticed (and perhaps been disappointed) that I haven’t been blogging very regularly recently. What with our new Chicago office and my other travels and projects, I’ve just been busy. I also initially (3 years ago) thought the blog would be a great way to connect with people and, ultimately, to drive sales. [...]

We just refreshed the What is RedPost and Signs pages. Check them out — I think it’s a lot clearer than it used to be (but correct me if I’m wrong). A home page refresh is coming up next.

I’m sitting at the Electric Brew, where the first RedPost ever installed anywhere lives, and I just overheard this from an older gentleman having coffee with his wife: “Just a second honey I’m going to go check out that RedPost to see what’s going on this weekend.” Music to my ears!

We just updated our website and online store with the following: Sign/Kit: now in more sizes, from 22″ – 47″, using LG’s new Commercial LCD line which have built-in TV tuners and built-in speakers, also lower prices (bonus!) RedPost/Sign: now with a touchscreen option RedPost/Touch: when you need a simple, web-connected kiosk, this guy’s for [...]

Just deployed and now live: Organize: playlist sharing is now enabled — click on the “Share” tab when editing a playlist to share that playlist with another neighborhood; this enables users to set up different neighborhoods but share playlists between them (this feature is in beta, let us know how it works for you) Promote: [...]
