September 23, 2014

Samsung Electronics has opened the call for entries for its Samsung Small Business RedeSIGN contest, according to an announcement. Through the contest, Samsung is giving small business owners across the country the opportunity to win a Samsung Smart Signage TV (SSTV), its new digital signage solution that is intended to help businesses better communicate with customers and increase awareness of deals and other business offerings.

Small businesses have until Nov. 5 to take a quick survey to nominate their business to win a Samsung SSTV. Entries will be judged based on originality in demonstrating both a business need that would benefit from a digital makeover, as well as an innovative mindset toward growing their business. Some restrictions apply. Samsung asks potential entrants to see the Terms & Conditions in the entry form.

Available in 40- and 48-inch models, Samsung SSTV provides a complete platform for displaying digital content about new promotions and daily specials, sharing educational information about products and services, and broadcasting live TV for on-premise entertainment, according to the press release. Business owners can wirelessly connect to the TV from their laptop, tablet or mobile device to instantly publish and update content, or load new content using a USB drive. SSTV is ideal for use in small, single-location storefronts or service providers such as pizzerias, grocers, salons, drycleaners, dental clinics and more.

Key features include:

• Professional-grade LED-lit LCD display designed for up to 16/7 usage to align with standard business hours
• Included wall mount, stand and quick start guide to get signage up and running in hours
• MagicInfo Express, a built-in content management software that shop owners can use to easily update customers with information on discounts, store hours, special events and other promotional information
• MagicInfo Mobile, which allows businesses to make quick updates or upload photos to promotional materials directly from their Android or iOS mobile device using an app
• More than 200 free templates to create personalized signage designs or split-screen TV content
• Support for displays mounted in portrait or landscape mode
• Commercial grade 3-year warranty, with dedicated service and support

Samsung SSTV will be available this month at an MSRP of $749 for the 40-inch model and $999 for the 48-inch model through major club and electronics retailers, as well as select reseller partners.
