The Dallas CMS software firm Reflect has pushed out the executive summary of findings generated from a recent survey of 1,600 Americans on their preferences for shopping and the role of technology coming out of this pandemic.
The national study – called In-Store Shopping: Hiccups & Hangups of 2021 – showed a significant thirst for more technological advancements in brick-and-mortar stores, especially if they mimic the convenience and benefits of online shopping.
The online survey was run in mid-August and revealed 60% of those responding prefer to do more than half of their shopping online. Despite this majority, the findings also highlight a significant interest in in-store technology to enhance the in-person shopping experience – revealing how retailers can use tailored technology to draw customers back into stores.
Further insights from the study revealed a strong interest in specific technologies that can bring online features to brick and mortar stores. These findings include:
56% of respondents said product reviews would be the most helpful feature from online shopping they would like to see in-store, with price comparison second at 39%.
46% said they prefer a more DIY shopping experience, with self-service options.
83% believe informative digital screens would save time during shopping trips.
Of those who do the majority of their shopping online, nearly 50% say that informative, interactive displays would be the most enticing feature for them to shop in person.
Other findings include:
67% of respondents said what they miss most about in-person shopping is interacting with products and knowing what they’re getting.
80% of under-30 shoppers are more likely to shop in person than online if a store has interactive screens with product information, product comparisons and/or reviews.
55% said they prefer to shop in-person for food and grocery items, above any other product category.
Surprisingly, only 56% of younger Millennials (under 30) prefer to shop online vs. almost 70% of older Millennials (30-44).
43% of shoppers say the Delta variant will not have an impact on how much they shop in person.

AVIXA Will Champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at InfoComm 2023
FAIRFAX, Va., May 5, 2023 — AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, will continue to demonstrate its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at InfoComm 2023 this June 10-16 (exhibits 14-16) in Orlando, Florida. At the show, the AV community will experience more of the manifestation of AVIXA’s dedication to DEI through powerful conversations, diverse voices on stage, and programs to reach diverse youth.
“AVIXA is very proud of the work we are doing with the AV community to bring discussions on DEI out in the open and support programs that are making a positive impact. We want everyone to feel welcome to this exciting industry, because everyone deserves to belong and for their story to be heard,” said David Labuskes, CTS, CAE, RCDD, Chief Executive Officer of AVIXA. “In addition, it’s critical that the environment where we host InfoComm is inclusive to everyone. Laws that adversely affect women, LGBTQ+, Black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous, disabled persons, and others are not in line with AVIXA’s values. Orange County, Florida, the home for InfoComm 2023, shares our dedication to DEI and takes deliberate action to support diverse communities.”
Conversations to Implement Change
AVIXA is intentional about bringing new and diverse voices to the classrooms, panel discussions, and InfoComm stages. In 2021, AVIXA began the “pass the mic” initiative, where speakers are asked to include and support colleagues to present sessions at InfoComm to amplify more diverse voices and points of view. This program is yielding positive results – the InfoComm 2023 current speaker lineup is 26% female or non-binary and 25% minorities.
In addition, InfoComm 2023 will present sessions on how organizations can go beyond conversations about race and take action for racial and gender equity and the importance of leadership being purposeful about implementing DEI practices.
The session “Diversity & Equity in the Modern Workplace: Intentional Leadership” will feature industry DEI experts sharing their experiences and success stories on how belonging is a powerful sentiment that needs to be understood by leaders and ingrained into an organization’s DNA.
InfoComm 2023 will also host the annual AVIXA Women’s Council Breakfast featuring keynote speaker Dr. Tarika Barrett, CEO of Girls Who Code, who is on a mission to close the gender gap in tech and change the image of what a computer programmer looks like. Dr. Barrett will shine a light on the transformative power of learning spaces where women can collaborate to problem-solve, innovate, and envision themselves as leaders and equals in their fields.
InfoComm will also host students from The Loop Lab and Diverse Media Institute, organizations that provide audiovisual education with a particular focus on the DEI. The students will tour the trade show, attend seminars and workshops, and attend special AVIXA events.
On Friday, June 16, HETMA (Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance) and AVIXA will announce the recipients of the Prism Scholarships. Now in its second year, the scholarship program was created to encourage women, LGBTQ+, Black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous, disabled persons, and others to become active leaders and role models for technology managers in the higher education space. Recipients receive a one-year Elite Membership to AVIXA, inclusive of the entire online catalog of education, access to a virtual CTS prep course, course materials, the coverage of exam fees for the Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) exam, and more.
In addition, the AVIXA Foundation is currently accepting applications for its elAVate Scholarship and Mosaic Scholarship, which encourage and enable students from diverse backgrounds who show great potential to pursue careers in the audiovisual field. Applications will be accepted through September 3, 2023. Learn more and apply at www.avixa.org/scholarships.
An Environment for Everyone
At the Orange County Convention Center, attendees will have access to wellness rooms for lactation, medical needs, and prayer, in addition to gender-neutral restrooms. InfoComm is ADA compliant. For visual, auditory, mobility or other accommodations, attendees can note their needs when registering for the show.
DEI Support in Orlando and Orange County, Florida
The Orange County Convention Center is owned and operated by the Orange County Government.
Elected in 2018, the mission of Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has been to build a community that works for everyone, one where no one is left behind. The Orange County Government takes deliberate action to affirm and uplift the region’s LGBTQ+ community.
In 2021-2022, Orange County Government was the largest funder of mental health services for The LGBT+ Center Orlando.
Orange County Government led the development of a strategic relationship between the Department of Health and Come Out With Pride Orlando which resulted in several mobile vaccination sites during Orlando’s 2022 pride-week events and its pride parade and festival.
Orange County Government participated in peer-to-peer transgender support/education groups with Bliss Cares.
Orange County Government is proud to invest in its employee resources groups (ERGs), earmarking annual funds to support community initiatives. Current ERGs include (1) African American Employee Network, (2) Hispanic Heritage Network and (3) Orange County Asian Committee. Orange County employees are currently working on building the LGBTQ+ and Ally group for the next fiscal year.
In 2022, the City of Orlando received the highest rating by the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index (MEI) for the ninth consecutive year. The MEI evaluates 506 cities across the United States on how inclusive their municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ+ residents and visitors utilizing 49 different criteria including non-discrimination laws and municipal employment policies, inclusiveness of city services, and law enforcement and municipal leadership on matters of equality.
“We understand the AV community’s concerns about the current divided culture we are experiencing. AVIXA’s values are strong in fostering an industry that supports and uplifts everyone, and we are proud that Orange County shares those values,” says Labuskes. “Shows like InfoComm impact more than 25,500 individuals that are employed either directly or indirectly by the activity generated by the Orange County Convention Center. We are proud to play a role in supporting jobs and the economy in Orange County.”

We recently did a post on AVIXAregarding new DVLED technology by LG called GNEB
In Brief Summary
Marine-grade DVLED technology
Salty air is not a problem
6.2-millimeter pixel pitch and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio
160-degree horizontal viewing angle
“LG’s marine-grade DVLED technology is the ideal outdoor display medium because it can produce bright images and has the contrast necessary for watching videos in direct sunlight. The GNEB is easy to maintain thanks to a module-based construction,” says Jake Benner, director hospitality, cruise & titness at LG Business Solutions USA. “Outdoor areas on cruise ships can now be outfitted with movie-theater sized displays, while providing optimal performance day in and day out regardless of how salty, wet or unpredictable the environment is.”
The GNEB series features a marine-grade powder coating that protects against salinity and corrosion in marine environments and weather conditions. Both the front and rear of the display are IP67-certified and feature reliable designs for seaside environments to enable stable power and data connections. IP67 is among the highest levels of environmental protection available.

Guess what…. It’s me again with the Inaugural install of our marine grade GNEB product. This IP67 GNEB 8.3 pixel pitch will be replacing an aging existing display that has concluded its service. Make sure to stay tuned for the final product.
If your business has a welcoming outdoor area, then outdoor audio-visual (AV) is an essential part of your digital signage design. Outdoor readerboards, self-service kiosks, digital menu boards, signage, and outdoor entertainment displays each play an important role in engaging your visitors as they enjoy the exterior spaces of your venue. Whether you have a charming terrace, a lively courtyard, a drive-thru menu, or a trendy rooftop bar where guests want to watch the big game on outdoor TVs, you can take advantage of a wide range of outdoor AV design options.
Outdoor AV technology has advanced significantly in recent years. You can upgrade your displays with many new products and innovations designed to deliver high-quality audio and visual experiences in an outdoor setting – especially in the realm of digital signage.
What should your venue consider if you want to invest in the latest outdoor signage? We’ll explore the nine most important factors of outdoor AV design and installation.
1) Weather resistance
Every piece of outdoor digital signage needs to be able to stand against the weather. Durability in a wide range of weather conditions is essential, including rain, high winds, humidity, and extreme temperature. This ensures that you will not have to run out and protect your technology every time bad weather blows through.
You will want to look for displays that are designed to be weather-resistant, with features like waterproofing, dust-proof design, anti-glare screens, and encapsulating enclosures. Kiosks and outdoor displays, for example, typically have superior sealing against the weather and anchoring against the wind compared to setting up indoor technology in an outdoor venue.
Additionally, outdoor sound features are crucial, as the signage needs to deliver clear audio even in outdoor environments with ambient noise. Adequate outdoor lighting is also essential, as the signage needs to be visible in varying lighting conditions, including bright sunlight and low-light situations.
2) Brightness and contrast
Until you’ve seen a normal screen in bright sunlight, you might not realize the importance of brightness and contrast. Your outdoor AV solutions need to be visible in bright and dark conditions, with enough contrast that the content is clear and easy to read. You should look into devices and displays with high brightness levels and advanced lighting control. Anti-glare screens or screen coating is also essential for visibility in the mid-day sun.
For venues that will be open at night, having displays that can turn down the brightness will be equally useful. This way, your guests will be able to enjoy your displays without losing their comfortable and relaxing night-sight.
With adaptive brightness, high-contrast, and anti-glare displays, your digital signage can achieve optimal visibility in outdoor environments.
3) Connectivity and compatibility
Much like how you would prepare your home entertainment area and smart TV in your living room, you also have to ensure connectivity and compatibility for outdoor use when using outdoor signage. And much like your home technology, not all outdoor entertainment systems and displays connect the same way. Each device needs to be connected to the internet – or at least an internal network – and must be compatible with a wide range of devices and control software. Wireless connectivity options for your outdoor displays include WiFi and Bluetooth. Wired control options include ethernet, HDMI, and USB-C connections.
Consider displays that offer a selection of connectivity options so that you can build your display network and venue design in whatever arrangement works best for the space.
4) Audio quality
Outdoor digital signage often includes an audio system that includes speakers or soundbars. While the audio may not always be in use, you will want to make sure it is of good quality and can project at a sufficient volume level for the environment. The most common mistake in outdoor AV is using audio that is loud but not clear, or clear but not loud enough to be heard.
Look for integrated displays or separate sound equipment that can be easily adjusted for optimal sound clarity when sound is used. You may also want to experiment with the placement of your outdoor speakers and soundbars to create a more immersive and clear listening experience, whether you plan to play music or broadcast spoken messages.
5) Maintenance and support
Another factor that is crucial to keep in mind during this process is to build maintenance into your outdoor AV plan. All digital signage requires regular maintenance and support to ensure that it continues to function well over time. Consider how maintenance hatches and access points will work when designing your displays, including custom stands, positioning, and cabinetry.
You will also want to consider partnering with a vendor or service provider that specializes in ongoing maintenance and support for digital signage. This will ensure that if your display or sound quality ever drops, you will have an immediate and professional solution.
6) Viewing distance and angle
Where will your audience be in relation to your outdoor displays? Whether you are creating digital menu boards, navigation guides, or outdoor entertainment systems, think about the distance and angle from which your audience will view the displays. Kiosks are often interacted with up close, while outdoor televisions and menu boards may be further away, requiring a more accommodating angle from above and larger text or details.
Depending on the size of the display, the distance between the display and the viewer may need to be adjusted to ensure optimal visibility. You can adjust the angle, contrast, brightness, and size of your displayed content to optimize the viewer experience.
7) Power and energy efficiency
Consider how your outdoor signage will be powered, and how you will keep that power source safe. Energy efficiency has also become a paramount concern for venue design. Look for devices that provide a high-quality viewing experience using the minimum amount of electricity.
While buried cables are the most traditional option, you can also power your outdoor displays using renewable energy sources like solar panels or even an on-site wind turbine. Solar panel awnings that provide shade for your guests and reduce glare are a popular choice for both kiosks and outdoor entertainment displays.
8) Security
Security is of paramount importance for outdoor AV signage for businesses due to several reasons. Outdoor signage technology is vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access, as it is exposed to the elements and accessible to the public. The loss or damage of outdoor signage can result in significant financial losses and disrupt business operations. In addition, outdoor signage may display sensitive or proprietary information, such as pricing, promotions, or brand messaging, which, if tampered with, can harm a business’s reputation and brand image. Lastly, outdoor signage is often connected to networks or the internet, which can be potential entry points for cyber attacks, leading to data breaches, system disruptions, or other security risks.
This is why it’s important for businesses to take physical security measures, such as installing security cameras, motion sensors, and tamper-proof enclosures. These things can deter theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access. Placing the signage in well-lit areas or installing anti-glare screens can also enhance security.
Businesses should also secure the network connections and devices used in their signage system. This can be achieved by using encrypted connections, strong authentication methods, and regularly updating and patching software and firmware to address vulnerabilities. Employing firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs) can also add an additional layer of protection. Also, implementing content authentication and authorization protocols, such as digital signatures or access control lists, can ensure that only authorized personnel can modify or upload content to the signage system.
Regular monitoring and auditing of the signage system, including checking for signs of tampering, unusual activities, or system vulnerabilities, is also crucial. Employee training on security best practices, including password management and awareness of social engineering attacks, can help prevent security breaches. Lastly, having a backup and disaster recovery plan in place can minimize downtime and data loss in case of security incidents or technical failures.
9) Content management
Lastly, consider how you will send new content to each display and how you will manage the display experience for your guests. There are several digital signage management systems and audio-visual software options that can help you create the ideal outdoor AV experience for your guests. Your management software makes it possible for you to create immersive and satisfying outdoor entertainment or information systems and to keep your content fresh with relevant new information or engaging new entertainment. Look for displays that are compatible with content management systems for both scheduling and updating your content on a regular basis.
In addition, you may want to look for a cloud-based content management system (CMS). With a cloud-based CMS, businesses can easily update and manage their signage content remotely from anywhere, using a web-based interface. The content is stored in the cloud, eliminating the need for physical media or on-site servers. This allows for real-time updates and seamless content scheduling, making it easy to customize and change content on the go, without the need for on-site technical assistance.
Cloud-based CMS also provides scalability, allowing businesses to manage multiple screens and locations from a single centralized platform. This eliminates the need for manual updates and ensures consistent and timely content across all screens. Cloud-based CMS is also cost-effective, as they eliminate the need for expensive hardware and maintenance, making it a cost-efficient solution for businesses of all sizes. Overall, cloud-based CMS offer flexibility, convenience, and efficiency, making them a valuable tool for businesses to effectively manage their digital signage content and keep it up-to-date.
