Sell digital souvenirs and use them to popularize your cause

Sell the app and access to your content as digital souvenirs and reach new customers.

Problem

When it comes to souvenirs most organizations sell random generic items not necessarily related to them or their cause. Some organizations manage to develop souvenir lines related to them and their cause, but that can be difficult and expensive. Although we live in the digital age, there does not seems to be many digital souvenirs if any at all that organization can sell. Not to mention one with physical touch that a person can give as a gift to their loved ones from their visit to a place.

Many organizations such as museums, art galleries, resorts, hotels, cruises, parks, nature reserves, botanical gardens, etc. could benefit much if digital souvenirs physical touch did exist and which presumably would propagate the cause of the organization via photos and videos of their artifacts.

Organizations could easily make digital souvenirs by taking thousands of photos and videos of their artifacts, save them on a memory drive and sell them as digital souvenirs. However, in only a few days, the photos and videos will appear uploaded on the Internet. Thus such a simplistic approach is not viable.

Solution

The Information Presenter provides a solution to the problem. Using the Information Presenter museums, art galleries, parks, nature reserves, resorts, hotels, cruises, corporations, etc. can have their own digital souvenirs. The souvenir will serve not only as a standard physical gift, but also will advance the cause of the organization and propagate their information.
  • Your own "Souvenir" edition - suitable for most organizations.
    • Your own "Souvenir" edition of the Information Presenter will allow your visitors, guests and customers to buy it as a tangible product which they can give as a gift to their loved ones.
    • The recipient of the souvenir gift will be able to learn about you and your cause, be it a museum, resort or something else, in a way as you want the to learn about it.
    • The app will allow you to safely share photos and information, advance your cause, and earn income. It will also allow you to broadcast adverts and messages to the users of the app.
    Main features relevant for a "Souvenir" edition:
    • Web-portal - all customer editions include an online portal.
      • For editions able to display online slides, the online portal is also used to add and edit the online slides.
      • The online portal allows you to advertise and display messages through the app.
    • Ability to display local slides - always recommended.
      We recommend for all "Souvenir" editions to include the ability to display local slides. In this way, your souvenir will allow its final recipient to enjoy their own photos using the app, which will make it even a better gift. Further, if the recipient can watch their own photos using the app, then they are more likely to keep it installed on their computer, and thus for you to have a connection with them. When the "Souvenir" edition is able to display local slides:
      • Included support for local encrypted image slides - in this case you provide large number of encrypted images of your artifacts with the souvenir. Only your souvenir edition can decrypt and display the encrypted images to the user. Thus you propagate your information, but it cannot be reasonably stolen and published on the Internet. The user can also use the local source of slides to watch their own photos.
      • Excluded support for local encrypted image slides - in this case you can provide some number of low quality non encrypted images of your artifacts with the souvenir, but this is not necessary. The user will watch your online slides and information instead. The user will use the local source of slides to primarily watch their own photos. Included support for online source of slides will be required in this case.
    • Ability to display online slides - only for content rich organizations.
      We recommend this option only for organizations rich in content, s.a. museums, resorts, and cruises. The organization should add the content to their online slide library from where the app will show it to the users.
    • User group capabilities - no.
      Membership in user groups is not appropriate for this edition type.
    • Ability to display adverts - all customer editions include it.
      All customer editions include the ability to display menu and overlay adverts. However, only online slides enabled editions can display slide adverts.
    • License - licensed to the end user.
      Since the souvenir is sold to the end user then the license must be also for them. However, note that a single license enables two (or by request can be more) concurrent activations of the app at a time.
    • Physical media - must have physical media.
      You can also design your own souvenir. In general it should contain:
      • The software on installation media - mandatory.
      • Software installation guide - mandatory.
      • Software license - mandatory.
      • Encrypted or non-encrypted images of your artifacts - optional.
      • Greeting card - optional.
      • About your organization notes - mandatory.
      • Beautiful box or other suitable packaging - mandatory.
You can sell your own digital souvenirs and advance your cause with the Information Presenter tailored to souvenir spec for your organization. Besides providing the software, we can also help with all other aspects of the creation of your digital souvenirs.

The Information Presenter offers a cost-effective digital souvenir solution for many organizations. These include museums, art galleries, resorts, hotels, cruises, parks, nature reserves, botanical gardens, etc. It helps organizations stay connected to people worldwide and brings them joy and knowledge. The software also allows users to make direct purchases from the organization's website. The app can also be a very gentle advertising agent if an organization wishes to use it that way, too.

Digital souvenirs are more beneficial for the final recipient than old school souvenirs, too. For example, gone are the days when people visiting a seaside resort would buy a shell of Rapana venosa to listen to the waves when they go home. However, a digital souvenir enables its beneficiary to enjoy stunning scenery from the area, the underwater world, see the amazing food, and learn about the place, its geography, history, culture, and so on, and would be indeed an appreciated gift.
