iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:
ISD), today announced that it has partnered with Skipton Group Inc.

The partnership goal is to integrate iSIGN's Bluetooth OEM
software solution into the IBM AnyPlace Kiosks, under a licensing
agreement, which would then be able to deliver digital coupons,
receipts and product information to customer's smartphones and
handheld devices within a defined proximity of the Kiosk.
"This will be an in store "DIGITAL GREETER" providing a unique
method for delivering product coupons and information to opt-in
customers and participating store loyalty program members." adds
Paul Bruce Co-founder of Skipton.
Additionally, data logging of coupons dispensed, consumer
acceptance rates and the conversion to purchases for promoted items
will be available in real time.
All messaging is delivered free of charge to consumers and will
ultimately increase product sales as well as brand and store
loyalty. "Our partnership will result in a much more versatile
Kiosk service offering, providing convenience to shoppers and
valuable data capture and management capabilities to retailers -
similar to current solutions in development for the Asian and
European marketplace," according to Alex Romanov, Chief Executive
Officer of iSIGN.
Both companies are planning to introduce the "Digital Greeter",
this February at the upcoming Digital Signage Exposition in Las
Vegas, as well as other related retail technology venues.
