Member Info for oldtramp

Some news has to be due soon!!! as you can see so much is happening at the momment it will be very very interesting,as far as time scale i can only guess historically IDG do anounce updates at the AGM (unlike some companies) which is quite soon mid Jan i believe, Happy to hold here for a long time.As i have researched the company the prospects have got better and better normally after a few weeks you find little else but this one is far different. GLA and do your own research it is a great company to look into with loads of info easily available.

Frank1e you might find this IBM Report interesting "Given most customers' reluc tance to buy things at the ATM, what do bank managers do with an expensive and increasingly futuristic machine that has become a utility for all intents and purposes? In essence, the ATM is about convenience, so one would think that any item sold there would sell well. Unfortunately, all of the items tried to date can be purchased elsewhere just as conveniently, and often without the associated fee demanded by many ATM deployers. This hurdle may be the limiting factor even to cellular top-up in the US, since the service is available through many other retail channels, including the ubiquitous Internet. Banks have misused another key aspect of ATM interaction, namely the fact that every ATM transaction represents at least 40 seconds of customer attention. All banks try to take advantage of those 40 seconds by using attractor screens that promote a current marketing campaign, or by using the same sales pitch during the 5-second "Please Wait..." screen that occupies customers' attention while they wait for their cash. With 40 billion transactions occurring every year, that’s the equivalent of over 400 million hours of "advertising time."

Been looking on your Argenta find great customer base http://www.argenta.co.id/content/blogcategory/27/45/ And i note on the services page "SELF SERVICE TERMINAL ADVERTISING SELF SERVICE TERMINAL ADVERTISING (SSTA) Allows the bank to automatically and efficiently distribute advertising screens, videos, software patches and applications to the ATM channel from one central point of distribution without having to physically send staff to the ATM to perform the software load. Unfortunate, this is generally practised by banks in Indonesia today. Many banks have realised the potential of an ATM network as a marketing channel for banking services. It is common to see banks advertising their banking products and services on the ATM idle screen. But this is not effective. We provide the tools and services for software distribution to allow banks to electronically download software patches, advertising files and software updates to the ATM network either as a whole or selectively. This can also be performed based on a pre-determined schedule." The service locations are also very impresive http://www.argenta.co.id/content/view/17/30/ Great find mate.

top notch research Frank1e/Gresh if you add Justin Stark who has just joined the company there is a link there aswell......starting to see the whole picture now

Funny you should both mention that found a couple of things . If you look here http://beta.afr.com/p/business/marketing_media/get_ready_for_messages_and_money_yaKKCd8u7VG2L7HutE1XON Nothing strange really until you look into Matt McGrath. He is the ex ceo(resigned on very good terms) of http://www.yrbrands.com.au/ a very very big worldwide media company, that in turn is part of the WPP group . WPP group are a world wide leader in media and advertising with a multi billion pound turnover. Guess the question is what is Mr McGrath doing as a very big fish in a little but interesting pond?

Also came across this link which is quite interesting from Customers again http://www.customers.com.au/downloads/asx_releases/2009/nautilus_hyosung_cus_media_statement_20091119.pdf And also LD Systems in the States who are IDG official resellers http://www.ldsystemsinfo.com/images/stories/company/cliff_newsletter.pdf On further research it does seem that the http://www.nautilus.hyosung.com/english/util/prcenter/news/data.jsp?idx=135&page=1 is the machine that all the major banks are interested in and as such it puts both "customers" and LD Systems at a great advantage when dealing with the major banking institutions of course in turn that leads to a bigger network of machines to carry adverts.

Hopefully we all agree that IDG has a JV with "customers" but have they also got a deal with cashcard (first data) http://money.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=981151 i did find a report that first data had used IDG as a source of info http://www.firstdata.com/downloads/thought-leadership/fd_atm_advertising_marketinsights.pdf but i guess it could be a coincidence that IDG have set up office in Sydney and cash card anounce the 1st advert on an ATM. So why the interest now in Atms in Australia? Major changes have happened recently regarding charges of foreign atms . What is now happening is the ATM companies are all networking together so they have a larger amount of machines which is resulting in interest for atm adverts over a large network. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/opinion/rba-keeps-customers-more-than-happy/story-e6frg9lo-1225799934376 From that you can see customers operate machines for Bendigo and Adelaide Bank who have just anounced http://www.smh.com.au/business/suncorp-bendigo-link-up-atms-to-take-on-bigger-banks-20091209-kiqv.html thus increasing the size of the prime atm fleet. Customers are looking to expand into NZ and Revenue from advertising is also a growth area page 6 http://www.customers.com.au/downloads/asx_releases/2009/agm_chairmans_address_20091119.pdf Page 27 and 28 worth reading http://www.customers.com.au/downloads/asx_releases/2009/agm_presentation_20091119.pdf

That is a very good and important question and one that is worth some research for anyone invested or thinking of investing should look into. It is quite possible that if IDG have set up Transaction Media as a company in Australia the 1st JV will be with a company called "customers" i have now done extensive research on that company and it all looks very positive,i will post all that latter as i am still putting it all together.But as it has not yet been anounced it could be a big step for the company and the SP. To help with your research take a look at these 2 links i believe it is conclusive evidence that the JV has been formed http://www.digital-media.net.au/article/atm-advertising-network-atmad-launches-in-australia/490984.aspx http://www.customersatm.com.au/downloads/cus_atm_advertising_300709.pdf I have downloaded the registration doc from companies house Aus on Transaction Media Pty ltd if anyone wants a copy i will email them it. As i said i will post all the relevent info on "customers" but have a look and see if you agree with the above first.This is certainly one to do your own research on i believe it could be a huge step for the company and we are no doubt in early enough to benefit from the expansion. Look forward to your replys good luck all.

[November 08, 2009] Get ready for messages and money from the ATM Nov 08, 2009 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- A new company is selling advertising on ATM screens. Transaction Media, which was established in August 2009, places advertisements on the Customers Limited's network of 5,500 ATMs. The advertisements run for 20 seconds while transactions are completed. It has run ads for two companies and has signed three more deals

Its the atm software either NDC or DDC have a good day mate

Found this on twitter from IDG CEO Ana Stewart "Melbourne fantastic place - Great to see our screens up and live in Sydney and Melbourne airports on the DDC machines 5:52 AM Jul 9th " Conclusive evidence for me that they are up and running in Australia surely the company will anounce this giant step into the Australian market to us SOON ?

Hi mate shame about the computer,strange skype should be ok to auto run check the other programes you have in startup you might have a virus. Spyware doctor is quite a good programe to try and i think you can get a free trial. Yes mate its a dotcom. Catch up soon

Further research conducted during the year reinforced the findings of previous research which show that consumer recall of ATM advertising messages is high, reflecting the interactive and highly engaged nature of the ATM transaction itself. Point of Sale data also demonstrates the success of ATM receipts, used in redemption campaigns, in driving consumer sales. In 2008, there were 2.75 billion cash withdrawal transactions at ATMs in the UK of which 94% were from ATMs owned by financial institutions. Currently, we can offer advertisers the potential to reach some 633 million of these transactions and atmAd is available on 46% of all cash withdrawal transactions at retail based ATMs in the UK.

While i have your attention faz If you can contact me on oldtramp@gmail mate i have some info you might find of some use.

Adobong agree mate major interest is what is required,this company is well off the radar and has always had low volume. Do believe we are in here very early in an exciting global company. News is expected soon in a few areas all of which could be big enough to get the company on the map and hopefully the major interest will come from that. I believe the company is worth the effort of some research which is easilly available so that anyone considering this share would be comfortable in there own mind in any investment. GLA

Here is a new one for you if you http://www.strategyinstitute.com/100609_dsic4/dsp_speak.php click on Ana Stewarts name it gives you "Ana is responsible for the growth of i-design and its pioneering software solutions in the UK and overseas; as such i-design has recently secured its first overseas banking partner in Greece and in on the brink of establishing business foundations in North America and APAC. In addition, Ana founded and still manages the continued success of atmAd’s dedicated and experienced third party media sales operation, based in London." I like the word "brink" GLA

Hi mate a very good question and one i would like the answer to aswell If anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them. I have contacted the company regarding this issue and recieved a prompt polite reply but the usual "we cannot comment on price sensitive information" so i guess we will have to wait for the RNS for an update. However having looked at the company and the way it manages cash very well i believe the fact they have appointed Steve Newton as the Australian regional manager and set up an office in Sydney the expansion would have only happened with prior research. A quote from Steve Newton "Sydney-based Steve Newton, regional manager for i-design, said banks in Australia have invested heavily in their hardware for the last couple of years, in turn making them a fitting platform for third party advertising. There was also the opportunity for banks to capitalise on a new revenue stream, he said. "They've got the right technology now," Newton said. "Their IT is connected and the communications are available from the back end. "The opportunity to put third party advertising with superior brands is a real proposition," he said. i-design is currently in talks with some of Australia's largest banks and so far, the feedback and interest have been positive, said Newton." The reseller deal in the States looked good but the potential of Australia i feel is far bigger, Good
