According to Cap Ventures, the digital signage industry is one of the fastest growing marketing opportunities in the world today, forecasted to grow at a rate of nearly 50 percent annually for the next five years, with projected revenues of $2 billion by 2009.

If businesses and brands want to capture today’s consumer, out of home marketing is a necessity.  Consumers attend a host of events and venues outside the home.  Over 200 million consumers visit shopping malls in the U.S. each month.  

WallFX from GestureTek – a new interactive signage system that delivers an innovative and captivating advertising tool that users of all ages will find enticing, engaging, and playful – perfect for the retail and entertainment markets.

We are very excited with the opportunity that WallFX offers the marketplace”  Bill Leckonby, CEO of GestureTek Inc.
