Business Description

Insignia Systems, Inc. was incorporated in Minnesota. The Company markets in-store advertising products, programs and services to retailers and consumer packaged goods manufacturers. Since 1998, the Company has been engaged in providing in-store advertising services through the Insignia Point-Of-Purchase Services (POPS) in-store advertising program. Insignia POPS includes the Insignia POPSign program. Insignia's POPSign program is an in-store, shelf-edge, point-of-purchase advertising program that enables manufacturers to deliver product-specific messages quickly and accurately - in designs and formats that have been pre-approved and supported by participating retailers. Insignia POPSign delivers vital product selling information from manufacturers, such as product uses and features, nutritional information, advertising tag lines and product images. The brand information is combined with the retailer's store-specific prices and is displayed on the retailer's unique sign format that includes its logo and store colors. Each sign is displayed directly in front of the manufacturer's product in the participating retailer's stores. The Company's POPSign program offers special features and enhancements, such as Advantage and Custom Advantage headers that allow manufacturers to add visibility and highlight their brand message at-shelf. The Company offers Color POPSigns with customizable, image-building full-color graphics. Insignia UltraColor POPSigns offer 75% more area for the full-color creative than Color POPSigns. The Company sells its POPSign programs directly to consumer packaged goods manufacturers and to Valassis Sales and Marketing Services, Inc. (Valassis) for resale to consumer packaged goods manufacturers. POPSign programs are delivered to retailers participating in the Company's POPSign retail network and to retailers under contract with Valassis and News America Marketing In-Store, LLC. Utilizing proprietary technology, the Company collects and organizes the data from manufacturers and retailers, then formats, prints and delivers the signs to retailers for distribution and display. Store personnel place the signs at the shelf for two-week display cycles. The Company charges manufacturers for the signs placed in stores for each cycle. Retailers are paid a fee to display the signs and for product movement data provided to Insignia.The Company owns U.S. registered trademarks for Insignia Systems, Inc. (and Design), Insignia POPS, POPS Select, Insignia POPSign, Insignia ShelfPOPS, UltraColor, Stylus, Stylus Work Center, SIGNright, Impulse, DuraSign, I-Care, and Check This Out and Color POPSign. The Company faces competition from News America and Valassis, which provide at-shelf advertising and promotional signage, plus other smaller competitors.
