We expect our most relevant customer bases to be advertising firms and the businesses that collaborate with them. Our modular displays are designed to be easily installed and torn down and can be arranged in any shape or dimension. This not only allows greater flexibility in how customers design their advertisements but also makes display placement less committal. In other words, they have less risk and expense associated with their use compared to conventional electronic billboards.
Due to these qualities, we also see a few other potential bases. Theme parks and carnivals could appreciate the ability to quickly set up and tear down lighting, especially traveling carnivals. Stadiums may also be interested in modular lighting, although they may be more attracted to conventional billboards during the construction process. Finally, emergency services (i.e., firefighters, police, etc.) may also be interested in modular displays: rapid set-up and tear-down could be used in areas like traffic control.
