skignz has
been actively functioning now for over a year so we thought that we would give you a small
insight as to how the functionality of the business has increased and how we
are working now compared to how we were when we first developed skignz.
When skignz was first developed we were a start-up company, so everything was basic including the interface and technology behind skignz. A skign that you see now was just very plain, had no design, style or even much added to it.
The skignz came in a variety of colours, with just a simple box style and two spaces to insert your heading and write a small amount of text. There was not much to a skignz when we first began, so we saw an opportunity for progression to the next stage.
The next part we wanted to focus on was making more room for users to be able to insert more text into their skign. We also were working with Teesside University and other possible brands and needed to create a skignz design for all students on University campuses to use.
Since creating and developing the team skignz managed to come up with a wide variety of ideas and ways in which we could change the way that skignz appeared to all users. We wanted to create a simple and fun theme that we could demonstrate to users as ‘your signs in the sky’ – skignz.
Improving the interface of skignz and the way that it looked was a
vast step for us, now we could appeal to more, increasing our user and
businesses data. We then saw an opportunity to focus on ways to try and reach a
wider audience as we wanted skignz
to be globally; not just locally.
Working on our social media
to the highest extent we could, we decided to create a video blog post that we
could upload to all our social media sites and see how much of a wider audience
this would reach. Luckily for us this managed to go very globally reaching
people in Las Vegas which lead us to doing business arrangements and now having
the success of opening our very own office in Las Vegas and having Nick
Vilardell run it from the US. That was one of skignz first MASSIVE step which were a great time for us.
We then gathered that we
needed to add more to our skignz
platform and create ways in which it would attract more business interest and
users. For that we directed ourselves to the brainchild behind the technology
of skignz - Gary Baker.
We first considered creating
different accounts so that if anyone managed to become a premium user of skignz they could have unlimited amount
of skignz to place around wherever
they wished to. From this we thought that with having a premium account where
any user can place as many skignz as
they wished, they would then like the opportunity to be able to create their
own skignz, so they wouldn’t just
have to use the already pre placed ones and be able to personally design them
however they wish, and that is exactly what we did.
Now any user can manage
their own skignz on their account
and upload whatever one they would like, whether that was to be an original
design taken from the internet or creating and design their own.
The team at skignz have had a lot of fun with creating their own skignz, from placing doughnuts above houses, roasted chickens in cars to even creating themselves as a skignz and casually chilling outside their own home.

There is a lot of fun to be had with skignz which is what we are all about;
we would like users to have a lot of fun whilst finding it practical and useful
at the same time, skignz is not just
for one practical use, it is practical for anything. Users can even also use skignz to leave greeting messages for someone
if it was the birthday or a special occasion was upon arrival, - if two people
are newlyweds then someone could leave a great big congratulations skign right outside their house or
their wedding venue at the time; what a groovy wedding gift that would be!
skignz has
increased its functionality a lot over the past year, from changing the way
that skignz works and appears to
future deals we have made and companies we have been in discussion with all
ready for some great work in the future.
There is a lot more going on
which currently is not available, however soon we do wish to be looking at
being able to pull in your Facebook profile to your skignz and being able to run your social media that way whilst
discovering new people.
Also how great would it be to be able to have your 'dating profiles' above your head in a skign, so that you could see who is the perfect match for you and just whereabouts your lucky other half is located.

We are looking to take the
initial development we have currently done to the next level, through
launching a Kick-starter campaign later this September which you can read about
here. http://skignzblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/kickstarter-pre-launch-campaign.html
