Summer is virtually here, the bad weather is going and the sun is
shining, good times are getting planned and we are now officially into ‘British
Summer Time’ 2014.
You will have your
favourite hobbies, days out and events planned that you wish to do. Years from
now you will have that great memory, maybe a song, and certainly pictures to
remind you and take you back to a specific time and place during the summer of
2014.
Many of you will
get these memories from attending Live Events, Motor Sports etc...
Let us set the
scene...
You along with friends/family will set off for a live
motorsport event this summer and you will arrive after (in most cases) a long
journey in a car, van or coach.
Skipping forward past finding a place to park in the middle of a field and getting yourself through the entrance into the event before grabbing a drink and go for a look around, find out what's going on and where?

You finally get your drinks and you then settle in, relax, in order to soak up the
atmosphere and enjoy the entertainment of the day.
Sound's perfect?
This to most is the usual journey each of the millions of people will make this
summer to attend the thrilling exciting live motor sport events on offer.
Now you have sat
and enjoyed this show for a while and you fancy another drink or how about
something to eat?
Where are the
refreshment stands? In fact where are the toilets as you don't fancy making two
trips!
As with the majority of people, finding the refreshments and toilets is one thing!
But finding your way back to where you originally were! Now that’s a whole new level of stress and hassle!
As with the majority of people, finding the refreshments and toilets is one thing!
But finding your way back to where you originally were! Now that’s a whole new level of stress and hassle!
Going through your
mind is no doubt a few or all of the following:
- How will you get
back to where you where?
- How do you find
your friend(s)? The proverbial 'needle in a haystack'!
Unless your
friends are 9ft tall and everybody else is under 5ft tall, you are going to
struggle! Add in the feeling you get after a couple of drinks and your
orienteering skills are not the sharpest they have ever been! You feel a bit
disorientated.
Is there a solution?
Other than carrying around a massive sign or a flag saying 'I am here!'
What happens if everybody does the same thing, you are all right back to where you started, looking for a 'Needle in a Haystack' springs to mind.
The solution has
arrived and does not require you to carry anything more than what you walk
around with in your pocket every day - a smartphone or for events like this you may take a tablet with you.
Lets go back to
the point where you're stood looking for the refreshments stand and toilets.
Now open up your smartphone/tablet and click on the skignz App!
Now 'Pan' your
phone around as if you were videoing the crowd!
As you do this and
as if by magic, little 'virtual signs' will appear above the toilets and the
refreshment stand. Pan further to see what is on next and to allow you to keep
track of who you are watching, which car you are keeping an eye on? Use the
pinch on your phone to zoom in and out on each skign, press the skign on your
screen, a short press activates some relevant content, a longer press reveals
how far away that actual skign is located!
How about getting
yourself some vouchers or offers to the next live motor sports event, just
click the image on the left hand side and you will be taken straight to the
site where you can access these from and download them right to your phone.
So back to your
little mission to get a drink and something to eat, visit the toilet while you
are there.
You have used
skignz to find each of these locations.
This type of
skignz can been provided by the live motorsport event producers or their sponsors to help you find your way around the event and make your life easier,
while enhancing the whole experience.
Now you have been
to the toilet, bought your food and drink and you want to find your friends?
This is where
skignz really becomes your best buddy!
Hold up the phone
again and pan across the crowd and you will see 'skignz' above each of your
friends heads! You will only see there’s because like with other social media
channels you are only linked to people you know or want linked to you!
Now if they have a
great big skignz above their head - is that not the easiest way to find them
EVER? Theirs and your personal skignz will have a picture of you, your name and
a little comment - like a 'tweet' or 'Facebook status update' on their skignz!
Not only can you find your friends, but also
each one is personalised to them!
We at skignz
though want to make finding ANYTHING! Easier...!
So we have
included in the free to download App, the ability to 'drop a skignz or arrow'
over your car or coach you travelled on (remember the thing you arrived in and
parked in a sea of cars and coaches earlier - you will need that to get home!).
So now, not only
do you know where you parked (ready for quick exit to beat the traffic), where
the toilets, food, drinks and who's on next and at what time... download their vouchers/offers
at a good price, right to your handset, even where the charging points are so
your phone does not go dead!
How much of an
improved live motorsport event experience is that?
Motor sport
events, live events and even places such as festivals are the easiest place in
the world to get lost & lose your friends!
You dont have to
worry about getting lost, finding anywhere specific, losing your friends?
skignz is not only helpful, insightful and interactive, is also great as a
safety device.
Getting lost is a
horrible feeling, losing your friends and wandering around aimlessly for hours
is no fun, after all you came with your mates to have a good time - mostly
together, because an experience shared, is so much more than one you experience
on your own!
So why not
download the skignz app if you are going to a motorsport event, festival event or any other live event? Even if the venue has not heard about skignz or got
their event environment skignzed up!

You can do it
yourselves between you and your friends! Even if you only use it to find each
other when you get lost, find your original seat or car!
Surely thats gotta
be worth 10 seconds of your time download a simple little app that could be the
coolest thing on your phone this summer! It certainly will be for those people
when they get lost and they will!
Enjoy this summer,
enjoy the motorsports and other live events, but enjoy it more, knowing you
have a little app on your phone that can help you navigate around a strange
place, find your friends and find your transport home, because if you don't
find that, you won't get to go to anymore events this summer!
Bring on the summer
of 2014 - When you hear the new Calvin Harris song 'Summer' and you and your
friends have all downloaded skignz to see what its like?
We are sure from
now on you will remember the summer of 2014 as the 1st year that you used
