Part of my life involves building $100k+ interactive/experiential advertising installations.
Sparkfun has been pretty vital for a lot of our builds. The ability to know what we're getting, and to have it shipped overnight is a Big Deal.
For a while it was looking like Amazon might replace them on shipping, but shipping has become hit and miss enough that it isn't worth the risk anymore.
- exikyut 8y agoOut of curiosity, what do "interactive/experiential advertising installations" consist of? Vague and generic is fine. All I've got is eg bus stop ads with webcams, but that's probably not $100k (...or maybe it is).
- blhack 8y agoWe built, for instance, a 10' tall animatronic set piece to promote a major comic book property at comic con. Attendees stood at a control console and moved essentially a giant robot around. Any time you see a brand doing some sort of non standard advertising installation; stuff attendees would walk up to and interact with, that's the type of stuff I'm talking about.
