ProColor 651H and 701H End-of-Life Plan

All end-of-life and replacement plans are inherently tentative. If manufacturing is delayed, so is the new product introduction and the announcement of its availability. If unit sales of the current product do not meet forecast, then we keep selling it longer than initially planned. And so on.

We have made a great deal of progress combining Mimio and Boxlight, including the website, collateral, back-end systems, and product lines. One of the next steps in this unification will be combining our social media accounts to focus our marketing efforts. We will be able to combine some of our accounts, such as Facebook and Linked In. For others—like Twitter—we will initiate a campaign to transition our followers to one outlet and then close the other account. You will begin to see the first steps of this in the upcoming weeks as we combine our Facebook accounts.

We will be rebranding the Mimio account and then work on the transition. Facebook does not allow you to choose which account stays—they select based on active users and engagement. You will see the following message on the Facebook account over the next few weeks:

We are excited to release the first phase of marketing resources for our NEW displays and projectors!

Collateral
The product and marketing team are excited to announce that along with our new displays and projectors, we will be debuting a new format for collateral. This system will be used for our lines with multiple product options, such as projectors and displays. The system will consist of brochures and spec sheets—the brochures will give an overview of the entire line, highlight the benefits, and provide only the key specs so customers can easily compare products and understand the full value of our solutions. We will create spec sheets for every individual product, which will contain the in-depth specs, a photo, description, key features, technical drawing, and connections. We know this will be extremely useful for bids and opportunities where people need specific specs and only want to see information for the product they are interested in.

The brochures and spec sheets are complete and ready for you to download now.>>

Please note: We will rework the P12 projectors shortly to reflect this new system.

Photography
We have product photography for the new lines available for you to download now.>>

Website
We are working to add the new skus to the website, but this will be a temporary update as some of these product pages need to be reworked extensively to better highlight our product line benefits and align with the new brochure system. We hope to have the updates completed in the next 2 weeks.

Launch Kits
We will have launch kits for all of the new products. The launch kits contain the low res imagery, the brochure, and spec sheets for you to download.>>

One company. One system.

Combining Mimio and Boxlight into one entity has created many benefits for our company and our partners. We have been able to bring students and schools a more complete product line from hardware to software, but still have another important step in this transition: streamlining and consolidating our systems.

We will be moving the Mimio back end system to Boxlight's system. This will enable us to have SORs, orders, and inventory all in one system. In addition, we will have MimioStudio licensing and Customer Care all integrated into this one application. This is a huge undertaking, but we want to be able to serve you more efficiently as one company. Please note that this process is still in progress and we are constantly refining and improving along the way. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please forward them to your Regional Sales Manager so they can pass the information on to the proper team member.

Our Partner Call Will Be Postponed to Mid-February
