2009 SILVER AWARD WINNER
CATEGORY: PERMANENT DISPLAYS
Company: InnoMark Communications
Entry: WHITE HOUSE / BLACK MARKET
Client: WHITE HOUSE / BLACK MARKET
Marketing at Retail Objectives:
- To design a freestanding ‘collage’ frame system for the Holidays, that mirrored the look of existing in-store frames.
- From the front, the frames should appear as if they are ‘floating’, even though supported by a base.
- Must assemble easily, be lightweight, and allow for simple change-outs of the graphics and messaging.
Design & Engineering:
- An alternate material had to be found to replace the carved wood frames. Our selection: urethane molding. And, our material was half the weight and half the cost…
- Complex CAD drawings were created to make the molded urethane frame a reality.
- The client didn’t want to see any framework structure from the front of the display, making the routing of the tubular steel framework very challenging.
Shopper Engagement:
- The designs on the frames gave this project a quality look, along with the unique frame placement, to provide the upscale image the retailer intended.
Retail Experience:
- Graphics were easy to change from behind allowing the retailer to adjust to local markets, if necessary.
- Less than 1% of stores reported any difficulty in setting up and loading the images in the unit
- The retailer received only one store call on this project - for one damaged frame on a 325 store base shipment.
Results:
- InnoMark’s Holiday frame displays were a huge success. So much so, that they continued to be used for WH/BM spring promotions.
- Our freestanding displays beautifully imitated the existing in-store frames while creating a fresh new ‘look’, which could be used in the outside store window to attract shoppers into the store…
