LCD informs & inspires

LCD’s, touchscreens & tablets provide shoppers with a space in which to be entertained, engaged & ultimately experience more personalized demonstrations and expanded product knowledge opportunities. Integration of these tactics offers ease of use & convenience when a dedicated sales associate is unavailable or a shopper prefers self-help options. Visually interactive programs have proven to drive double digit sales growth in display locations with displays versus those without. Created with portability and/or reuse, executions can be easily transitioned to alternate store locations or between retailers.

audio entertains

Sensory marketing creates a powerful physical connection by engaging shoppers’ senses. Incorporating audio into a display delivers a form of entertainment and a medium for brand, product or promotional information. As shoppers increasingly search for new experiences and emotional stimulation, in store merchandising efforts must consider multi-sensory solutions offering sight, sound & touch. Product trial and sound comparison are also critical elements of securing conversion with shoppers in store.
