    Concept proposal for tablet visibility in-store

    experiential marketing

    streamlined

    personalised

    There is a suite of new tablet computers available with a number of features, prices, and sizes. When it comes to experiential marketing for brick-and-mortar retail businesses, tablet computers offer a streamlined and personalised retail experience unlike any other.

    For retail businesses looking to differentiate themselves from the competition through the use of innovative software applications, here are 5 reasons to include tablet devices as part of your digital retail strategy.

    1. Tablets Improve Brand Perception.

    Using tablets, retailers can provide a connected experience and a multichannel presence with a higher degree of service.

    Tablets provide a vehicle for customers to dive deeper into your brand while physically present in your retail space.

    2. Experiential Retail Marketing.

    Retailers are increasingly using tablets for assisted sales and experiential marketing, including associate-supported sales and self-shopping.

    Hero screen and revealed content

    Content can include search, product comparison, visualisation, social connections, and links to media about products.

    3.Handheld Kiosks.

    Imagine a shopping experience in which customers locate and select products on touchscreens at an interactive station, download product information on a mobile device, locate items in-store, and then use their tablet to check out.

    This personalises the shopping experience and eliminates checkout lines.

    4.Mobile Pay Stations.

    With credit card swipe add-ons, finger signatures on touchscreens, and email or SMS receipts, tablet computers can do anything a traditional cash register can do.

    5. Digital media on the store floor.

    It will take some dramatic changes in the store experience if a retailer wants to survive. Giving customers a compelling reason to shop and then delivering on an easy, pleasant shopping experience may sound simple, but putting it into practice is another issue.

    The Tablet-Driven Retail Evolution

    Tablet technology fundamentally transforms the retail environment, elevating service standards and deepening brand perception

    These multichannel devices facilitate experiential retail marketing, empowering customers with;

    • Interactive content
    • Product visualisation,
    • Social connectivity

    …for assisted or self-service journeys.

    Functioning as handheld kiosks and mobile pay stations, tablets streamline the entire process, allowing for personalised product location, instant information downloads, and eliminating traditional checkout bottlenecks.

    Ultimately, deploying digital media on the store floor through tablets is a critical strategic imperative for retailers to create a compelling, easy, and modern shopping experience necessary for future survival

    The End of an Era

    RIP Flash

    Adobe officially announced the end of Flash in 2017. Its inability to adapt to the changing landscape left it vulnerable to the more agile and secure alternatives that had taken center stage.

    While Flash may hold a place in internet history, its reign in the mobile world was short-lived, ultimately succumbing to the demands of a faster, more secure, and user-centric mobile experience.

    Client:

    Gardner Stewart Architects

    Brief:

    When considering hierarchy, an effective poster should be …

    • Aesthetic – It should get attention so the message is delivered.
    • Focused – It should focus on a single message.
    • Ordered – The sequence should be well-ordered and obvious.

    The flow of information should be clear from the layout and keep the word count as low as possible.

    Open-Day-Posters-Development
    As Open Day’s approach architecture practices like to gather interest at the best institution by advertising their skill set though Open Day posters. This is a great opportunity to show potential Part 3 graduates why they should consider one practice over another and to ask questions directly.
