Brands only benefit from seamless integration of technology - Ignite Retail

Retailers and brand owners must never lose sight of the fact that there are only three reasons to use technology in store: to drive product sales, improve customer communications and enhance brand image.

It is the job of the visual merchandiser to seamlessly integrate technology into the brand proposition and this according to retail guru Paula Dowie, Managing Partner of Ignite Retail Design, requires as much creative thought as all other elements of counter design.

We are all excited about where technology could take retailing but we cannot afford to stand back and admire it simply for what it is,” says Paula. “It can therefore never be a question of just putting a screen on a wall and thinking job done. Instead the use of technology can only be justified where it adds value to a specific retail sales operation.

This fits in very well with my ‘aisle to armchair’ approach to retail design,” continues Paula. “By this I mean that a customer’s expectations of a brand are sustained throughout the communication process. The relevance of the high-tech visual images contained with a TV commercial, for instance, must also be translated into the brand environment in-store to ensure there is no disconnect at any stage of a customer’s experience.”

Having over 20 years experience working with leading international brands, multiple retailers and top spas including L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Selfridges, Marks & Spencer and Urban Retreat,as well as developing the retail businesses of niche products and independent salons, Paula and her team at Ignite have a thorough understanding of what works in store.

ZEISS focuses on Manchester lens wearers

Mancunian wearers of contact lenses and glasses will find it almost impossible to ignore the health and performance advantages of asking their opticians for ZEISS lenses as a result of a multimedia campaign created by Ignite Retail Design.

Using Manchester as a test bed, ZEISS approached Ignite Retail Design to create a consumer campaign that would explain the health and performance benefits of specifying professionally engineered eyewear from a world-leading manufacturer.

Ignite Retail Design’s objective is to generate awareness for ZEISS lenses at its point of sale and in media inhabited by its key consumers. The communication challenge is explained by Paula Dowie, Managing Partner, Ignite Retail Design. “Generally people are only focused on selecting the frame and completely leave the decision of the lens to the optician. However, when you think that you only have one pair or eyes and just how precious they are – being more aware of the type of lens is extremely important!

So we have created and executed an external media campaign and in-store point of sale support aimed at getting people to think about their lenses and to ask specifically for ZEISS lenses to get the best from their specs.”

The message is being conveyed by high-profile 48 sheet and 6 sheet posters around Manchester and in the Arndale shopping centre, lead and mid-page banners on strategic websites accessible by PC’s, laptops and mobiles, plus a cinema commercial produced by the design company.

In Store Design - Ignite Retail

IN-STORE COMMUNICATION
Ignite Retail's 75% of purchase decisions are made in-store.  Which is why Brand communication in store is particularly crucial because it takes place at a pivotal stage in the journey towards the brand purchase decision, with the ultimate goal being to influence that decision.
However, the store actually plays a very different role in relation to brand communication. While the consumer is exposed to holistic, multi-layered communication which accumulates over time, shopper exposure is rapid and transitory, relying heavily on visuals and symbols.
As such, it is no surprise that consumer communication is used to create brand equity with consumption needs defining a brand’s positioning and communication route. In addition however, shopper communication can be used to elicit and support that brand equity. In this instance, the key task is to identify the best connection points to trigger a consumer response.

In store touch points
Many types of shopper communication are available to support the brand in store: POS signs, displays, in-store design etc and these are unique to retail.
As well as facilitating the search and selection process, shelf space, placement and signage can all play a role in positioning and supporting the brand.
And of course, the pack itself is a vital brand connection point. It plays an important but quite different role for consumer and shopper. For the consumer, it is integral to consumption. For the shopper, it is integral to communication, driving awareness and visibility, triggering brand identity and communicating specific messages.
In order to optimise brand performance, it is crucial to select the right contact points in store and maximise the brand connections which take place. To achieve this, one must understand how to:
- ensure shoppers actually look at a brand and its communication
- harness shopper behaviour
- motivate shoppers to buy

What is clear is that in-store communication will become increasingly crucial for brand success and that considering this from early stage product development will become a priority.
