Moet Chandon
Dueling Surf Board

With the growing popularity of champagne, consumers today are clearly understanding the difference between sparkling wine and champagne. Moet Chandon, one of the oldest champagnes in the world, wanted to create a more fun and engaging merchandising tool to support increased case sales during the summer months.

Additionally, they wanted the concept of serving it over ice, which is a new path to create additional incremental sales for champagne. Moet Chandon is a super-premium champagne, therefore the merchandising accruements needed to emphasize the brands super premium nature while speaking to an established clientele as well as introducing the clientele to the concept of enjoying champagne in a non- celebratory format.

The target consumer is 25 – 45 years old, mostly female, but can attract males as well with a concept of surfing is easy and identifiable with resort style living, vacationing and a relaxed environment, making champagne a potential beverage of choice during that time of their lives. There are multiple varietals of Moet Chandon, therefor they needed to develop a piece that was family oriented, look good with as little as 3 – 4 cases to as many 6 – 8 cases, while maintaining the brands superior premium imagery.

Patron Summer Blitz

The objective was to capitalize on the high-volume summer months by providing tools that work in both off premise liquor stores, grocery, luxury liquor stores as well as on premise bars, lounges resorts etc.

These pieces needed to be congruent and share the same message of perfection by Patron. As everyone today lives in a mobile society, Patron wanted to supply tools that were fun, different and unique to the retail establishment.

The target consumer for Patron is 25 – 45 years old, one who is always ready, willing and able to take on the Patron experience. As the tequila category continues to grow in size and competition, Patron has remained in the lead position for many years with the objective of always being different, unique and creative.

Mobile merchandising within a retail establishment has actually never been done before, so these tools were to create immediate selling opportunities for retailers at various spots within their establishment. These pieces needed to be fun, but most importantly focused solely around the brand enhancement of Patron. Working with all sizes of bottles and gift boxes, retailers were given the opportunity to cross merchandise with other merchandising product themes, as well as when the promotion was complete, the retailer was able to keep these custom merchandising tools.

Woodford Reserve
Mint Julep

As retail theater becomes more and more the “Rule of thumb” when it comes to trendy merchandising, spirits marketing has led the charge in this category. Woodford Reserve wanted to encapsulate on the iconic Mint Julep cocktail that is synonymous with the Kentucky Derby.

This piece needed to create a theatrical environment that spoke to consumers all over the country, but particularly to the Midwest and Kentucky region for those who purchase Woodford Reserve as their bourbon of choice for their Kentucky Derby festivities. Much like decorative windows or a theater stage, numerous props were chosen so that retailers could build their own environment that was best suitable for their store, their consumers and their promotions.

As the popularity of Derby Day has increasingly grown, consumers throughout the country dress up and invite friends over and prepare Mint Juleps for what has been dubbed as “The most exciting two minutes in sports.” Woodford Reserve is considered one of the super-premium bourbons in the marketplace and has a well-established customer base. It is often considered by new bourbon drinkers entering the category, but most importantly they wanted to create a fun environment so that they would consider Derby Day festivities surrounded by Woodford Reserve and the Mint Julep.

Slim Jim
Counter Unit

The objective was to create a 3-Dimensional display with a very small footprint to be placed on a counter and hold Slim Jim sticks. The display had to have a high level of detail, at a low price point for a potential high-volume production run. In the world of convenience marketing, the old concept of “Stack it high and watch it fly” no longer applies in today’s market, for consumers today want their shopping experience to be engaging.

Very few products are pre-determined to be purchased when entering a convenience store. Meat snacks, salty snacks, candy, beverages etc. are all high impulse purchases. Years ago, Slim Jim aligned themselves with one of the world’s most recognizable wrestling figures Randy Macho Man Savage. The objective was to bring back his likeness and message to “Snap into a Slim Jim” Even though Randy has since been deceased, his iconic “Snap into a Slim Jim” motto still resonates with the consumers.

The target consumer is 18 – 24 years old and is usually a male looking for a quick and fun snack. Slim Jim created and has for many years, lead the meat stick category and Randy’s legacy will forever live on. The Savage family played an integral role in the development of this piece, for any and all likeness of Randy had to be approved by the family. Through precise sculpting and iconic the family approved this as a true likeness of Randy.

Riondo
Vespa Scooter

Riondo currently stands as the #3 Prosecco in a category that has 10 major players produced by some of the largest wine makers. Riondo is owned by an Italian family and is one of the few family owned Proseccos in the marketplace.

The objective behind this merchandising program was to create a clever and unique merchandising display that spoke to the Italian Prosecco consumer yet captured the Riondo feel and colors. The battle is won on the retail floor for very few Proseccos can afford to do much marketing other than point of purchase advertising. For Proseccos the unique ability to be identifiable by a marque color is essential. The creative thinking behind this unit was to imagine people whisking through the streets of Italy or perhaps taking in the countryside on their Italian Vespa.

The authenticity of this display is quite striking and very similar to a Vespa. The seats were placed with platforms designed to support cases of product. When filled with product and accompanied by additional cases this Vespa, with its signature olive green label, immediately lets consumers know this is Riondo on display. Based off the true technical specifications of a Vespa, our engineering team was able to encapsulate the exterior shell of a Vespa in an economical way. This attractive Vespa was able to increase sales 40-50% in all retailers due to its authentic look and functional footprint. With over 200 units produced, the compliance rate was at 95% for the Riondo sales team.

Summer Bug

The objective for this Jose Cuervo Summer Bug Display was to develop an engaging iconic eye-catching display to attract consumers upon immediately entering the store.

Cinco de Mayo is the unofficial start to Summer and the first real opportunity in the year for consumers to get out there and celebrate the start of the warm weather and all the fun that comes with it.  This display is intended to remind them of that fun and to enjoy it with Jose Cuervo. With the growing popularity of tequila, Jose Cuervo must lead the charge on creative and effective merchandising for large case stackings, along with complimentary products that create a retail theater stage for the summertime.

The target consumer for Jose Cuervo is 25 – 45 years old and has consistently led as the most mixable tequila in the marketplace, as everyone has an enjoyable time with family and friends during the summertime. This display inspires the consumer to sit back, enjoy the summer skies and fun with a tagline SUMMER LIKE YOU MEAN IT WITH JOSE CUERVO.

Oster Texture Select
Product Launch

The objective was for Oster to create an attractive, engaging display that cleverly introduced to the consumer their new Texture Select blender. The retailer demanded that the displays do more than support the product. It needed to tell a story and explain to the consumer in an engaging fashion the difference between all their Texture Select blending options.

Much like many products and appliances purchased on a daily basis, a majority of sales are driven by the holiday season. This unite needed to stand out, cost efficient and informative to their target consumer who is generally between 35 – 55 of age and primarily purchased by females. They would purchase this product for themselves as a gift or be used in the preparation of a variety of food options.

Josh Wine
Cellars Tribute

Josh Wines is one of the fastest growing wines in the United States. Josh Family wines is historic in nature and heart-warming at the same time. A father – son relationship, was crucial in developing Josh Wines.

The assignment was to create an eye-catching merchandising piece that stayed true to the brand and would be introduced around Father’s Day. The expectation of this piece was it would last in stores much longer than the holiday. Josh signature wines make the perfect gift for Father’s Day and is also a very enjoyable wine, for any occasion. This merchandising display needed to capture the essence of a premium wine while sharing an emotional message from son to father.

Manufactured in 4 easy assembled parts, with high quality wood finishes and laminates, it builds a foundation for excellent merchandising. The laser cut metal, Josh signature, undeniably matches the signature on every bottle of Josh wine. This island display created a billboard background highlighting the superior quality of varietal grapes from California and showcased Cabernet Sauvignon on one side and Chardonnay on the other side.

The attractiveness of the display and the very engaging message, “Making a well-balanced wine is hard work, but my Dad wouldn’t have had it any other way” stops consumers in their tracks. This piece achieved 100% compliance and has given Josh wines a 100-200% lift in all stores where it’s merchandised. The life expectancy of this piece will create a lasting branding impression for Josh wines for a long time.
