How Retail Display Stands Increase Product Visibility in Shopping Malls

Introduction

Shopping malls remain one of the most important retail environments in the UAE. With millions of residents and tourists visiting malls every year, businesses have significant opportunities to attract customers and increase sales. However, with hundreds of brands competing for attention in the same space, standing out can be a challenge.

One of the most effective ways retailers improve product visibility is through professionally designed retail display stands. These displays help businesses showcase products, communicate promotions, and create a stronger in-store presence.

Whether located in a large shopping mall in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, retail display stands play a crucial role in influencing customer behavior and enhancing the shopping experience.

The Challenge of Attracting Attention in Shopping Malls

Modern consumers are exposed to countless marketing messages throughout their shopping journey. From storefront signage to digital screens and promotional campaigns, competition for attention is intense.

Retailers commonly face challenges such as:

Limited visibility for featured products

High competition from neighboring stores

Difficulty promoting new product launches

Underutilized retail floor space

Low customer engagement with promotional items

Show stoppers

When you have a 6 x 9 stand, an immense Italian dual gantry cutting table, two renowned printing machines, five LED screens and, to top it all off, a circular LED screen suspended from the ceiling, you’re bound to make an impact.

And so Spicers did, at the recent Visual Impact show in Sydney.

So much so that even print media took notice of the people flocking to the B8 stand, with Spicers team members being interviewed accordingly.

‘We were well and truly noticed and the stand looked fantastic. A lot of work went into putting it all together behind the scenes, but it all paid off and we were very happy with the result,’ comments Harry Pagoulatos, Marketing and Business Development Manager.

Being a smaller show, the theme was simple and effective – Hardware & Application Solutions, brought to you by Spicers, and we let our products speak for themselves.

“One of the ‘highlights’ was definitely the LED screen above the stand. It was an exercise in organisation to have it rigged up there, but it certainly drew attention to what we now have on offer,” adds Harry.

While the focus was on our hardware, our consumables were also present, with our LG vinyl range, our new printable floor vinyl – Fotoboden, Komaprint PVC, Corflute and Ace Screenboard impressing everyone. Our superstar measuring app, Spike – which had been the focus of Visual Impact Brisbane, was also back for good measure.

Like a great recipe, our mix of hardware and consumables were to the taste of the interested crowd, and sales and leads were fantastic.

“We had outstanding leads and sales for both hardware and consumables, with the Spicers team and all that the Spicers brand stands for delivering excellent results yet again,” said Jason Hay, National Sales Manager – Hardware. “Some of the sales from the show so far include an Elitron SD+, a JFX200, a CFL cutter and a CJV300, not to mention all the consumables.”

“We’re now looking forward to PacPrint Melbourne in May 2017, it is shaping up to be a huge show!” adds Jason.

Time will tell just how many screens will be suspended from the roof at that one…

Photo Fabulous

Signarama Boronia recently updated their interior space AND their printers, and we were privileged to have a bit to do with it.

Tired of working in a plain white office environment, Signarama in Boronia, Victoria decided to refresh their walls, but not before they updated their printing hardware.

Owned and run by Guy and Michelle Moorhouse, the well-established sign business not far from the foot of Victoria’s beautiful Dandenong Ranges recently purchased two Mimaki’s from us – a JV400-160LX and a JFX200-2513.

“We needed to update our equipment and technology to cater to growing demand, and did a lot of research,” comments Guy, who bought the business in 2012. “After a demo on the Mimaki’s from Spicers, we were sold!”

Producing a lot of Corflute, PVC and Aluminium Composite Panel signs, both a roll to roll and a flatbed were the best option for the company.

“We had a great experience with the installation of the machines. There was very little downtime. They were up and running within a day and with the latex machine we can now produce the sign on the same day we install it,” says Guy. “And the flatbed is fantastic – we no longer need to outsource our bulk Corflute, PVC or Foamboard work, which is obviously great for us. In fact, with the Mimaki JFX200 Flatbed, we can now print directly to a wide variety of rigid materials. Our capabilities have increased dramatically with these two machines.”

Adding to the machine’s workload was the updating of the team’s print room and reception area.

“Our in-house Graphic Designer created a vibrant design that was both professional and eye-catching,” said Guy. “Spicers gave us the idea to use Photo-Tex OPA, a self-adhesive fabric, and our production manager had no problem installing it himself. It’s also easy to remove, so we can update it every couple of years without the hassle you would have with changing wallpaper. In fact, it worked so well, we’re going to use Photo-Tex OPA on our feature wall at home now!”

Mimaki JFX200

Always popular, this high quality flatbed UV printer sells itself by being versatile and fast at a great price.

Mimaki JV400

Lower ink curing temperatures give this machine the ability to print on a vast array of media including non-coated. Efficient and economical, this printer gives you the high quality, glossy prints you’re after.

Photo-Tex OPA

An easy to install and repositionable polyester fabric, this product has rich ink production and is ideal for home, office, point-of-sale or any non-porous surface. With no messy glues, it removes easily without residue and has no show-through.

Dynamic DI-NOC™

Imagine a substance that gives your walls the warmth of timber, without the hassle of wood. A product that offers the pure, smooth look of stone or concrete, but it’s not heavy and cumbersome. Perhaps you desire a silky, fabric feature, but silk itself is just not practical? 3M’s DI-NOC™ from Spicers is an architectural finish that can do all these things, and plenty more. With over 500 patterns in more than 20 families such as metals, fabrics, stone, lacquers, wood, carbon, and embossed finishes, this is one ‘DI-namic’ self-adhesive product range.

Remains to be seen

Now here’s something that you see every day – perhaps without even realising it. As the name implies, dtec™ banner is used for indoor and outdoor promotional banners and signage, but it’s also popularly used for those huge advertising billboards that you see on the freeway, and in pull-up retractable banners for trade-shows, promotions, and corporate functions. dtec™ banner mesh is another very visible product when you’re out and about. A mesh type banner that is used for fence covering and advertising at construction sites and events, it’s also often seen wrapped around scaffolding on a building. High strength and long lasting at a great price and giving you a good print, it’s that ubiquitous product that you possibly just didn’t know the name for.

CREATE YOUR WONDERLAND

Spicers wonder product Skybond, whether printed or mounted, will deliver fantastic results.

Skybond is one of the leading brands of composite panel across Europe. Spicers saw the opportunity to bring the range to Australia and have been successful at selling and distributing the product nationally.

“Skybond really is a premium product,” comments Chris Lewis-Williams, National Sales Manager Sign and Display – Consumables. “It’s painted twice, which gives it an exceptional print surface so digital print works brilliantly and gives a vivid finish.”

A high quality aluminium composite panel, Skybond is comprised of a three-layer structure. The top and bottom layers are covered with an aluminium sheet and the centre core is low density polyethylene.

Rodney Shephard, Area Manager at Spicers Townsville, has overseen sales of Skybond skyrocket in his Northern Queensland hub. And he is not surprised by its surge in popularity.

“If you break it down, Skybond is an incredible product,” observes Rodney. “Lightweight with plastic in the middle, it’s strong and sturdy as well as insulated. The old steel products were cumbersome and floppy – it wasn’t as easy to print on or to display. Imagine being up a ladder with a 4m long bit of steel, if you drop it, it’d have someone’s leg off. Skybond is a much safer material.”

As such, the sky is just the beginning of the limit for applications of this amazing product. It’s suitable for printed applications such as feature walls and designer walls, as well as signage, advertisements, shop fronts, furniture, ceilings, showrooms, exhibition booths and other industrial purposes. It’s also commonly used at point-of-sale and in landscaping.

Thanks to the popularity of the product, Skybond is stocked in a variety of grades and colours and comes in two versions, Skybond Print and the new Skybond Mount. Developed with a specially formulated polyester paint, Skybond Print offers the best possible printing surface and can be easily cut, bent or folded.

Alternatively, Skybond Mount has been made specifically as a mounting board for self-adhesive prints and cut vinyl. Skybond Mount comes in a gloss white/matt finish and a gloss white/prime finish, meaning it is only painted on one side.

“I can’t speak highly enough of the product. We just placed the largest order for Skybond ever in Australia and we are wholly confident of placing it all,” says Rodney. “Customers love the convenience of us having it here. Skybond on demand with next day delivery to places like Mackay and Cairns is almost unheard of for a product like this.”

Chris Lewis-Williams agrees. “Our logistics footprint in Australia is second to none,” he concludes. “And that can’t be underestimated with a product like Skybond. It’s imperative that it is transported correctly. With nine warehouses and experience with transporting difficult to move products like this one, and to get it to customers quickly in sound condition, we have an advantage.”
