Creating an experiential first in market display for Sony’s ‘Truly Wireless’ earphones.
Project details: SONY BOUTIQUE Headphones Display
Retailer: JB Hi-Fi
Roll out period: November 2020 – February 2021
Activation: 150 displays produced / 145 installed
Overview
With a commitment from JB Hi-Fi to support the growing portable audio category, the team at SONY invested in a storewide upgrade from their existing 1.2-metre-wide wall mounted display to a premium 2.4-metre-wide demonstration unit.
A first-in-class design, the brief was to ‘raise the bar’ in the category, and deliver a premium, demonstrable display that would establish Sony as the category leader in JB HiFi.
The key challenge was to for the first time ever, enable customers to experience the In-Ear ‘Truly Wireless’ earphones. Never previously achieved due to hygiene challenges, the id8 response to the brief included:
- In Ear product on display, in drawer under glass windows
- Lockable drawer containing MP3 Walkman for pairing to ‘In Ear’ phones and demonstration under staff supervision
- Disposable single use silicone earpieces, and disposal unit
- Overhead headphones displayed; content controlled by touch pad tablet controller
- Modular tiles across the display bench allow for range to be expended or contracted, or replaced with illuminated graphic
- Lockable stock cabinets, fully illuminated with glass doors enable staff to make an immediate sale rather than retrieving stock from warehouse.
- Full width fabric lightbox & lifestyle graphic
- Illuminated pelmet logo
Upon order, we were hit with another first – a global pandemic!
Still, we pulled it off, 150 x displays produced, delivered to Australia, and rolled out nationally to all stores.
Success in execution, success in boosting sales, and success in claiming the category for Sony.
