Promotional Display Hits Sustainability Goals.
Promotional Display Hits Sustainability Goals.Blackhawk Network delivers branded in-store solutions for gift card sales as well as managing the merchandising of POS displays for their retailer partners.
id8 Studio was asked to design and produce an off-location multi-brand gift card display for Blackhawk Network’s Father’s Day campaign in major retailers, Big W and Woolworths.
What better gift for dad…the man who buys himself anything he wants!
Our challenge was to create a universal design that suited both major retailers, whilst keeping sustainability at top of mind.
The Brief
- Design and supply a 4-sided temporary display that is environmentally friendly and can be easily recycled following the in-store promotion.
- Deliver a unit that was as sustainable as possible.
- The temporary displays needed to last for a 3-week promotion in stores.
- Challenge: Big W had a POG of 48 cards and Woolworths had a POG of 72 cards. The design challenge was to create a common unit for both retailers Big W and Woolworths that could hold different quantities of stock for each retailer.
The Solution
- We designed and delivered a display using FSC certified cardboard and soy-based inks with a water-based varnish. By doing this, we provided a unit that is fully recyclable at its end of use at retail.
- Instead of plastic hooks, we supplied degradable PLA (Polyactic Acid) hooks, a degradable plastic made from renewable sources.
- Both retailers display units shared common elements except for their bases. The base used for the Big W display was slightly taller than the base used for the Woolworths display.
The taller base covered the additional pegboard holes that were on the main body. - By doing this, we were able to provide a common display, with common parts; reducing tooling and streamlining assembly, whilst delivering cost savings to Blackhawk Network.
Results
The Father’s Day Promotional Displays were delivered and installed into 1,285 stores nationally.
