Heineken Ireland Limited came to TPI as they wanted a ‘wow’ sampling piece for the launch of their new product, Amstel Radler®. The objective was to have an interactive piece for shoppers which tied in with the lemon theme and authenticity of the brand. They were inspired by the “Gift Tree” in reception of TPI HQ in Fonthill and asked if it could be replicated as life-size lemon tree for them. They also needed small lemons which could house a 15cl can, a voucher and a prize card. These would be used during in-store samplings in key customers for the June bank holiday by their experiential agency.

And so to workThe lemons were the tricky part - with sourcing plastic lemons large enough to house all three items and with the ability to be re-used proving near impossible.

The TPI structural team set about designing a bespoke box which would give the appearance of a real lemon and would fit the purpose precisely. They were able

to create an inner box and use die-cut lemon shapes on each side with a velcro open/close tab.

The end result was a fantastic, disruptive display for shoppers to interact with the brand in-store and introduce it to the market creatively and innovatively.

What our customer had to say: “For our Amstel Radler® sampling activation in the off trade we wanted to engage our shoppers and bring fun to the off license section in store by placing a lemon tree, adding lemons and then asking our shoppers to pick a lemon from the lemon tree. Each lemon contained a mini sample of Radler® and in random lemons a business card was placed which revealed prizes that the shopper won in store. Once the idea was briefed to TPI the production process was seamless from brief to production. Everything was taken on board i.e. logistics issues in getting the tree and lemons to store, right down to the lemon holding the weight of the sample”

Canon hits Harvey Norman with a Bang!In the first edition of Imagine back in July, Ruairi Campbell wrote a guest article on the benefits of innovative bespoke acrylic displays that included imagery of best practice from around the country.As a result of that article, Canon Ireland approached TPI and asked to create something special. This piece needed to display a range of cameras and printers and be both engaging and interactive to the consumer. TPI were on it...

With the deadline fast approaching for the launch of Harvey Norman’s new technology superstore in Swords, there was very little time for error. The team at TPI got straight to work on the concept and came up with a simple yet stylish design. An illuminated base that would hold the Canon PIXMA MG5550 Printer, EOS 100D, Powershot SX600 HS Cameras and an interactive iPad was created. A digital screen was added to captivate and engage with potential customers. Canon provided TPI with a striking image of young people capturing a moment through their Canon camera.

This picture provided the perfect backdrop for the display unit. TPI then branded the top and bottom of the unit with the Canon logo cut out of high end acrylic and mounted it securely into position. Job done!

Since this project, TPI have been creating and developing more outstanding permanent and bespoke Point of Sale displays. They are capturing the imagination and attention of clients but more importantly their target audience! Lift up the phone to discuss a project that you have in mind.

Brady Family Ham THE HAM FOR THE TRUE GAA FAN

Clever Customer Communications

Runway Marketing worked with Brady Family Ham to develop an engaging on-pack promotion themed around GAA. As official sponsor to Kildare GAA, Brady Family were keen to leverage this association, but also generate wider awareness of their support of gaelic games beyond Kildare.

The ‘Ham Sandwich’ has long been considered a GAA icon! As Brady Family already had this box ticked, Runway looked to another covetable GAA hero – the county jersey and so, the idea for an ultimate jersey give-away was born.

Brady Family offered consumers the chance to win a GAA county jersey of their choice during the summer months. The promotion was also focused on driving trial and purchase of the Brady Family pre-pack range. To enter the promotion, consumers had to purchase a pack of Brady Family Ham, locate the unique promotional code on the inside of the pack and text the code to be in with a chance to win.

There was a chance to win a jersey every 10 minutes and consumers were notified instantly if they were a winner. Winners were allowed to choose their jersey of choice, which sparked some fun insights into people’s preferences! Runway Marketing witnessed a Cork based winner order a Roscommon jersey, someone ordering a jersey for a six month old (sure you’re never too young) and someone from Meath opting for a Dublin jersey!!

The promotion was supported with TPI POS in store as well as an extensive advertising, social media and PR campaign.

Premiums

For the day that was in it, HP had a ‘pink theme’ and with the help of TPI Premiums, the promo staff were dressed in very fetching branded pink polo shirts. There were also branded pink umbrellas on standby to cope with the inclement rain showers. HP gave all of the ladies fabulous mirrors and discount cards for elara.ie (printed by TPI of course!) for the goodie bag. TPI Premiums also produced a very stylish engraved mirror in a velvet pouch. The mirror came in very useful as all of the ladies queued to get their photos taken! TPI also designed and printed a large corriboard for the stand whereby the ladies could scan the QR code to discover further details of the promo that HP were running. Corriboard is relatively inexpensive, lightweight and durable, making it an ideal display material for this type of event.

Well done to all the ladies for looking fabulous on the day! Also, thanks to Bernadette Gray Marketing Manager for HP PPS.

The term Web2Print has been around for several years but the concept is only beginning to gain popularity in today’s climate of cutting cost and improving efficiencies from both client and a print provider perspective but most importantly it has made the procurement and distribution of print through The Printed Image easier for our clients.

The Printed Image have been deploying Web2Print for our clients before the term became popular so our belief is that we have a better understanding of what to do and what not to do compared to our competitors. Any large organisation with multiple buyers or operating in multiple locations can benefit greatly from our Web2Print service. Each location

has the ability to order and customise their printed requirements, within the specified design and brand constraints, themselves. Consistency in branding is always a concern within franchise networks and group operations; key to achieving this consistency is often in the marketing literature, from menu cards to business cards, from leaflets and letter heads to newsletters and so on. This is where a Web2Print portal service is invaluable.

In fact, it would appear that the larger the organisation the bigger the problem becomes with ordering print like business cards, marketing collateral etc. and therefore the greater the benefits from a Web2Print service.

One of the added benefits of most Web2Print services is that the user interface can be tailored to the clients’ exact requirements. It automatically books a job into the print system, creates print-ready artwork and processes everything up to the print stage. Additional benefits are that client administrators can monitor activity with real-time reports and visibility on work in progress, order history or detailed analytic reporting on account spend in key areas of the business.

Even a simple web-to-print example can vary in complexity due to the unique needs of a particular client. In some instances we can have clients up and running with a simple design in a short time while other sites can take months to develop.

CLIENT BENEFITSOur Web2Print solution provides clients with unique product ordering capabilities:

• Print-on-demand: Reducing obsolence and only ordering what needed.

• Stock Management: Stock products can be ordered online.

• Customised print: Unique personlisation of products to local needs. Create and approve online.

• Non-Print items: Other non print related items can be ordered online such as promotional merchandise to support a campaign.

The advantages of using a Web2Print solution are many and here are just a few of them:

• Branded client Web2Print portal• Streamlined admin allowing localised ordering

online in minutes.• Brand Management with pre-approved templates

allowing brand to control content.• Localised users can customise, approve and place

order for products instantly online. • Brand consistency is managed as areas of templates

remain consistent throughout but allow for controlled customisation for branch offices or franchisees.

• Streamlined transfer of data resulting in shipping, purchasing and personalised billing integration with third party software providers.

• Cost savings on admin and obsolesence.• Faster turnaround and automated order

processing at The Printed Image.
